I finally got the last of my paperwork. I then took an online training whose rules had changed in the past two years (when I last took it). I've filled out all of the forms, attached all of the transcripts, test scores, and verification forms. I paid the $200 and included the receipt. All I need to do is get the last page notarized and then mail (insured) this hefty package to Juneau. Once approved, I will receive my professional teaching certificate for Alaska.
Honestly, I feel a real sense of accomplishment right now. Sure, I'm frustrated at the number of hoops that were thrown at me, but I dove right through every one and emerged unscathed (if $200 poorer). Thankfully, the renewal process (which needs to be done every five years) is not nearly as cumbersome.
I'm eager to finally get the actual certificate in hand.
