NBC Teachers Title

The SCCOE encourages Santa Clara County teachers to seek National Board Certification ® through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). The NBTS is an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization whose mission is to advance the quality of teaching and learning. To do this, it has:

  • established high standards for what teachers should know and be able to accomplish.
  • created a system to certify teachers who meet these standards.

Gaining certification through the NBPTS is a voluntary process open to teachers with a baccalaureate degree and three years of classroom experience. Through this effort, teachers may achieve distinction while strengthening their content knowledge and mastering new approaches to classroom instruction.

To help Santa Clara County teachers with the NBPTS certification process, the SCCOE provides various forms of assistance, including National Board Orientations. We congratulate those who have already been successful, and will do all we can to ensure that the list of Santa Clara County’s NBPTS certified teachers continues to grow.

For more information, contact Martha Martinez.
