National Board Certification measures a teacher’s practice against high and rigorous standards. The process is an extensive series of performance-based assessments that includes teaching portfolios, student work samples, videotapes, and thorough analyses of the candidates’ classroom teaching and student learning. Teachers also complete a series of written exercises that probe the depth of their subject-matter knowledge and their understanding of how to teach those subjects to their students.
Congratulations to the following educators who have earned the National Board Certification over the past two years. Your commitment to educational excellence, professional growth and excellence, and providing your students with exceptional learning opportunities is commendable.
