The National Board aims to be a professional resource for all educators. See below for access to our webinar series designed for all educators – National Board Certified Teachers, candidates pursuing certification, and any other educators, too. Please join us and feel free to share this information with colleagues.
The Core Connections Webinars will resume in July when we host the National Board Academy. Thanks for your interest in our professional learning webinars.
