2010 National Board Pre-Candidacy Workshop Offerings

The UNCW Watson School of Education will be offering the 2010 National Board Pre-Candidacy Workshop on June 16-17, 2010. The registration deadline is June 7th. Registration information is attached.

This two-day professional development opportunity is designed for school personnel who are considering becoming National Board candidates or who are newly registered first-time candidates. The pre-candidacy sessions will help make connections between the individual’s current teaching and the new 21st Century Teaching Standards while preparing them to begin the National Board Certification process. Agenda items will include an overview of the National Board Certification process, the NBPTS Five Core Propositions as they align with the new 21st Century curriculum, defining ways to move towards National Board Certification in a 21st Century classroom, and a self examination of the candidate’s own teaching standards and practices.

If you need additional information, please contact the UNCW Teacher-in-Residence at (910) 962-7669 or email TIR@uncw.edu.
