National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS)
NBPTS programs develop, recognize and retain effective teachers.
National Board Certification, for veteran teachers, is a 10-part performance assessment that includes video portfolios, analysis of classroom practice and evaluation of content knowledge.
Take One!, a component of National Board Certification, can be used for professional development by faculty members to improve teaching effectiveness and help build learning communities. Qualified teachers can use Take One! as an initial step in National Board Certification candidacy.
