Designed for individuals who are currently teaching in a classroom setting. Teachers are introduced to the mission, goals, and processes of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. At the same time they explore and determine their levels of interest in seeking National Board Certification. While the course encourages teachers to seek National Board Certification, it also serves as an opportunity for teachers to critically consider strategies to improve their teaching and to impact student learning. Teachers investigate and demonstrate "best teaching practices" across their specific curricula and grade level (K-12) through use of professional journals and reference materials, production of a professional reading report, designing and executing a content improvement plan, videotaping a lesson, implementing new differentiated instructional strategies, and creating an essay about the videotaped lesson with learning strategy implementation using descriptive, analytical and reflective writing. Pass/fail grading. Offered fall, spring, and summer semesters.
