The Benefits
You’re In the Classroom By Choice, Not By Chance
While everyone else talks about what our students need, you are making it happen. National Board Certification is the recognition you deserve.
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 go far beyond the financial incentives now offered by many states and school districts. It attests to the fact that you have been judged by your peers as one who is accomplished in your field. National Board Certification:
Recognizes achievement – both yours and your students
The process caused me to reflect on how I could raise the level of rigor while increasing student achievement across the board.
-Adam Kinory, NBCTStrengthens and reaffirms teaching strategies
It really allowed me to search within and question my practice. I know why I do things in the classroom, but to put it on paper for others meant that I had to do a lot more for self-reflection.
-Rodney Boone, NBCTAdds credibility to the teaching profession
For the first time in my life, I feel like a true professional. I can hold my head up proudly and be glad about working in the education profession.
-Charles Bennerman, NBCTRepresents the profession’s highest standards
I viewed NBC as a mountain I wanted to climb. It is the highest achievement in our profession and I wanted to meet that challenge.
-Michelle Walton, NBCTPositively impacts student learning
When my daughter had Sharon Parker (NBCT) as a teacher she improved as a student. Her intensity increased, her expectations for herself increased and I saw my daughter work harder than she had for other teachers.
