Program Description

The Office of Continuing Education, in cooperation with the College of Education and Professional Studies, offers a National Board Certification Mentoring program. The Mentoring Program is designed to prepare teachers for National Board portfolio preparation and assessment. Candidates attend a summer orientation session with the CWU National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) facilitator group at CWU-Ellensburg. The candidates then meet with their NBPTS facilitator a minimum of 10 times during the months between the summer Orientation session and the spring deadline for submission of the National Board Certification Portfolio. For more information on CWU's National Board Certification Mentoring program, please contact us.
