National Board Certification Cohort
Deadline Approaching
I am excited to inform you about a great professional development opportunity being offered by the Tuscaloosa City Schools. As a system, we seek to value and support teachers at high levels. I believe that National Board Certification represents an unparalleled opportunity for professional growth. For these reasons, we are inviting 25 TCS teachers to join a new cohort for the 2020-2021 school year. Please watch this video to learn more about the importance of National Board Certification.
If you are interested in National Board Certification and want to learn about the supports offered by the Tuscaloosa City Schools, National Board Certification requirements, and the benefits of National Board Certification, use these resources:
- Attend a Google Meeting on Wednesday, May 6 at 3:30 with the TCS Candidate Support Program leadership team.
- Visit the TCS Candidate Support Resources website.
- Read more about the certification process and certificate areas on nbpts.org.
If you are ready to take the next step in your growth towards being an accomplished teacher, I encourage you to apply for the system's 2020-21 National Board support cohort using this digital application. Please note that there are two parts to the application. After submitting the first form, you will receive a confirmation message with a link and code for completing the second form. The application includes an essay, so allow yourself sufficient time to complete the application process.
The deadline to complete both parts of the 2020-2021 Cohort Application is May 15, 2020. Applicants will be notified of their selection status by May 22, 2020.
