  4. What Are The Goals Of National Board Certification? • To maintain high and rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do • To provide a national, voluntary system certifying teachers who meet these standards • To advocate related educational reforms to integrate National Board Certification in American education and to capitalize on the expertise of National Board Certified Teachers • NBC is an advanced teaching credential. It complements, but does not replace, your teaching license.

THE FIVE 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.

Qualified applicants must have: • At least 3 years of experience as a preK-12 classroom teacher or school counselor in a public or private school • A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution • A valid, unencumbered teaching license (or a license to practice as a school counselor if applying for the School Counseling certificate)

  7. WHO SHOULD DO THIS? • Teachers who are risk takers • Teachers strong on both content and pedagogy • Teachers respected by peers • Teacher leaders • Teachers looking for a good professional development opportunity. • Provides portability.
