Dysart Celebrates Three New National Board Certified Teachers
February 8, 2021|
National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) in Arizona.
Kelly Gragg (Surprise Elementary School),
Jesica Roehm (Surprise Elementary School), and
Jean Vogel (Asante Preparatory Academy) all earned the certification in December, bringing the total count of NBCTs in Dysart to 54.
National Board Certification is the highest certificate an educator can achieve in the United States. Administered by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, Board certification is a rigorous and reflective process that requires teachers to showcase the National Board Standards in their practice.
Teachers often take up to three years of continual work to achieve certification. Research shows that students of NBCTs have improved learning outcomes, and only 3% of teachers nationwide achieve this certification.
