Retake Funding

This message is from Beth Edwards at DPI regarding retake funding for National Boards.

Retake applications will be available from November 16 through January 29, 2010. Please encourage NBC Advanced Candidates to apply for retake funding. Retake funding is limited; therefore the Department of Public Instruction will accept one application per candidate on a first come first served basis. Retake funding is provided by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards through a federal grant received from the U.S. Department of Education. Upon application review and approval, I (Beth Edwards) will contact each individual candidate through email. All eligible applications will be approved by January 31, 2010.
