Pardon for my long absence but homework decided to unload in my life. Therefore I had spent the past couple of weeks completing what is known here in the state of California as the Teacher Performance Assessments – otherwise known as TPAs (they are also known by many other, non-PC names). They are the educators version of a dissertation; imagine given one topic and having to write 10, 10 page essays.
They were due two days ago and although there is still more homework, I can breathe a small sigh of relief.
Nothing too much to update now, I do have some posts in draft form I would like to bring out soon, we’ll see.
