National Board Summer Workshop
This Workshop is highly recommended for all teachers considering or seeking certification. The workshop allows teachers to consider how their practice aligns with the National Board’s standards and introduces the process, standards, and components. Come learn and join the certification journey!
This course is a precursor to the National Board Certification process. It provides information about the process that will help you decide when and how to register with the National Board and our candidate support program. You do NOT have to be registered with the National Board to take this class.
National Board Certification Google Classroom(s)
- Our Google Classroom includes voice-over presentations and additional supporting materials about the National Board process and our available candidate support.
- There are two identical courses available. One is for K-12 Mississippi teachers. The other is an overflow course for Mississippi teachers and is also available to any teacher across the US interested in pursuing National Board Certification.
- This course is not for current MS candidates. Current candidates can access all the information in WCTP 601.
- This course is FREE! These are hard times, and the WCTP wishes to do its part to help teachers.
