Education Frustration

Ugh! I've already talked with Lynx about this problem. You all know by now that I'm a teacher, originally from Pennsylvania. Much of this year has been spent getting settled into routine here in Ohio, part of which was moving my teaching certificate from one state to the other. I even called the Department of Education, who said they had everything they needed and were waiting on the results of my FBI background check (my second attempt at that since the first set of fingerprints were apparently lost).

Last month, I received written notification that I cannot move my certificate until I pass a second Praxis II that isn't required in Pennsylvania. If ANYONE could have mentioned this to me earlier, I could have had an Ohio teaching certificate prior to the rush to fill jobs for next year. As is, I must pray they'll accept the certificate I have while cramming for this Praxis test. It's all teaching theory that I haven't studied since Ed Psych class in 1992. I can apply the theory, just can't remember the name of the theory I'm using.

Again, UGH! The test is on the 29th. At least I'm pretty much laid off this week while the districts in which I sub have Spring Break. Study time galore...
