MORE THAN 3,900 TEACHERS WERE NEWLY AWARDED CERTIFICATES BASED ON THE REDESIGNED PROCESS NEAR THE END OF 2019.

EACH SUMMER, THE NATIONAL BOARD ACADEMY BRINGS THESE ADVOCATES TOGETHER TO SHARE SUCCESSES AND PLAN FOR THE YEAR AHEAD. IN 2019, THE NATIONAL BOARD CONTINUED ITS LAUNCH OF A NATIONWIDE COMMUNICATIONS EFFORT TO BUILD INTEREST FOR THE REDESIGNED BOARD CERTIFICATION ASSESSMENT WITHIN THE TEACHING PROFESSION. THE NATIONAL BOARD IS ACTIVE IN EDUCATION POLICY DISCUSSIONS AT THE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVELS. THROUGH THESE POLICY EFFORTS, THE NATIONAL BOARD WORKS TO ENGAGE POLICY MAKERS IN BOARDS OF EDUCATION, STATE LEGISLATURES, CONGRESS AND NONPROFIT ASSOCIATIONS WORKING TO PROMOTE EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS: THE NATIONAL BOARD UNDERTAKES STRATEGIC PROJECTS TO ADVANCE INNOVATION AND EQUITY TO MORE RAPIDLY BRING ACCOMPLISHED TEACHING TO STUDENTS WHO NEED IT MOST.

ATLAS IS A UNIQUE ONLINE LIBRARY OF VIDEOS SHOWING NBCTS AT WORK IN THEIR CLASSROOMS, PAIRED WITH THEIR OWN WRITTEN COMMENTARY ON THEIR INSTRUCTION AND STUDENTS' LEARNING. THE NATIONAL BOARD HAS BUILT AND MAINTAINS PARTNERSHIPS WITH STATES, DISTRICTS, AND TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAMS TO EMBED ATLAS AS A SUPPORT TO TEACHERS ACROSS THE EDUCATOR CAREER CONTINUUM.
