All rights reserved. The National Board Certification process is rigorous, requiring a two-part assessment based on the National Board standards and reflecting various aspects of teaching. The two parts include a classroom-based portfolio constructed by the candidate during the school year and a set of assessment center exercises organized around challenging teaching issues. To apply, you must have completed three years of classroom teaching. Most National Board Certified teachers indicate that the certification process is the best professional growth experience they have had in their teaching careers.
