There are currently standards for each of our 25 certificate areas. As standards are updated, they are posted on the website for National Board Candidates as well as for use by others in professional development settings. Please review carefully the version of the standards you select, using the year of submission of your initial application for National Board Candidacy or, if applicable, Retake Candidacy or based on your interest in using the standards for professional development purposes. To review and assess a specific set of standards, select from the drop down box below. All documents are in PDF format. If you are unable to open them, please download the latest version of Acrobat Reader from the Adobe Web site.
