Message from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards
We want you to know that the National Board is monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on teachers, schools, and communities. We are well aware that many schools are closing, many students are affected, and your pursuit of National Board Certification may be among the many aspects of life impacted. The National Board remains committed to providing you with updated information about the plans we are making to respond to those impacts. We are currently developing a comprehensive plan, and will keep you informed in the coming weeks. As a reminder, official decisions by the National Board will be shared via email and also on our website’s Newsroom, Facebook and Twitter social media channels.
If COVID-19 has you quickly transitioning to teaching students online, we invite you to join a webinar that will highlight teaching methods and practical approaches for successful online teaching and learning. Featuring National Board Certified Teachers, this webinar will take place on Monday, March 16 at 7pm Eastern / 6pm Central / 5pm Mountain / 4pm Pacific / 1pm Hawaiian. Registration is required. We will send a webinar recording to all registrants. This webinar is available to all teachers and not specific to National Board Certification.
We are interested in your experience and the impact of COVID-19 on your teaching and in your school. Please share your perspective through this survey. We will not be able to reply to individual responses.
We are committed to ensuring that all candidates have equitable opportunities in the Board certification and Renewal assessment processes. We also know that these are trying times on many fronts, and we wish you all the best.
Warmly,
The National Board Team
