Additional Educational Resources

In an effort to keep you up to date with all the latest tools available, please visit the following resources that supplement the Outreach Toolkit by clicking on the highlighted links.

• Sec. of Ed. Arne Duncan's message to teachers considering pursuing National Board Certification. In a recent interview with NBPTS, Secretary Duncan recorded this message for teachers considering certification. It's a powerful seventy second video clip.
• Using Federal Funds to Support NBPTS Programs. This new guide is designed as a resource for states, districts and schools to help them link NBPTS programs with Title funding support.
• Video from National Board Certification as School Reform. The panel discussion, held October 21, 2009, in Washington, D.C., has valuable examples of National Board Certification as school reform, and a discussion by practitioners and a research panel on the effects of certification on schools.
• Research Pocket Card. NBPTS has just revised the pocket card, "About the Research," which includes information on research about National Board Certification in a handy, fold-up pocketable format.
   

As always, you can connect with NBCTs on NBCTLink to discuss strategies and compare efforts. You can also connect with NBCTs, potential candidates and others on Facebook and Twitter. And don't forget, more videos are available at the NBPTS YouTube page.

We greatly appreciate your efforts to spread the word about National Board Certification. Should you have any questions about any other tools, or suggestions on things that would be helpful, please do not hesitate to contact us at outreach@nbpts.org.
