I was class of 83 but didn't get my teaching certification there. I got my National Board Certification back around 2000 and was if memory serves me correctly the 178th person in the country to get Middle Grade History/Social Studies certification. I renewed it ten years later and retired in 2019. It was a real challenge to get that certification and renew it but well worth it both to improve in the profession and as a financial incentive to remain in the classroom rather than going into administration or leave the profession. Hats off the those ASU grads that made it this year. I hope the state is still providing a pay raise for them. I know they were trying to take it away along with master's pay a few years ago.
