​National Board Toolkit

NBCT Toolkit Overview

The materials on this page are not designed for candidates seeking National Board Certification. They are intended for Professional Learning Facilitators and NBCTs who are supporting others in their National Board journey.

Awareness and MOC Presentations

The National Board Awareness PowerPoint should be used to provide potential candidates with an overview of the National Board process. The MOC Powerpoint should be used to support NBCTs who are seeking to maintain their certification. The workshops are designed to last about an hour. 

Journaling

Candidate support providers have the option of asking candidates to keep a journal of the workshops they attend. Each activity includes processing questions that could be used as journaling activities during the workshop or as a take-away from the workshop.

As candidates grow through the process, the journal will serve as important documentation of their growth. It will also be an important reference for candidates following workshops when they are working independently.

Note Regarding Candidate Support: Candidate support providers are reminded to adhere to the ethical standards and guidelines established by National Board and CERRA. This toolkit is meant to preserve the quality of support candidates are provided, as well as guide candidate support providers to providing support that is beneficial and in the best interest of all parties.
