National Board Toolkit

​National Board Toolkit

NBCT Toolkit Overview

The National Board Certification Toolkit consists of materials designed to support candidates throughout their National Board journey. CERRA continuously updates these materials. Professional Learning Facilitators (PLFs) and other NBCTs who are supporting candidates are encouraged to check this page before making any presentations.

The Toolkit materials are organized around the four Components of the National Board process. Each workshop can stand alone and workshops may be conducted in any sequence to meet the needs of the candidates. Candidate support providers may present each workshop over several sessions or may select to conduct only those portions of the workshop relevant to the needs of the Candidates at that time.

It is important to note, National Board materials are not included as part of the workshops, but serve as an important resource for candidates. The materials National Board provides may change or be adaptive. In an effort to provide candidates the most current version of National Board materials, we highly suggest candidate support providers demonstrate how to access these materials.​

Awareness

The National Board Awareness PowerPoint should be used to provide potential candidates with an overview of the National Board process. The workshop is designed to last about an hour.
Download Awareness Powerpoint

Maintenance of Certification (MOC)

The National Board Maintenance of Certification (MOC) PowerPoint should be used to provide NBCTs with an overview of the MOC process. The workshop is designed to last about an hour.
Download MOC PowerPoint.

Component One

​Content Knowledge is a computer-based assessment focused on the demonstration of certificate specific content knowledge and pedagogical practices. Component One is assessed through the completion of three constructed response exercises and approximately 45 selected response items. The PowerPoint, activities, and handouts found below can be used to support candidates as they prepare for Component One. ​

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.

Materials for Facilitators Only
