1. NBPTS will release scores tomorrow to individual candidates through their My Profile accounts on www.nbpts.org. It is considered to be a private release only to these candidates. NC DPI will not have reports of the new candidates at that time.
2. I am anticipating PUBLIC score release to be after the Thanksgiving holiday (but that's not official). At that time, I will be provided the names of the new NBCTs, the total number of new NBCTs and other data reports. I will send to the Salary and the Licensure Divisions at NCDPI this list as soon as I get it.
3. For verification of renewal credits towards the SP2 license, please ask candidates, whether they certified or not, to provide you a copy of their score report from NBPTS.
4. The retake application is live https://nbpts.dpi.state.nc.us/retake/retake_login.asp. NC has funds to support 2,000 retake applications on a first come, first served basis. Please remind any unsuccessful candidates that NBPTS is a three year process and to continue on the journey.

Scores Released on Friday, November 19, 2010
Scores will be released tomorrow!!!! I know this is a very anxious time....just remember....I am there for you and no matter what the results....you should be proud of your accomplishments!!!
Some things to remember:
The National Board Certification is a growth process which can take up to three years to achieve.
The 2009-2010 North Carolina Promissory Note requires all candidates to complete the assessment process during the first year (receive 10 scores on the score report from NBPTS) and to teach for one full year (10 months) following their candidacy.
Candidates who complete the process (receive a score for all 10 areas of the assessment) will receive 15 CEUs whether they certify or not.
It is important for Advanced Candidates to utilize the "Evaluation Feedback" before making their retake decisions.
Candidates who do not achieve the first year, may retake any of the portfolio entries or assessment center areas which are recommended by the National Board. Each retake entry will cost $350 to complete.
North Carolina has federal subsidy funding which may be used to pay for one retake ($350.00).
Federal Subsidy funding is available to all eligible Advanced Candidates on a first come first served basis. More information about the retake funding process and the application can be found at http://www.nbpts.org/help_and_faqs/apply/retake_candidate_applica and http://dpi.state.nc.us/recruitment/nationalboardcertification/retake/ .
Advanced Candidate support events can be located at http://dpi.state.nc.us/recruitment/nationalboardcertification/opportunities/ .

Updates made in the Early Childhood and Middle Childhood Generalist Portfolios
I want to let you all know so that you can communicate to your fellow Candidate Support Providers the upcoming changes to the Early Childhood (EC) and Middle Childhood (MC) Generalist Portfolio Entry 3 directions. Before the end of this week NBPTS will begin distributing this information to candidates in those certificate areas. In our ongoing efforts to improve candidate information, we have made these directions clearer without changing the scope of the portfolio by :
· Referencing “unifying concepts and processes in science” instead of “big ideas in science;”
·Integrating the stand alone section of the EC and MC Generalist portfolio directions that addresses unifying concepts and processes in science (currently titled “Big Ideas in Science”) into the Portfolio Entry 3 directions;
· Linking terminology used in the NBPTS Standards, the portfolio directions, and the National Science Education Standards;
·Using more consistent language in relating to the unifying concepts and processes and examples; and
·Providing more detailed guidance and developmentally appropriate examples in the Early Childhood Generalist directions.
These revised portfolio instructions will be provided to candidates who have already received their portfolio materials, as well as those who will be receiving their materials in the near future.

Congratulations to our 2010 Renewed NBCT's
The 2009-2010 certification renewal decisions have been finalized. The renewal decision letters were mailed today via first class mail. NBCTs who are awaiting their renewal decision should allow 7-10 business days for delivery, after which they can call 1-800-22TEACH or submit an online inquiry using the form accessible at www.nbpts.org/inquiry. An email blast will be sent to the renewal candidates to share news of this mailing and updates will be posted on the North Carolina DPI website soon.
