There are some teachers here in Washington who are 
"grandfathered" in on their teaching certificates with the
state dept of public instruction...and they don't have to
do any "continuing education" to keep said certificate. 
Most teachers now though have to keep up a standard
of continuing education where they must accumulate 
a certain number of credits every 5 years to keep their
certification. As a National Board Certified Teacher, Anne
is exempt from that requirement for 10 years, but she's
not paying attention to that (grin), she's been to one class
already since school let out and is starting another tomorrow!
She is always interested in learning, and finding new and 
better ways to incorporate those skills into the classroom.
She often has a larger than normal percentage of kids 
with "special needs" that she is trying to give as good 
an educational experience as they can manage within 
their particular needs.
chat with you soon!
