National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to Create Advanced Principal Standards Committee

With the approved core propositions for educational leaders as the foundation, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards is moving forward with the development of standards for the advanced principal certification.

NBPTS is accepting applications from educators who wish to serve on a new standards committee for the development of accomplished principal standards.

The selection of committee members is an extensive process involving two levels of applicants: (1) Stakeholders and NBPTS Board Members are invited to submit nominees, who will receive an invitation by email requesting they apply using our electronic application; and (2) an open application is available online for any member of the public to apply.

National Board Certified Teachers throughout the nation recognize the importance of school-based leadership in creating a culture of learning and supporting accomplished teachers. Reports from a series of state and national summits on supporting and staffing high-need schools, attended by hundreds of NBCTs,  ranked school-building leadership among the most important factors in recruiting and retaining accomplished teachers and advancing student learning.

If you are interested in being considered for this opportunity, visit the NBPTS Application page to begin the application process. Applications must be completed by 5:00 p.m., EDT, May 30, 2009. For questions and/or additional information, contact nominations@nbpts.org.
