Board of Regents offers national board certification pre-candidate course

A 3-credit graduate course will be offered by all five public universities that have teacher education programs for practicing teachers who are interested in pursuing certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.  The course has been developed as a pre-candidate course for teachers interested in pursuing national board certification as well as a course for personal professional development. In conjunction with South Dakota’s Teacher Quality Enhancement Grant, EveryTeacher, and the high quality professional development requirements of Title II, Part A of No Child Left Behind, faculty of the Board of Regents have developed EDFN 790 Seminar: Enhancing Professional Practice while Exploring National Board Certification.

Experienced classroom teachers will use the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification process as a vehicle to examine their practice and to direct further professional growth.  Teachers will have opportunities to practice analyzing student work, to develop sample portfolio entries, and to experience formative assessment exercises for the standards of their content certification area. A minimum of 2 years of teaching experience is strongly recommended. (3 credits)
