Event Information
SEA provides facilitated support for candidates going through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification process. Candidate support is optional for teachers completing their National Boards; however, teacher candidates who are part of a support program show a significantly higher passing rate.
As part of a cohort, candidates receive support, instruction, and feedback from their trained facilitators who are SEA colleagues. Examples include: “unpacking” the National Board component prompts, finding evidence of National Board standards, and ensuring alignment.

Candidates also learn about constructed response items and selected response items as they pertain to their specific certificate areas. Assessment ethics, procedures, appointments, and general overview are also included.Course Objectives
Participants should be able to understand the requirements of each component, including its scoring process. Participants will understand how the Assessment Center questions link to the National Board Standards. Participants may have supported time to work and apply the knowledge gained from facilitators and peers.
