Jumpstart – A Good Way to Begin the National Board JourneyDuring the summer of 2011, NBRC offered two very successful sessions for candidates who were eager to get started on their National Board portfolios. We will offer two sessions again in the summer of 2012. The first session will be held from July 30- August 3; the second session will be held from August 6 - August 10. Information about enrollment will be available later this spring.

Support Provider TrainingProviding support for new candidates for National Board certification is a good way to continue developing as a professional and developing the profession. It offers a new set of learning challenges along with real rewards. NBCTs who want to provide support for colleagues can attend sessions at the NBRC that are designed to supplement the training offered by NBPTS. Our sessions focus on learning to analyze artifacts of teaching, especially the teaching videos, to offer feedback, provide deeper reflection, and facilitate professional conversations.
THe NBRC co-sponsored a session for support providers in the fall of 2011. We hope to offer a similar session later in 2012. Please visit this site again for information and schedules.

Renew Your National Board CertificationThe NBRC hosts a session for National Board Certified Teachers who are preparing the Profile of Professional Growth (PPG) to submit for renewing their certification. You must submit the PPG within two years of the expiration date of your certification. So, if you certified in 2003 or 2004, you will be eligible to submit the PPG in April, 2013. The NBRC will hold a session for renewing candidates in the fall of 2012. Please visit this site again in the summer for information about dates. If you are a renewing candidate in 2012 you may contact the NBRC for advice should you need it.
