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.
