Message from NB about Submission

Please see the information from NBPTS below:

With the submission window fast approaching, we are writing to share important reminders regarding the electronic portfolio submission process. The ePortfolio system will be available from April 1 to May 16, 2014. We encourage you to read the information below carefully and refer to http://www.nbpts.org/eportfolio for up-to-date information. 

Voucher Codes

To register and begin using the ePortfolio system, a voucher code(s) is required. We will begin emailing voucher codes on April 1. Due to the high number of vouchers being sent, it may take up to 24 hours to complete this process. Log in to your My Profile account and verify the email address we have on file for you is correct. Also, voucher codes will be emailed from NBPTSReg@pearson.com. Please add this address to your list of accepted email senders to ensure successful receipt of your voucher code(s).

Submission Window
The submission window is the timeframe in which the ePortfolio system will be available to you. On April 1and after receiving your voucher code(s), you can access the ePortfolio system from our website atwww.nbpts.org. Portfolio entries can be submitted at any time during this window; however, it is important you begin the upload process early since uploading your materials may take multiple days to complete, depending on how many entries you are submitting. All entries must be submitted through the ePortfolio system no later than May 16, 2014.

Change to Entry 4: Documented Accomplishments

If you are a first-time candidate or a retake candidate submitting entry 4, it is important to note there has been a change to the submission guidelines for this entry. You are now required to submit the Documented Accomplishments as two separate files (Description and Analysis in one file, Documentation in another). Please refer to the sample Submission at a Glance Chart in the Electronic Submission at a Glance for details.
