Vicki,
National Bd. Certification is a year long process during which one completes
a portfolio of work composed of written reflections of one's teaching and
also includes 2 videos and a photo storyboard of classroom work with students.
There is a also a test given at a designated testing center in your city. All
work is reviewed and scored by teachers trained as assessors by National
Boards.
For more information, check their website www.nbpts.org . Email me if I can
be of any further help. If you're thinking of doing this this year, you would
need to act immediately, as most folks have already begun the process for the
current year.
