National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and National Board Certification
National Board Certification is more than just adding a set of initials after your name. It is the highest symbol of professional teaching excellence. The rewards are many and becoming a National Board Certified Teacher attests to the fact that you have been judged by your peers as one who is accomplished in your field.

- Strengthens teaching practice

- Increases financial opportunities in some Michigan school districts
- Contributes to SCECH/certification renewal requirements
