National Board Certification

 

 

Every student deserves to be taught by an accomplished teacher. National Board Certification was designed to develop, retain and recognize accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing improvement in schools nationwide. It’s the highest certification a teacher may obtain in addition to being the most respected one.

 

HB 3 highlighted The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) as a way to recruit, retain, and support highly effective teachers in all schools, with an emphasis on high-needs and rural schools. National Board-certified Teachers (NBCTs) who meet eligibility requirements will earn a Recognized designation under TIA and will generate additional funding for their school district, where 90% of the funding will be spent on teacher salaries, of which the NBCT works.
