The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards today released the names of Illinois’ 732 new
National Board Certified Teachers, including 302 from Chicago Public
Schools – the most newly certified teachers of any district in the
nation.
The announcement brings the total number of National Board Certified
Teachers serving in CPS to 1,310. Those who succeeded – about 40
percent of the candidates who applied – will be rewarded with a $1,750
pay raise from the district, as well as $3,000 a year from the state
during the 10-year life of their certificate.
Soon, administrators will be able to pursue a national certification,
as well. Chicago will host a pilot project that will offer national
certification to principals. Announced last week, the project may accept candidates as early as December 2011, says Joan Auchter,
chief program officer for the National Board of Professional Teaching
Standards.
The principal program will evaluate nine “core propositions,” or
characteristics, including skills like leadership, vision, management,
learner development, instruction, ethics, and advocacy, as well as
their ability to create a “culture of learning” and equitable learning
opportunities for all students. Down the line, a leadership credential
for teachers will include similar criteria.
But it isn’t yet clear how the principals will be scored on such
intangibles. The evaluations could include videos, evidence of teacher
effectiveness, student data, or other components, Auchter says. Field
testing to make sure the measures are reliable will likely begin in
July 2010. The Chicago Public Education Fund committed $1 million to
the program in fall 2008.
About 500 applicants are in the pipeline for teacher certification next
year. A number of them are teachers who failed to receive
certification this year, says Nancy Schwartz, the Midwest
regional outreach director for the National Board of Professional
Teaching Standards. She says the organization is trying to provide
specific feedback to rejected candidates, and encourage them to stay in
the process.
Here is a list of the 302 new National Board Certified Teachers in CPS. Certification lasts until Nov. 20, 2019.
