Like board-certified doctors and
accountants, teachers who achieve National Board
Certification have met rigorous standards through intensive
study, expert evaluation, self-assessment and peer review.
National Board Certification is a voluntary assessment
program designed to recognize and reward accomplished
teachers. While state licensing systems set basic
requirements to teach in each state, NBCTs have successfully
demonstrated advanced teaching knowledge, skills and
practices. Certification is achieved through a rigorous,
performance-based assessment that typically takes one to
three years to complete.
Generalist/Middle Childhood
This certificate is appropriate for teachers who teach
students ages 7-12 and who know the range of the
middle-grades curriculum: language arts, mathematics,
science, social studies and history, the arts and health.
Some generalists are assigned to teach a single subject,
while others are assigned multiple subjects (e.g.,
humanities teachers or mathematics/science teachers). Some
focus on interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary lessons,
while others may use such curricular approaches only
occasionally. All generalists, without regard to their
assignment, practice in a manner designed to advance student
learning in two or more subjects.
