Jill M. Davis, NBCT EC-Gen

I am proud to be a National Board Certified Teacher! I received my certification in 2005. I worked with a study group of four other teachers and we all certified together!

 

What is National Board Certification?

from www.nbpts.org

National Board Certification measures a teacher's practice against high and rigorous standards through an extensive series of performance-based assessments, which includes teaching portfolios, student work samples, videotapes or DVDs and thorough analyses of the candidate's teaching and the students' learning. The process involves written exercises that probe the depth of a candidate's subject-matter knowledge, as well as his or her understanding of how to teach those subjects.

 

Resources for Candidates

 Although finding a great study group (Thanks Jennie, Lori, Stefani, & Ramona) is my biggest recommendation, here are some other links that might help you on your process.

 

National Board for Professional Teaching Standards

Go to the source at the National Board website. You can find the standards, portfolio directions, directory of NBCTs, and much more!

EC-Gen Yahoo Group

Join this support group through Yahoo. You can get e-mails, daily digests, or just check the message boards on your own time. This is an excellent resource to get your questions answered!

Teachers.Net Chatboard

Post your questions and get some answers on this chat board. As a mentor, you can give back to the process by answering the questions of the candidates.
