We started like this:

Now, it feels like this:

I'm hoping it's one of those situations that falls magically into place in the last possible moments. I'm dubious, but we shall see...

On a brighter note, I'm a published author. I've started dipping my toe in the pool of future job opportunities and it's GOOD! I emailed Washington State University about being on online facilitator for National Board Certification and/or Pro Cert. I wasn't responding to a want ad or anything, just sending query to the person in charge. She's emailed me 5 times already, very excited that I will have this Master's in hand by next fall. That would be a good gig because it would allow me to see whether or not I really like being an online instructor without quitting my day job.

The readings this week also got me thinking about future opportunities in curriculum and assessment development. I think there will be a demand for that as well. The new Superintendent of Public Instruction just announced that the WASL is going computer-based. I remember when the WASL was first spawned, they actualy planned to have the students demonstrate their inquiry process skills by doing an inquiry. That fell by the wayside lickety split, but now it could come back as an online simulation. Things that make you go, hmmmmmm.
