I am proud to announce that, today at 5:00PM, the unofficial scores for the last GACE exam were released.  According to those scores, I have passed both parts of the Special Education (General Curriculum) exam!

I’m so happy and excited, because now I will have Special Education on my teaching certificate.  I’m always happy to have an extra credential, but Special Education is in such need right now, and to be certified in it will almost certainly give me a leg up on the job competition.

But don’t think I’m done yet.  My next plan is to call the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GAPSC) and inquire about AP certification; this will allow me to teach students across the entire spectrum.  I am excited about the overall scope of my teaching certificate now.

I will be celebrating this victory, and it has certainly inspired me and given me additional energy to continue looking for jobs and building my credentials.

Thanks for the patience while I transfer my account to a new hosting company.  The transfer is almost done and I’m in the process of recreating things here.  You’ll be seeing more on this site soon–stay tuned!
