\"National<\/a>The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards<\/a> (NBPTS) is now recruiting! Help shape the future of National Board Certification and experience a sample of the process that thousands of teachers have called transformative.<\/p>\n

The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards is seeking PreK-12 grade teachers to volunteer to participate in field tests of the revised National Board Certification process.<\/p>\n

Performance-based and peer-reviewed, National Board Certification is the profession’s highest mark of accomplished teaching. The revisions are aimed at making the certification process more flexible, affordable and efficient so that many more teachers and students can benefit. National Board Certified Teachers as well as teachers or educators who have not yet achieved certification are invited to apply.<\/p>\n

Important Things to Note<\/b>
\n\u2022\u00a0There is no cost to participate in the field tests and there is also no compensation for participating. (Teachers who serve as scorers for the field tests will receive some compensation. To apply to be a scorer, please visit scorenbpts.pearson.com<\/a>.)
\n\u2022\u00a0Scores on the field test components are for research purposes only and will not<\/span> be provided to the participants or be counted toward National Board Certification.
\n\u2022\u00a0Participating in field testing will not preclude you from participating in the revised assessment process.
\n\u2022\u00a0Unfortunately, they cannot accept volunteers who are undergraduate students and pre-service teachers at this time.<\/p>\n

When and Where?<\/b>
\nThe National Board will be field testing three components of the revised certification process: Content Knowledge (delivered at the assessment center); Teaching Practice and Learning Environment (involves creating a video); and Effective and Reflective Practitioner (a new written component). A large number of teachers are required to complete the field testing process. In addition, a significant subset of field test participants will be asked to complete all three of these components over a three-year timeframe, as outlined in the table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
