Professional Teaching Standards Board of Directors is responsible for recruiting new board members. It appoints a Nominating Committee from its own ranks each year which works to seek out the best possible candidates from around the country. Four of the eight members of the Nominating Committee are teaching professionals. The board seeks nominations from dozens of constituent organizations, obtains background information, requires candidates to write a statement about their teaching philosophy and why they wish to serve, checks references and then nominates candidates who meet the specifications set forth in the National Board's by-laws. New board members are elected during the annual meeting held in October of each year.
New members learn about board history, organization and culture.
They participate in workshops on developing standards and assessments and mobilizing support for the National Board. All rights reserved.
