Many school districts are supporting
teachers through the process for becoming a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT).
Below is a compilation of information gathered from district
surveys, statewide resources, and reports from teachers
and support providers. Much of this information is subject
to contract negotiations between districts and teachers'
unions, which may change from year to year. Please contact
your district for the most current information. If your
district is not listed below, it may still offer assistance.
Please send any updated information to Juliet Barbero at jbarbero@cde.ca.gov.
