What
does it mean to be National Board Certified?
"National Board Certification is more than just adding a
set of initials after your name. It is the highest symbol of professional
teaching excellence. The rewards are many and becoming a National Board
Certified Teacher attests to the fact that you have been judged by your
peers as one who is accomplished in your field."
~ nbpts.org
National Board Certified Teachers have demonstrated that they meet these
five core propositions:
Proposition 1:
Teachers are Committed to Students and Learning
Proposition 2:
Teachers Know the Subjects They Teach and How to Teach Those Subjects to
Students
Proposition 3:
Teachers are Responsible for Managing and Monitoring Student Learning
Proposition 4:
Teachers Think Systematically about Their Practice and Learn from
Experience
Proposition 5:
Teachers are Members of Learning Communities
"It is the most rewarding professional development
experience that I have had in my teaching career."
~ Jeanne
Taylor, NBCT
