Every
student deserves to be taught by an accomplished teacher. National
Board Certification was designed to develop, retain and recognize
accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing improvement in schools
nationwide. It is the most respected professional certification
available in K-12 education.
Created by teachers, for teachers, the National Board Standards represent
a consensus among educators about what accomplished teachers should
know and be able to do. Board certification is available in 25 certificate areas spanning 16 disciplines from Pre-K through 12th grade.
The
certification process requires that teachers demonstrate
standards-based evidence of the positive effect they have on student
learning in alignment with the Five Core Propositions.
They must exhibit a deep understanding of their students, content
knowledge, use of data and assessments and teaching practice. They must
also show that they participate in learning communities and provide
evidence of ongoing reflection and continuous learning.
Lake Havasu Unified School District is proud to recognize our teachers that have achieved National Board Certification.
