Our work at the National Board is based on the belief that every child deserves to be taught by an accomplished teacher. When accomplished practice becomes the norm, the advantage will be significant, spreading beyond students and teachers to be felt by their communities, employers and society at-large.
Show your pride!
The National Board Ambassadors Program
The most influential voice about the power of Board certification is the voice of an NBCT. The National Board Ambassador Program seeks to recruit, train, and deploy NBCTs within their school districts to promote National Board Certification with teachers and school and district leadership.
After attending a virtual orientation session, ambassadors will receive the materials, resources, and support to host an awareness session for colleagues in their school or district. Ambassadors are also encouraged to do 1:1 outreach, meet with school and district leadership on the benefits of Board certification, and participate in other awareness events and activities.
If this sounds like a commitment you are interested in, please read the overview and complete the interest form.
NBCT Certificate
New and maintained NBCTs will receive a hardcopy NBCT certificate via mail approximately six weeks after score release.

There is a $25 fee for each certificate requested and a six-week processing time.
You can also download a PDF copy of your NBCT certificate directly from your National Board account. After logging in, select My Journey from the left-hand navigation menu, then click on the Certification Progress tab.
