Credential Programs
January 2023
Welcome 2023! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday, taking time to rest and refresh. I have been reviewing your Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) and will continue to do so this month. I appreciate and look forward to reading about your progress with your students. Returning after a break is a great opportunity to reconnect and reestablish routines. As we continue to move through the school year take time to reflect on your practice. Please focus on the positive and know that you make a difference in the lives of your students.

Thank you,
Karla Paul

National Board Certification Incentive and Subsidy Program
The Budget Act of 2021 has reestablished the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) Certification Program. This program awards $25,000 for a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) who agrees to teach for five years at a high priority school. There is also a $5,000 subsidy program for any teacher who initiates the process of pursuing a certification. Although this incentive program is not retroactive, current NBCTs who work at a high priority school are eligible to receive the award. For more information on the NBPTS program, eligibility and the application process, please visit the CDE web page.
