More conference information

Since 1999 the Arkansas Department of Education has made it possible for many Arkansas teachers to become National Board certified.  Upon receiving certification many educators ask, "What do I do now?"

The answer to this question is a new organization dedicated to National Board Certified teachers, candidates, facilitators and other education professionals interested in advancing accomplished teaching in our state.

The Arkansas Teachers for National Board Certification organization is committed to the achievement of all students in the state.  Our mission is to promote excellence in teaching through:

-   Advocacy of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) standards and certification process

-   Provision of an educational and support network for collaboration on research and accomplished practice

-   Opportunities for leadership in education
