NBPTS
National Board for Professional Teaching Standards
The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) is an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan and nongovernmental organization. It was formed in 1987 to advance the quality of teaching and learning by developing professional standards for accomplished teaching, creating a voluntary system to certify teachers who meet those standards and integrating certified teachers into educational reform efforts. NBPTS maintains high and rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do, provides a national voluntary system certifying teachers who meet these standards, and advocates for related education reforms to integrate National Board Certification in American education and to capitalize on the expertise of National Board Certified Teachers. Teacher candidates can learn more about NBPTS at www.nbpts.org/.
