Nine teachers across the Capital Region, including three Schenectady City School District educators, earned a highly-regarded national certification this year, the state Education Department announced Wednesday.
The educators, joining 51 other teachers statewide, earned the certification through the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards, the culmination of a lengthy process that includes written reflections, videotaped lessons and examples of how a teacher responds to student work. Within the education field, the certification is often referred to as the “gold standard” in teacher certifications.
“To achieve National Board certification in the midst of unprecedented challenges the coronavirus pandemic has brought is a testament to the dedication these teachers have to their students and their profession,” New York State United Teachers President Andy Pallott
