National Board Certification

Nationally Board Certified Teachers can teach anywhere, can teach anything, and can teach anywhere. Those were the sentiments shared by Dr. Will Parker, who gave us clarity and direction on what National Board Certification looks like.  

He layed out the five core propositions of an accomplished teacher. He detailed how having a student centered teaching style, and keeping the learner at the center of instruction is evidence of a highly successful teacher.

In addition, he delved into the psychology of humans and what our triggers are.Triggers are what we innately react to, without thinking.  He explained that you should never take your innate "triggers" into your classroom, because you cannot let your own personal judgements hold you back from teaching your students.

All in all, Dr. Parker motivated the Fellows, to reach for best in the art of educating, and to not let anything hold you back from the teaching of your students.
