National Board Maintenance of Certification Support Kickoff
Set the stage for continuing your National Board Certification with this time dedicated to Maintenance of Certification (MOC) work.
At the National Board MOC Support Kickoff, you will connect with an MOC small group designed to guide you through the National Board MOC process with coaching and mentoring support from National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) and collaboration with other MOC candidates. An NBCT specifically trained to support candidates will facilitate your MOC small group for the remainder of the year. They will be prepared to support you with an analytical review of your MOC components and conversation about your individual practices, as they relate to the requirements established by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS).
This opportunity allows MOC candidates to establish relationships with one another and space to work solo, one-on-one, and/or in small groups.
Candidates participating in this National Board MOC Kickoff should bring:
- NBPTS Profile of Professional Growth instructions.
- NBPTS Standards for your chosen certificate area (The standards for your certificate area may have been revised since your initial certification.)
- Any written commentary.
- Evidence: student work samples, teaching artifacts, videos, etc.
Participants will:
- Reflect on and complete individualized goals.
- Write commentary produced in collaborative and/or quiet environments.
- Identify new goals as a result of analytical reviews of National Board for Professional Teaching Standards components and coaching conversations with Board-certified teachers.
- Understand newly released components and information from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
