I'm A Professional

Most of the time, anyway. Tonight, I gave a presentation to parents about MCAS and accommodations and how those affect their kids. (For you non-MA residents, and non-special education people, MCAS = State Assessment System, accommodations help kids with disabilities take it). Sitting in the audience, along with many anxious parents (expected) were the director of special education for the district (unexpected, increase stress points) and a school committee member (also unexpected).

Suddenly, I'm big time. Fortunately, I didn't bomb. Still a little sweaty now that it's all said and done, though.
