<strong>Thirty</strong>-<strong>three</strong> <strong>teachers</strong> <strong>earn</strong> <strong>National</strong> <strong>Board</strong> <strong>Certification</strong><br />
<strong>Thirty</strong>-<strong>three</strong> JCPS <strong>teachers</strong> recently received certification from the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Board</strong> for<br />
Professional Teaching Standards, the highest credential in the teaching field.<br />
Earning the certification is an intense and challenging process that requires 300 to 400<br />
hours of work and often takes between one to <strong>three</strong> years to complete. The <strong>teachers</strong> must<br />
demonstrate their ability to effectively manage and measure student l<strong>earn</strong>ing, and they<br />
must complete a two-part assessment process that tests the depth of their knowledge.<br />
<strong>National</strong> <strong>Board</strong> representatives analyze the <strong>teachers</strong>’ portfolios, samples of their students’<br />
work, and videotapes of their classrooms.<br />
