I have been teaching 16 years, will this webinar going to be helpful?

Erin - if you are interested in pursuing Board certification -- yes.

All of the resources and links shared this evening, can be found in the note catcher -https://bit.ly/3Smoja8

You will be asked to make your own copy of the note catcher -- so you can take your own notes.

Oops! I meant to say considering pursuing!

I AM TRYING TO FIX VOLUME, I CAN NOT HEAR, BUT SEEING THE VIDEO.

Barkat -- sometimes logging out and back in can help. If you can't get the volume to work this evening -- you will get a recording of the webinar along with the slides.

I have my provisional license at the moment, does NB consider that a valid teaching license?

Will you still be able to submit material before the full 3 years?

I had to go into zoom audio settings and turn up the volume. That fixed my volume issue. :-)

Kaitlyn -- my recommendation is to reach out to customer support directly for that question. What is considered provisional varies from state to state. If you reach out to customer support than can give you specific information for your state. You can do that via phone, webform, or chat at https://www.nbpts.org/contact/

Thank you! 🙂

Jasmine-Danielle will go over the policy change tonight, but If you want to learn more about the policy change, you can find answers to the most frequently asked questions here - https://www.nbpts.org/certification/policy-change-for-certification-requirements/

This reminds me of the edTPA :)\

That’s what I was thinking also

I was thinking the same thing

Will the note catcher be available later - emailed or in the chat?

Emma and Amanda -- great connection. Those who developed edTPA modeled it after National Board Certification.

Makes sense!

That’s helpful and does make sense.

Something else to think about is that many states have funds to help with the process and/or compensate those who have achieved NB Certification

Thank you for sharing this again

I accidentally deleted too many components because I misunderstood, is there a way to fix that?

How do you compare joining NB versus getting a Master in Education?

Margot -- what do you mean you deleted components?

So we can just take the 1st component and then take other components during a different school year?

Yes

How long does certification typically take?

Sorry, selected *

Do you have to start component 2 within a certain amount of time of finishing component 1? Like will your score on component 1 expire?

GOOD

For me, National Board has been more meaningful than my Masters Degree because it was about my teaching practice, my context,...my students...and it has created a leadership pathway for me that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

That is ok...call customer support and they can help you make the changes you need to make

I heard Danielle say that you can begin looking at the components and planning now. Does that mean we can begin working on the components now, and put things in the portfolio during the window? Or does the work that goes in the portfolio need to be from the time of that window?

Thank you Lisa!

Another teacher told me that you have to complete this every four years. Is that information wrong?

To improve my practice and maximize student learning potential.

Our students deserve the best and this program makes good teachers even better.

HI, EVERYBODY

Has to be renewed just like your licensure, yes

I want to push myself to be better as a professional in planning and assessing student need.\

12 % increase in pay and to see where I measure up! I’m 14 years from retirement.

I want to hone my skills as a teacher and be the best I can be.

To reflect on my practice

I’m inspired when I’m learning

SORRY FOR INTERRUPTION FROM MY SIDE

Improve and be a better teacher.

To further my knowledge and experience to better help every student I teach. I want to be the best teacher I can be.

money

financial incentive; hone in on my professional practice

I want to get more comfortable with reflecting on my own teaching, and finding more ways of improving my skills

I am looking to create ways to expand opportunities professionally, and I am thinking that perhaps Board Certification will help me in my goals for growth and promotion.

my why is to expand my knowledge and continue to grow.

pay increase

I always knew this was the right thing for me

I am looking to continue to hone my teaching practices and I have been told by many teachers how influential the National Board Certification is!

Growth

I would like to improve my practice through self reflection. it seems like the most beneficial pathway to recertification

I want to more money

salary increase

I would like to be the best teacher that I can. It seems like a very prestigious path.

To be stronger Educator.

Feels like it's time to for me to do this. I am an effective teacher that needs to be able to live and do what I love.

Pay increase and growth

to improve outcome of my classroom instruction

I am a lifelong student, and I want to learn and grow as much as I can in my first few years of teaching. I come from a homeschool background and I love how personal this program feels!

Professional Growth and salary increase.

Pay we all deserve

Teacher experience it so much better reach goals and be education .

SOMETIMES I CANNOT FACE THE NEW GENERATION

MAY BE MY ACCENT

I have thought about this for sometimeI want to be culturally responsive and able to ensure my students are progressing and are well engaged . Evidence test scores and data .Also more funds monthly

What time should we plan to budget for this commitment per week or per month?

Thank you Leah.

does the process vary for Elective teachers versus a content area?

What electives do you teach? @Taja

this is my first year teaching AVID but the past 8 years I've taught ELA.

https://www.nbpts.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Choosing_the_Right_Certificate.pdf

Is the program counts toward Teaching Certification renewal?

Does your Component 1 score ever expire?

You may want to look at English Language Arts or CTE

ok. Thank you!
