2014168.00The Department of Education has been officially notified that the National Board Certification process is under a revision. Due to the revisions in the certification process, individuals will not be allowed to complete National Board Certification for at least two years while the process is under revision (with the exception of those retakes under the old certification system). This means that the number of individuals receiving National Board Certification will significantly drop during this revision period. 130 is the approximate number of retake candidates.
201562.00Due to the revisions being made to the process to achieve national certification, the projected number of new National Board Certified Teachers has been decreasing since 2014. The number of teachers who achieved certification in 2015, who will be eligible for the initial $5,000 award in the fall of 2016, is 62. The projected number for new national board certified teachers in 2016 who will be eligible for the initial $5,000 award in the fall of 2017 is zero. The revisions will be complete in 2017 and the potential exists for 400-500 teachers who may achieve National Board Certification in the fall of 2017 and be eligible for the initial $5,000 award in 2018. This data was provided by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
