Taking a Test - OH NO

I swore to myself, swore, that when I got my masters degree I would never take another test. Ever.

Fast forward 10 years. This week I am going to our regional service center with 3 other teachers from my campus to take prep classes for the TExES test for ESL. The English as a Second Language Supplemental (ESL) (154) . On Saturday morning at 7:30 I will present myself to the testing center. At 8:00 the test will start. The test, I'm told will take about 2 1/2 hours to complete.

When (if???) I pass it I will get my ESL certification. Next year we are looking at quite a few ESL students coming to 2ND grade, more than our one ESL teacher can accommodate. There are 7 second grade teachers. After this test 3 of us will be ESL certified in second, two in first and 2 in K.

So far in this training it seems to be not much more than good teaching practices, modifications and accommodations similar to those in inclusion plus a few more rules. I am already an inclusion teacher and use good, research based teaching practices in my class. I'm hoping that the test won't throw me any curves.

I'd appreciate any prayers you can say for me on Sat. morning around 8:00 central time.
Thanks!
