Slide2What is a National Board Certification?
National Board Certification
(NBC) is a voluntary, advanced teaching credential that goes beyond state licensure. NBC has
national
standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do. The
National Board
certifies teachers who successfully complete its rigorous
certification
process
.
National Board
Certification
(established in 1987) was
designed to develop, retain and recognize accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing improvement in schools nationwide
.
Slide3Five Core Propositions
Teachers are committed to students and their learning.
Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to teach those subjects to students.
Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning.
Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from experience.
Teachers are members of learning communities.
Slide4Reasons to Certify
It is the most respected professional
certification
available in K-12 education.
Students learn more.
A decade of research shows that students of board-certified teachers learn more than their peers without board-certified teachers. Studies have also found that the positive impact of having a board-certified teacher is even greater for minority and low-income students.
Teachers improve their practice.
Board Certification allows teachers to hone their practice, showcase their talent in the classroom and demonstrate their dedication to their students and their profession.
Demonstrate a commitment to excellence.
Schools with National Board Certified Teachers are characterized by better teacher morale and retention and increased community involvement. Districts and schools that want to drive student learning recognize the power of Board certification and are taking steps to empower and raise the status of accomplished teachers.

must
select an entire class of students as your group. If you do not work with an entire class of students, but you work with a number of students who share similar characteristics and work with them separately, these students may constitute your group.
Provide evidence that you collect relevant information about your group of students from data sources and through communications with people who know your students well. This evidence proves that you base assessment practices on your knowledge of the students and understanding of sound assessment principles, including assessment purpose, validity, and fairness. You show that you use assessments, the information gained from assessments, and other data sources to positively impact these students’ learning. You must link the assessment data to your practice; be specific about how the data you submit provides support for what you do in the classroom.
Submit evidence that you use accumulated knowledge about students from the current year and/or previous school year to analyze the effectiveness of your own practice and to initiate or contribute to collaborative efforts in the school, district, community, or other learning communities designed to support students’ learning and growth.
