CLEAR Communication SummaryCLEAR Communication Summary
National University employs National Board Certified Teachers to teach courses that require knowledge of the NB standards, evidence based inquiry process, and assessment of teaching and learning performances
The ten, one month courses in the degree program are carefully scheduled to parallel National Board timelines and requirements which benefits students who choose to be active NB candidates as they produce the portfolio during program of study
National University is separate from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, but clearly associated with the standards, tools, resources and assessments
National University does NOT certify students as NBCTs
National University will assist and support active NB candidates who want to submit a portfolio or TAKE ONE to the NBPTS for scoring
