What is National Board Certification?

National Board Certification is the highest professional credential for teachers in the U.S., recognizing those who meet rigorous standards of excellence. The process is built on five core principles: commitment to student learning, expertise in subject matter and teaching methods, effective classroom management, reflective practice, and active collaboration within learning communities. It showcases educators’ dedication to improving their craft and making a lasting impact on students.

 

National Board Certified Teachers embody the highest ideals of education—passion, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to student success.

 

How Do Teachers Achieve National Board Certification?

Earning National Board Certification requires teachers to complete four rigorous components over 1-3 years. These include demonstrating subject expertise, adapting instruction for diverse learners, analyzing their teaching through video submissions, and reflecting on their impact on student growth. This process highlights their dedication to excellence and continuous improvement.
