At a Glance
National Board Certification is based on professional standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do. The National Board certifies teachers who successfully complete its rigorous certification process. NEA supports and promotes the national certification process as an important element of a comprehensive system to ensure teacher quality. We provide support to our state and local affiliates on National Board issues.
We bring together National Board (NBPTS) staff and our state instructional issues staff regularly to discuss recruiting and supporting National Board candidates. We provide workshops for potential candidates -- such as the "Jump Start" program in Washington state -- where we demystify the NBC process, delve into the standards, and help our members understand the requirements.
