National Board Certified Teachers Program
A rigorous assessment program designed to recognize and reward excellent teachers, National Board Certification (NBC) was established to "professionalize the profession". Just as other professions such as doctors and architects can pursue the accomplishment and recognition of board certification in their specialty, NBC gives acknowledgement to our best teachers. It’s also perhaps the finest single professional development program available to teachers today. National Board Certification is an advanced teaching credential. It complements, but does not replace, a state's teacher license. It is valid for 10 years, after which National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) can seek certification renewal.
