Description

This practical book presents a comprehensive blueprint for preparing teachers to achieve National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification. An outgrowth of the authors' more than five years of experience working with teacher candidates, the approach described here enlists the collaboration of both university educators and professional staff development personnel. The book includes a detailed outline of a seminar to introduce teachers to the NBPTS process, complete with written samples and reproducible overhead transparency masters. Also featured are chapters contributed by Board Certified Teachers, who share portfolio samples and activities in four certification areas. Supported by research-proven best practices in professional education, the book includes extensive reference lists and helpful hints for facilitators.
