The process also requires rigorous assessment exercises. Each candidate must develop a portfolio that demonstrates his or her accomplished practices and knowledge of established national standards. With the addition of these newly certified teachers, we now have a total of 94 National Board Certified Teachers in Broward Schools. Our District was the first in the State of Florida to have a teacher go through the certification process. We are proud that our teachers have continued to improve their teaching skills and attain certification.
Dedicated teachers are the backbone of a quality school district.
Those teachers who go above and beyond their normal duties to pursue excellence are to be commended. Congratulations to our National Board Certified Teachers, our newly named Teacher of the Year 2002, Henry Brown of Hallandale Adult Community Center, and the finalists on their extraordinary dedication and accomplishments. I recognize and thank all the Broward County Public School teachers who improve the lives of our students and the future of our community. Sincerely, Judie S. Budnick Board Member, Representing District 3 Dear Broward County Friends, We all remember a special teacher. The one who asked about our interests and our goals.
