National Board Certification Creates Effective Educators!

I need study materials and classroom lessons to help support my journey for national board certification.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barton's classroom raised $192

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Board-certified teachers prove their effectiveness in the classroom every day: These books will help me become a better writing and connect with the National Board Standards to increase my scores.

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. There are many great reasons to become board-certified with NBPTS.

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.

I appreciate your investment in my students, school, and community by empowering my pursuit of National Board Certification.
