Voices of Influence: &quot;Advancing High-Quality Teaching through National Board Certification&quot;[R]. National Board for Professional Teaching Standards[R]

The National Board Certification movement is growing in size and influence, while helping to improve the performance of more students, teachers, and schools. These are not simply words, but conclusions that can be drawn from the steady growth of National Board Certification, according to discussions by prominent policymakers and scholars at a Wingspread conference in October 2007; a report by the National Research Council of the National Academies; and a study by the Center for Teaching Quality in collaboration with a team of National Board Certified Teachers. The National Board Standards, assessments, and student-centered strategies are reshaping how teachers are redefining the ongoing professional development they receive. This work received important validation in June 2008, when the National Research Council's long-awaited report concluded that NBCTs are identified for their ability to raise student achievement. It also affirmed research findings that National Board Certification helps retain teachers and is a positive professional development experience. To have an even greater impact, the movement should build on its legacy of success to seek more systemic ways for NBCTs to become leaders in schools, reach more high-need schools, and forge closer relationships with administrators, thus strengthening their role as agents of positive change. The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and NBCTs also must expand efforts to share their expertise and to be a part of debates about teaching, teacher quality, and measuring student learning. This report reflects presentations, discussions, and follow-up interviews involving participants in the conference, &quot;20/20: Clarifying a Vision for Quality Teaching&quot;, held October 22-24, 2007, at the Johnson Foundation Wingspread Conference Center in Racine, Wisconsin. Also included in this report are references to the Congressionally-mandated report, &quot;Assessing Accomplished Teaching: Advanced-Level Certification Programs&quot;, by the National Research Council of the National Academies, and &quot;Measuring What Matters: The Effects of National Board Certification on Advancing 21st Century Teaching and Learning&quot;, by the &quot;TeacherSolutions&quot; NBCT Team, Center for Teaching Quality.

Chicago's efforts to encourage and support National Board Certification in its public schools serve as a model for a broad community focus on teaching and learning. Thanks to a coalition of Chicago public and private organizations committed to promoting National Board Certification, the number of National Board Certified Teachers in the nation's third-largest public school system rose from 11 to 1,200 in less than a decade. Incredibly, nearly 90 percent of all Chicago teachers who have become NBCTs in the past decade remain in the school system, and school leaders say they are one of the factors behind the improving achievement trends throughout the district. In addition, as NBCTs take on more leadership positions both at the school and district levels, they have begun to spread best practices and help sustain reform. In his role as U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan has focused on building human capital in schools and praised the work of NBCTs in Chicago and nationwide. This paper talks about the success of Chicago in its efforts to support the National Board Certification in its public schools.

In early 2006, The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA) began an initiative called Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) to help regions create competitive conditions, integrate economic and workforce development activities, and demonstrate that talent development can successfully drive and transform regional economies across the United States. The use of a wide variety of public and private sector data and information sources described in this Catalogue of Workforce Information Sources can help in each step of the WIRED framework and assist WIRED regions to achieve their economic development vision and goals. The Catalogue of Workforce Information Sources, developed by the Employment and Training Administration in 2003 as an environmental scan, has been updated annually. It represents ETA's first effort to identify, capture, and organize the dynamic and expanding body of workforce and labor market information continuously generated by public and private sources. The intent of this catalogue is to better inform various information consumer groups including workforce, talent, and regional economic development specialists, education and training planners, and public policy makers about the large quantity of quality workforce and labor market information available to them. The catalogue is not intended to be a comprehensive encyclopedia or exhaustive inventory of all that is being produced at the federal, state, and local levels. The catalogue is organized into three sections. The first section examines a mix of labor market and workforce information sources including those most widely and commonly consulted. The second part of the catalogue examines several web-based workforce and labor market information delivery systems. The third section of the catalogue highlights new and emerging data integration and analysis tools developed by the private-sector and federal government.
