The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) has extended the deadline for the 2011-2012 cycle (initial candidates) until January 18th. You can apply at www.nbpts.org. In SC, NBCTS who applied after July 1, 2010 receive a $5000 annual supplement for no longer than the ten years of the NB certificate. The total cost to go through the process in $2565 but we have funds available to help offset the cost. Candidates who are teaching in a SC public school may be eligible for both the Friends of SC scholarship funds ($750) and Federal Subsidy grant funds ($1250). This means you are only paying $565 out of pocket! Please visit http://www.cerra.org/teacherLeaders/nationalBoard/#.Twb9DtRPt2B for more information or email me at hallmanj@cerra.org.
National Board certification was the best professional development of my career! I strongly encourage you to look into this process.
