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/ .
