Who Can Take One!?
Take One! is available to all teachers as well as induction or pre-service teachers, principals, administrators, professors in colleges of education and those who provide support for National Board Certification candidates. Take One! is classroom-based professional development, and requires that educators have access to a preK-12 classroom in order to complete the portfolio entry. 
 

How Does It Work?
Take One! aligns practice to professional teaching standards. Participants identify evidence of student learning and make the critical link between teaching practice and student learning gains.  

Take One! participants:

• Study the NBPTS Standards for their teaching discipline and choose an appropriate certificate area (PDF - 54kb)
• Complete a video portfolio entry using a classroom of students to demonstrate accomplished preK-12 teaching
• Submit the entry to NBPTS to be scored, in accordance with the deadlines and policies of the current NBPTS assessment program
