  • The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards will run a new, 3-part webinar series in October to help prepare candidates interested in pursuing Board certification this school year. You are invited to attend three (30) minute webinars that will overview the following: 

     

    1. October 9 at 7 pm EST: Reflect, Set, Go: Mindset practices and considerations as you prepare for Board Certification

    2. October 16 at 7 pm EST: Determine Your Path to Certification-how to choose the order and timeline for your component choices

    3. October 30 at 7 pm EST: Utilizing Homeroom as a Resource-how to use our resource hub, Homeroom, as your guide through Board certification

     

    You will get ONE Zoom link for all three webinars; however, if you cannot make one, you will still receive the recording for all. 

     

    Please note that this series will not cover the entire Board certification process. If you are new to the process and would like that foundational information, please visit Homeroom at nbpts.org/homeroom  and review "Overview of National Board Certification" in Session 1, Step 1. Join us on October 30 to learn more about this helpful resource!

  • Transfer Credit Manager Directions to Enter CEUs for Approval

    Transfer Credit Manager (TCM) allows staff to request that credit for a course completed elsewhere be added to your NCEES My Transcript. Teachers, Support Staff and Principals can go to Transfer Credit Manager in NCEES and submit credit requests or re-submit requests that were denied. Please note that NCEES only recognizes certified (licensed) and active BCS staff.  Any course that was completed online in NCEES and Canvas does not need to be re-submitted, credits are auto-updated in the system. 

    The requestor is highly advised to keep the original CEU certificate for their records.

    • College or university courses
      • Official transcripts are required as documentation; grade reports are not accepted.
    • Local in-service courses or workshops
