She helped establish the Coalition of Certified Teachers in Ohio, and she teaches courses on Board certification at Ohio and Ashland Universities. She is also a leader in her own district, mentoring new teachers, contributing to her district's early childhood education magazine, producing educational materials for parents, and serving on the early childhood committee. Despite her position as a reform leader, Moyer still manages to maintain a full-time teaching schedule. For years people have asked me to go on to other positions in the district, but I refuse to leave the classroom. Currently, there are more than 1,800 National Board Certified Teachers from 45 states, and the numbers are expected to grow.
States are both encouraging and rewarding excellence in teaching.
More than 30 states provide incentives for teachers seeking National Board certification. EDC is now in the process of developing the Exceptional Needs Assessment to identify what accomplished special education teachers should know and be able to do. The overall goal of this project is to develop an assessment that reflects the artistry and complexity of accomplished teaching, and contributes to the professional recognition and growth of special education teachers.
