| About our Candidate Support Our program support to you as a candidate includes:
The mission of the CPS NBC Program is to provide Chicago public school candidates with the resources and guidance necessary to successfully complete the NBC process through professional development, mentoring and cohort groups. All CPS teachers interested in earning NBC must attend a two-day, pre-candidacy course. Pre-candidacy sessions are intended to give teachers a head start on the NBC process before they officially enroll as candidates. Teachers work with facilitators (NBC Teachers) who have been trained in mentoring. Such collaboration helps generate useable materials, writings, and ideas that may be applied toward the actual NBPTS portfolio. Upon acceptance into the program, candidates will attend monthly professional development sessions and weekly cohort meetings to aid in the development and completion of the portfolio and assessment center exercises for the NBC process. NBC Resource Centers have been opened in four geographically diverse locations in Chicago: the Talcott Fine Arts and Museum Academy, Chicago State University, Stockton Specialist School, and National Teachers Academy. At these centers, candidates may access professional lending libraries, printing resources, computer labs, technology and equipment lending programs, and writing instructors. It is the intention of CPS NBC Program to heighten teacher quality and thereby positively impact the quality of instruction in our district. National Board Certification is a proven means by which we can positively affect student learning. We challenge all CPS teachers to pursue this challenging and rewarding path. |
