You will need Adobe Acrobat to read some of the forms and tables. In the following sections, I include a series of quotes from the Board's web site. They are set off in a different font, and their web address is cited. At the end of this working paper, I mention possible implications of the Board's work for teacher education program design.

Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to teach those subjects to students. Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning. Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from experience. Teachers are members of learning communities. The Board has created, or is in the process of creating, a set of certificates.
