National Board has gone digital!

I know that you received the information below in an email from National Board. 

We’re writing with exciting news! Beginning with the 2012-2013 candidate cycle, the National Board will be implementing an electronic portfolio submission process, known as ePortfolio. ePortfolio simplifies and enhances the way candidates can compile and submit material for scoring.

Benefits include:

1. Extended deadlines for portfolio submission.

1. The chart below highlights the new deadlines.
2. A more efficient and secure delivery system
3. Elimination of shipping costs
4. The option to use classroom lessons from later in the school year
5. Reduced potential for packaging and formatting mistakes

7. Specialized technical support available to assist with the upload process
