Subject: Teaching Certification
Hello. My name is Not Yet Revealed and I am
a recent graduate of UTM.

…I have not received my teaching
certification, (with no reasons to not have
already done so), and I was wondering if
there is any way you could tell me who I
would need to contact in order to resolve this
issue. Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I talked with Not Yet Revealed today. Yes, I
attempted to process her application;
however, just for the record, she did not have
all her Praxis II exam test scores sent to us.
(That sort of negates her "with no reason to
not have already done so" parenthetical
comment.) She is getting those scores to me
ASAP so that I can finalize her application.


I will say this regarding her signature quote:
She may possess the supreme art of teaching,
for she certainly awakened the joy in creative
expression and knowledge within me.

What you can expect at the end [of your career at
UTM] is in the definition of the words "seeking
teacher certification": You will get a teacher's
license.
The courses were waived because you have met
the general education requirements for one
degree. You are NOT seeking another degree;
therefore, general education courses are not
important. You are "seeking teacher
certification"; therefore, you must take/complete
the coursework that matters for "seeking teacher
certification."

Well, Jessica, I got a new iPhone 5. Guess
what I figured out? I have discovered a new
way to use all those iPads in our office. When
I discovered talking text, I also discovered
that it would punctuate as I told it to.
Furthermore, it also knows the difference
between your/you're when I say you're
welcome. Ain't this going to be fun! This will
be a neat way to teach teachers to teach
grammar. It will also be a neat way to teach
editing and revision. Yes, every word and
punctuation of the above text was dictated
into my microphone on my iPhone 5. I love it!
