South Carolina Teachers Received Visits from Representatives of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards

12/20/2019

​Teachers in two South Carolina districts received special recognition on Thursday, December 19th. Earlier this year the School District 5 of Lexington and Richland Counties, Abbeville County School District, and Florence 5 School District were recognized as National Board Accomplished Districts. More than 30% of the teaching faculty in District 5 are National Board Certified Teachers. NBCTs make up at least 20% of the faculty in the other two districts. This week Sumter School District was also added as an accomplished district after being nominated by the South Carolina National Board Network because of their initiatives to support candidates seeking certification and embedding the Body of Knowledge into the professional development offered to induction teachers.
 
Two representatives from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards came to South Carolina to personally visit two of the districts. National Board’s Senior Manager Laura Benedetto and Policy Manager Sarah Pinsky along with CERRA staff, Jenna Hallman and Suzanne Koty, a representative from the South Carolina National Board Network, Toni Chewning, and the district’s own National Board liaison, Sara Kearns, visited all of the newly named NBCTS in the District 5. The team visited a total of 9 schools to recognize 17 teachers who just received their scores to discover that they were joining their many colleagues as National Board Certified Teachers. Each teacher received a poster to display in the school that signifies their accomplishment as well as some other goodies from National Board and from the network. The team then travelled over to Sumter where Craig King of the network joined them to recognize all of the NBCTs and candidates in Sumter School District. In addition to their poster and gifts, the district’s superintendent also pinned each newly named NBCT. 
 
Each teacher is congratulated on reaching the most rigorous level of certification a teacher can receive. National Board Certified Teachers make up only 3% of the teaching force nationwide. It is a reflective process that teachers often say changes the way they approach teaching. Congratulations are also extended to each of these deserving districts for recognizing the important role NBCTs play in impacting their organizations and the students they serve.
