The Region 10 ESC National Board Cohort (Track 1) will provide selected teacher candidates with support over two years with a 3rd-year option. Selected candidates will meet monthly with NBCT mentors to deeply analyze National Board certification requirements in preparation for the completion of portfolio and assessment entries. Candidates will delve into topics such as the 5 core propositions for accomplished teaching, the different types of writing required for national board submissions, how to successfully create teaching videos, and how to analyze student work. Candidates for this cohort will also have the opportunity to collaborate with other teacher candidates going through this process as well as NBCT mentors in their certification area. Self-reflection of teaching practices and peer review of entries will also be emphasized. Candidates are expected to submit at least two entries per year during the two-year support period.

The Region 10 ESC National Board Professional Learning Facilitator (PLF) Program-Hybrid Model (Track 2) pairs the selected district PLF with an NBCT mentor for one year. During this one-year commitment, the PLF and NBCT mentor will guide district cohort candidates through the national board certification process. Monthly meetings between the PLF and NBCT mentor will allow the PLF to learn about the national board requirements and certification process, how to prepare for candidate cohort meetings, and how to effectively lead such meetings. After the one-year commitment between the participating district and Region 10 has ended, the PLF will lead future cohorts. Upon successful completion of this program, the PLF will be designated as a “Region 10 Highly Qualified Professional Learning Facilitator.”
Applicants must complete and return applications per directions to be considered. If the recommended district facilitator is not selected for the program, the district will be eligible to reapply the following year.
