- National Board Certification is a symbol of teaching
excellence. A voluntary process established by the
National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS),
it is achieved through a rigorous performance-based
assessment that takes nearly a year to complete. Through
the assessment process, teachers document their subject
matter knowledge, provide evidence that they know how to
teach their subjects to students effectively, and
demonstrate their ability to manage and measure student
learning.
- National Board Certification measures a teacher’s
practice against these high and rigorous standards. The
process is an extensive series of performance-based
assessments that includes teaching portfolios, student
work samples, videotapes and thorough analyses of the
candidates’ classroom teaching and student learning.
Teachers also complete a series of written exercises
that probe the depth of their subject-matter knowledge,
as well as their understanding of how to teach those
subjects to their students.
- National Board Certification is a credential
attesting that a teacher has been judged by peers as one
who is accomplished; makes sound professional judgments
about student learning; and acts effectively on those
judgments. National Board Certified Teachers demonstrate
a high level of knowledge, skills, dispositions and
commitments reflected in the National Board’s Five Core
Propositions:
|
- Teachers are committed to students and their
learning
- Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to
teach those subjects to students
- Teachers are responsible for managing and
monitoring student learning
- Teachers think systematically about their
practice and learn from experience
- Teachers are members of learning communities

Since 2000-2001, High School District
211 has had a total of 73 teachers earn National Board
Certification from the National Board for Professional
Teaching Standards. This certification is the highest
professional credential in the teaching field.
