National Board Certification 

National Board Certification is an advanced teaching credential that complements, but does not replace, a state’s teacher license. Valid for ten years, National Board Certification is achieve upon successful completion of a voluntary assessment program designed to recognize effective and accomplished teachers who meet high standards based on what teachers should know and be able to do. As part of the certification process, candidates complete 10 assessments that are reviewed by trained teachers in their certificate areas. The assessments include four portfolio entries that feature teaching practice and six constructed response exercises that assess content knowledge.
