Has anyone on here looked at component 2 for CTE yet?

What Works I'm not a CTE candidate or a CTE NBCT, but I've supported candidates in this certificate area. Is there something in particular you want to know or are you just looking for others also doing this certificate? If you have specific questions, post them and maybe I can help. CTE candidates are small in number...but I hope someone in the area will resp...See More

What Works There are no more boxes. As the previous response says, it's all online on the NB website. Go to [link removed]!

What Works It always helps to tell what certificate area you're working on because although all Component 1s have the same structure, the content and types of exercises differ somewhat.

So, what is confusing you? Can you explain more specifically? Have you found the sample exercises that model what your test will look like? If not, go to the NB homep...See More

Renewal video- small group?

by Claire

Nov 1, 2016

When I did National Boards the first time I was a second grade teacher so my certificate area is Early Childhood/Generalist. Now I currently serve as a reading interventionist for Kindergarten-5th grade students. When I video my lesson is it ok to use a small group of first or second grade students for the lesson? Or do I need to work with a whole ...See More

What Works The directions do not specifically name a required number of students, so this leads me to think that a small group is ok. However, to be sure, I'd call 1-800-22TEACH and ask. Good Luck!

This may be a silly question...Is it possible to pass each of the four components, but not become national board certified?

I don't think National Board has set the score we need to pass. SO - can't even answer the question. Just think if this was our students - they have no idea what a passing score is. Re...See More

Denetta While I haven't read the part of scoring guide that you mention, I did score component 3 last summer. My scoring supervisor stated that candidates had to make 1.75 or better on each component to certify. I am not an authority, I'm just passing along a tidbit that I was told. Good luck everyone.

What Works Greetings ENS candidates,

Formulating your question is important because it provides the basis for almost all your writing. Just so you know, there is a good ENS group on yahoo that might be a good resource for you.

Candidates and NBCTs alike,

You are eligible to receive graduate credit for the work you complete for the National Board Certification process. These credits are for the WORK - not tied to any score. If you certified years ago - or if you attempted and did not certify yet - credits are available. Let me know if you have questions.

Kelly M Hi Sonja,

Sorry this post has sat here for so long. I must have missed it!

Most people enrolled in grad programs use these credits as electives. Your particular university may accept them as something else. Sorry I don't have more specific info for you!
