NBPTS Chatboard – Teachers.Net

I'm working on component 2 for EA Science. I know that I need to show progress towards the unit goals and differentiation. With my unit, I always start with a pre- assessment writing prompt to find out what students already know about adaptations and extinction. Can I reference the response the student gave without using it as one of my pieces of s...See More

Hello! I've been trying to find other teachers in my cert area that will completing component 1 this year. Is there anyone on this site studying in this area? Or could someone guide me to a help site where I could talk with other Health educators?

Much appreciated!

What Works Hi Kari,

I think you're in a certificate area with a very small number of candidates. I hope you find someone, but until you do, please post your questions here.

There are also some FB pages for teachers in any certificate area. If you do FB, type National Board Certification in the search bar and several should pop up. Maybe yo...See More

Hi : I am a National Board Certified Teacher. I have a friend that is going through the process in Baltimore Maryland. She wants to be able to allow other National Board Teachers to review her entries & critique them. Please email me, if you are aware of a study group that is open-minded, flexible in helping another teacher achieve her goal. Pl...See More

What Works Hello Sheila,

How nice that you want to help your friend. I will give you the names of a few places she might look, but I do want to caution her to be VERY CAREFUL who she shares with. We don't want to think that teachers would ever cheat or steal, but it has happened.

If she shared with someone who then used part of her work - a...See More

EC Generalist Component 3

So, my coworker and I are both working on National Boards. I know that for Component 3 we need to do 2 units in either Science, Math, or Social Studies. These can be whole group or small group. She said that our units need to combine two out of the three content areas. Is this true? I was going to do a science unit and a math unit. Please help! :o(
