Audience: Ceritified teachers wishing to achieve National Board Certification
Dates: 7/8/2019 to 7/11/2019
Jump Start is intended to start people with the process of attaining National Board Certification. You will began your work on the standards and components of your certification. Jump Start is designed to provide intensive training to candidates on how to be successful in each component of the NBC process. Jump Start offers a session on each of the components of NBC as well as a session on the foundations of candidacy. During these sessions, candidates receive tips on completing the National Board Certification process from National Board Certified teachers.
Jump Start is early support for those who have registered as candidates with the National Board and have selected their certificate area. It is the first piece in a continuum of professional learning; one that ideally includes year-long candidate support. Jump Start's core beliefs and structure dovetail with the philosophy behind the National Board's Professional Learning Facilitator (PLF) materials. Jump Start is candidate centered, builds a professional learning community, and focuses on the skills, knowledge, dispositions, and strategies needed to be successful in the National Board Certification process.
