SELF-GUIDED SUPPORT WORKBOOK
Available Now!!
www.uncw.edu/ed/nbct (for order form)

Since 2001, the UNCW Watson School of Education has supported National Board candidates at all stages of the journey, from pre-candidacy through the initial candidate process and into more advanced stages of candidacy, including certificate renewal. During this time, the participants in the Watson School program have provided overwhelming positive feedback on their growth as both candidates and teachers as a result of the support offered. This workbook, based on the UNCW Watson School of Education support program, provides meaningful, self-paced support to those candidates who are not involved in candidate support or who prefer to work individually. The steps in the book are not specific to one certificate area, but guide the thinking and growth of candidates in areas that are pertinent to all content and development certificates. The Watson School has served over 1,000 candidates from several states and dozens of school systems, and the strategies highlighted in this self-paced guide have been found to be universally beneficial.
