Ready, (C)SET, Go!

"The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires."
-William Arthur Ward

A big shout out to Andie! She aced the CSET, passing all 7 subject tests in just 2 sittings! Didn't have to repeat a single test. Yay, Andie!

CSET stands for California Subject Examinations for Teachers. Andie had to pass subject tests in math, history, science, english, arts, human development, and physical education, to show teacher competency!

Her Special Education position at Sheppard Middle School in the Alum Rock School District has turned out to be quite a difficult job! But once Andie gets through this school year (just 8 more weeks) she can find a school that's a better fit! Especially now that she has officially proven to be a bonafide competent teacher in the state of California!

"There are three things to remember when teaching: know your stuff; know whom you are stuffing; and then stuff them elegantly." -Lola Mays
