The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards

Brief Narrative Description:

The National Board for Professional Teacher Standards is an organization of teachers and many other educational organizations and associations working to promote the improvement of student learning. The central process of The NBPTS is both student assessment and teacher assessment. This session will focus on early childhood certification.

Learner Objectives:

1. Educators will identify the current areas of Ohio NBPTS certification

2. Administrators and curriculum personnel will be aware of internal support systems for NBPTS candidates

3. Ohio educators will be aware of ODE support systems

4. Ohio candidates will become knowledgeable about the Ohio Universities which provide trained facilitators for the NBPTS process.

5.. Ohio educators will become aware of a national assessment system.

Target Audience: All ECE educators, administrators, and supervisors.

Summary Content:

This presentation will be interactive with participants. Professional materials will be distributed for actual application for participants. NBPTS facilitators will discuss both the emotional and the intellectual demands of the certification process.

Presentation strategies will provide information specifically to Early Childhood/Generalist (ages 3-8) Teachers and administrators will be provide information on Ohio support for the certification process during the 1999- 2000 academic year.

It is important to note that a majority of the board of directors of the NBPTS is teachers. Teachers are clearly central to planning, implementing, developing, and modifying the NBPTS policies and procedures. The National Board for Professional Teacher Standards may be contacted at 1.800.22.teach or at http://www.nbpts.org.

Wright State University is one of several Ohio Universities which offer facilities, course credit, and formal sessions for candidates for NBPTS certification.

We would be willing to repeat this session
