DescriptionAssessment and DeliveryThis program represents the core of National Board's operation, National Board Certification. Similar to Board certification in fields such as medicine, this rigorous, performance-based, peer-review process enables teachers to demonstrate that they meet the profession's highest standards of accomplished practice. Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the National Board in 2012, the organization celebrated the significant milestone of surpassing 100,000 National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs). These accomplished educators are advancing student learning and achievement across the country, representing all 50 states and 25 certificate areas, from Pre-K through 12th grade. The certification process is managed by staff in the National Board's Arlington, Virginia, headquarters, with all operational support (customer service, fee processing, materials management, etc.) carried out at the Board's San Antonio, Texas, Operations Center. Scoring of portfolio entries is performed under contract with a major international testing company.Description

DescriptionPolicy, Mobilization & OutreachUnder a new organizational structure, all external relations and policy development activities were merged with outreach efforts. This organizational shift reflected cross-cutting work toward a major strategic priority: Engaging National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) as advocates and leaders in elevating the profession. The National Board is active in education policy discussions in many states and in the federal government, working with both consultants and NBCTs to engage policy makers in Boards of Education, state legislatures, Congress and nonprofits working to promote excellence in teaching and learning.Description

DescriptionEducator EffectivenessThis program focuses on the development and revision of National Board Standards, which are created by teachers, for teachers; the development of products and services aligned to the National Board's mission; and research to assess the impact of National Board Certification on student learning, achievement and the profession.Included in this program is the ongoing review and updating of the National Boards Standards. During 2012, the Certification Council recommended, and the Board of Directors adopted the revised Science standards.In 2012, the National Board began the development of ATLAS (Accomplished Teaching, Learning and Schools), a major new resource designed to help spread accomplished teaching throughout the profession. 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 initiated partnerships with states and districts to pilot the development of ATLAS to support teachers across the educator career continuum, with work beginning in 2013 to pilot ATLAS in teacher preparation programs. This product is scheduled to be introduced to the broad market in 2014.Description

Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds:Part V, Line 4:To provide scholarships.
Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X, Line 2:Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Organization and recognize a tax liability if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization and has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The 990 is prepared by the National Board's accounting firm, with close coordination of the Finance & Accounting Department. The draft Return is thoroughly reviewed by the Interim Chief Financial Officer and the President & CEO before acceptance for electronic filing. At the point at which the Return can be filed, a copy is posted on a secure web site for members of the Board of Directors to view. Comments may be addressed to NBPTS staff by members of the Board of Directors. After the comment period, the Return is electronically filed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cBoard of Director members annually receive a list of substantial vendors and disclose any dealings with or interests in those vendors. Board members are expected to recuse themselves from any deliberations or votes where a conflict of interest may occur. Staff, including those whose positions are as corporate officers, are not required to make annual disclosures. Executive Committee of the Board is required to approve all contracts in excess of $250,000.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The CEO is a contract position whose duties and responsibilities are determined, supervised, and measured by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. Typically, an executive search firm is engaged to manage and oversee the selection process of the CEO position. The Executive Committee of the Board engages an independent compensation consultant to make recommendations as to appropriate compensation levels for the CEO, based on compensation of CEOs in similarly sized and located organizations. Deliberations and minutes of the Executive Committee are kept in the organization's records. NBPTS hires employees, including those at an officer or executive level, at market rates and provides salary increases based on equity adjustments and/or cost of living. NBPTS periodically compares salaries for its positions to external sources and uses the results of this review to make adjustments to correct market imbalances. Salary information for all levels of employees is provided annually to the Finance Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 18The form 1023 and 990 may be obtained from the Director, Finance & Accounting. Form 990s are available on guidestar.org.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19NBPTS included its revised bylaws with its 2006 Form 990, which is available to the public on guidestar.org. Individuals seeking a copy of the bylaws may contact NBPTS and a copy will be sent free of charge. The Conflict of Interest policy is an internal Board document and is not made available to the public. Financial statements are made available to entities who have a valid purpose for obtaining such information.
