NBPTS Chatboard – Teachers.Net

I'm not clear on how to format emails as evidence. The cohort in my division had mixed opinions and the helpline wasn't very forthcoming. I want to include multiple emails in the various forms as evidence and stick to page limits. Some people are taking screen shots of multiple emails and putting several emails all on one document but I'm not sure ...See More

Component 3 questions/edits

by Artie

Apr 2, 2017

Is it okay to go from one instructional setting to another without a clearly delineated transition? In other words, does the edit have to be CLEARLY a transition, or is it ok to show part of two separate instructional formats during one lesson? In other words, do you have to be doing a "countdown and everyone to the carpet" type thing and...See More

Meghan You can cut the video at any point to transition to another setting, you just have to explain why you made that edit in the document "Instructional Planning Form".

I certified this year and wondered if seeking NB is considered seeking professional development. IMO this was the best PD experience of my life.

MC GEN writing labels

by Dom

Apr 6, 2017

Can we include labels to "translate" student writing on the responses we submit???

Meghan To get the most accurate answer, I would call 22-TEACH, but I would just describe ("translate") what the students wrote in your commentary. I think the student work samples are just to provide a clearer picture to the assessors that your students did what you wrote about in your written commentary so there isn't a need to translate.

ENL-comp 2-early/middle level

by anniesbar

Apr 6, 2017

Hello! I sent an email to the Board about 3 weeks ago and have yet to hear back. When doing comp 2, the two students I focus on, do they need to be in the same small group (I pull small groups out of their classrooms) with the same unit, assessments, etc... OR can I use two students, different groups, different assessments, different unit of study?...See More

Component 1 Gen Ed Early Childhood

by Jacqueline Smith

Apr 6, 2017

Where can I find sample test questions? Study materials?

Artie I couldn't find any when I took it last year. The best advice is to do some research on early childhood play...that was the hardest part for me since I've only ever taught 1st and 2nd grade. I think I got a 2 or a little bit over that (which is a miracle since I just made everything up). The math was ok and so was the reading. The multiple choice q...See More

C2 ELA Student Packet file

by ralahorn

Apr 1, 2017

How do I submit the student packet as 1 file? I have multiple files. Plus, whenever I add more pages to the word document, it automatically copies the header and footer for National Board form which I don't want copied. How do I do this?

susan Can you save each as a PDF, then merge all the PDF's into one file? I hadn't gotten this far, but this is how I was thinking I would need to do it....

Please if I am mistaken, someone feel free to correct me.

Teach4Lyfe I answered this just today. Choose a general question such as "What supports does student need to ____" Using a general question gives you the ability to write a detailed answer. If you choose a narrow question, it limits you.
