National Board Certification is a symbol of professional teaching excellence. A certificate will attest that a teacher was judged by his or her peers as one who is accomplished, makes sound professional judgments about students' best interests and acts effectively on those judgments. Offered on a voluntary basis, National Board Certification complements -but does not replace- state licensing.
National Board Certification is offered in 24 different certificate areas across 7 developmental age groups, covering more than 95% of preK-12 education.
This map is a snap shot of the number of NBCTs in the states as of As of December 2009. There are also NBCTs in the Armed Forces and abroad.
