چکیده
The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) was established to develop and administer a voluntary system of advanced professional certification to recognize highly accomplished K–12 teachers. The standards guiding task development were developed by committees of teachers and scholars. To obtain the NBPTS certificate, teachers prepare an extensive portfolio demonstrating their preparation, classroom work, teaching strategies, instructional goals and results, students’ work, and professional activities. In addition, they participate in one day of performance activities at a regional assessment center. The process takes up to one school year to complete.
