# A Recursive Process

### [Classroom Top Four, Revisited](https://blog.recursiveprocess.com/blog/classroom-top-four-repost)

### [NBCT](https://blog.recursiveprocess.com/2022/12/19/nbct)

   December 19, 2022, 12:00 am  

*So this is a twitter thread that I posted regarding the NBCT path. Seeing how twitter is on the way down the toilet, I’ll fix some of the typos and put it up here too.* *[Link](https://twitter.com/dandersod/status/1604913035080093696)*.

So a week ago I logged into the National Board website and learned that I had scored enough points on the most recent two...

   June 29, 2020, 12:00 am  

End of the year. Finally. Sixty plus school days out, from March 12th until June 12th.

Who knows what the fall will bring? More of the same, full distance learning? Some days in school, some distance? Totally back in person?

Full of questions. So I asked the students a series of questions, so...

This week I asked the students to attend a small group (<=5) 10 min meeting with me to talk about our past and our future for the cl...
