It’s #TeamNBCT week and we’re celebrating all National Board Certified Teachers! And we’ve got exciting news!
We’re making available a digital badge that accomplished teachers can use to tell the world that they’re an NBCT. We are proud of your accomplishment and hope you will share your success with others.
The digital badge is portable and includes the details of National Board certification – NBCTs can show it off in an email signature, a digital resume, on a blog, on a website, or social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. The digital image is clickable and will take the viewer to a landing page describing what National Board certification is and how to achieve it.
By Friday, January 27, 2023, all 2022 new NBCTs and those who maintained their certification will get an email notification from Credly (admin@credly.com) with instructions for claiming your badge and setting up your account. Be sure to visit the Help Page if you have questions. If you do not receive an email from admin@credly.com, please get in touch with us through this form.
