National Board Certified Teachers and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards advance the quality of teaching and learning ......

Dr. L. Matthews sent us this and posted it to our Facebook group also. (Yes, we have a group on Facebook, if you are on Facebook, the largest social networking site around, join the group- look for it- Teacher Talk :) )

Hi all, one of the questions I have been consistently asked is: What did the report mean by "re-professionalization"?

This is where we embrace a set of standard about the nature of good teaching and our continuing development of teachers that can be respected and esteemed within the public and professional domain.

I have been advocating that the Union and its members, and the Ministry adopt a mutually agreed upon set of teaching standards upon which "continuing" certification and professional development should be based. A really great set come from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and National Board Certified Teachers. Click here to go to the site.
