I learned earlier this week that I have been successful in earning my National Board Certification. After hundreds of hours of filming, writing, thinking, and rewriting it was a relief to get my test scores and portfolio grades back. I feel really good about the work I did, the scores I earned and the quality of my portfolio; however, when I learned that my mentor didn't get awarded the NBC, I was devastated. She was going through the process at the same time and I was sure that she would get it and I would have to try again.
How do I celebrate now? How can I talk up the process of serious professional iteration, reflection, and critique when she is struggling to figure out what happened?
I wish there was a simple answer. I will let my principal and the building leadership team know but I will not advertise. I will have to keep this accomplishment to myself.
