Achieving National Board Certification in World Languages is the essential companion for World Language teachers who are currently working on, or considering working on, the National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) process with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS).
Written by two secondary teachers who are both NBCTs, the book provides candidates with support and guidance through the process of obtaining National Board Certification, as many candidates in world language certify alone without a mentor teacher. The process to become an NBCT is rigorous, and there is minimal support available to help teachers through this process. This book offers a solution to this as an in-hand and in-print mentor for candidates. Case studies and Your Turn segments provide space to brainstorm, plan, and measure the candidate’s work against the National Board rubrics. This book will ensure candidates can have greater peace of mind that they submitted the best possible portfolio and that they responded to the prompts in the way that most accurately reflects accomplished teaching.
This is an essential resource for secondary World Language teachers who are working on or considering National Board Certification.
