Advancing Accomplished Teaching
Through National Board Certification, teachers demonstrate that their teaching meets the
profession’s highest standards for accomplished practice through a rigorous, peer-reviewed, and
performance-based process, similar to professional certification in fields such as medicine. In
achieving National Board Certification, teachers prove their ability to advance student learning and
achievement. More than a decade of research confirms that National Board Certified Teachers
(NBCTs) positively impact student learning.
