Supports

“Working with Anna helped me so much to focus on my goals for students and clarify my thinking as I was writing for the National Boards. As I struggled with wordiness within my writing Anna helped me to make my writing more concise and convincing. It was incredibly helpful to have Anna there to answer my questions in such a quick and timely manner that made me feel so supported and ready. The stress of National Boards is not for the weak but with having Anna on my side I was able to successfully achieve.”

“Being in Anna’s cohort brought clarity to the certification process. She broke the components down into details and provided guidance on how to tackle all the requirements in a timely manner. I gained confidence in my writing and reflection of my work as an educator because of Anna’s support.”

“I was nervous about starting my MOC. I knew that I had put in the professional learning, but felt overwhelmed and debated if I should even try and maintain. After meeting with Maryellyn, I knew that maintaining was the right choice. Maryellyn facilitated our cohort in a way that made me feel confident in my writing and teaching. I left our meetings feeling excited about teaching and energized by the opportunity to talk about my learning and hear about the learning of others around the state. Being a part of a cohort made me feel supported and accountable. Although we never had homework or a set timeline, knowing that I was able to talk about my progress was enough to keep me on track to finish my MOC with time to spare. I am so grateful for Maryellyn.”

“It was great to hear practical advice and see samples of other's (candidate’s) writing”

“The on-line book study made it possible for me to complete my hours for certification despite being a full-time caregiver. I'm glad such an option is available!”

“This is my first workshop of this year. I really enjoyed it and will participate in more next year. This community is so inspiring and I really enjoy being a part of it. Thank you for organizing”
