The Watson School of Education is proud to announce 98 new National Board Certified Teachers in our partnership districts. Official scores for the 2005-2006 school year were publicly released January 9, 2007. Since 2001, we have provided reliable and meaningful support to career teachers who pursue this important personal and professional development process. The WSE National Board Support Program provides opportunities for local teachers to be supported prior to candidacy, during initial candidacy, during advanced candidacy, and through the renewal of their certificate.
The value of the program is reflected by our participant certification rates and distance traveled in order to participate. Participants of our program, both initial and retake candidates, are successful in obtaining certification. We also have participants who regularly attend monthly sessions from school systems as far away as Gaston, Alamance, and Pasquotank Counties. Yearly, over 100 teachers participate in various forms of electronic and face-to-face support through this program. We are pleased to be able to offer this program to you.
