LM_NET: Library Media Networking
This is my first posting so please excuse errors...I have been enjoying reading
all the LM news but it has added much time onto my day so haven't responded to
anything yet...maybe I'll get the hang of it soon.
Anyway, Massachusetts also requires a teaching certificate for school
library/media specialists.
And our governor signed an ed reform bill into law on June 18, 1993 which
stated that from then on ALL teachers and administrators would have to be
recertified every 5 years in ALL areas of certification.
(Since the powers that be could not make up their minds for an entire year as
to what recertification should actually entail, we get 6 years this first
time.) All current teachers and admin. currently working must recertify
themselves by June 18, 1999. And, since your next 5 years begins as soon as
you collect your new certificate(s), there is no advantage to applying early.
We are all eagerly awaiting the Great Paper Flood which promises to sink the
city of Boston on that date when 100,000+ teachers send in their personal
professional development folders on the same day!
Well, I know that was off the subject a little...........
