Pursuing National Board Certification During COVID-19

The guidance on this page is for candidates pursuing National Board certification during the COVID-19 pandemic and has been put in place to provide flexibility for successfully completing and submitting components in 2020 and 2021.

National Board has issued some changes to requirements for portfolio submissions and candidacy. However, the Five Core Propositions, certificate-specific Standards, scoring rubrics used to assess your work all remain unchanged. Unless otherwise specified in the guidance specific to COVID-19 found on the pages linked below, component instructions remain the same. The variety of evidence requirements, found in both the General Portfolio Instructions and certificate-specific portfolio component instructions, also remain the same and apply to all candidates, whether you are teaching in person or in a virtual environment.
