Abstract | This study examined the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification process, investigating 65 white and African American teachers from North Carolina, Ohio, and the District of Columbia who had sought National Board certification in one of two areas--early adolescence/English language Arts and middle childhood/generalist. Of the 65 teachers, 31 achieved certification. Their certification scores fell into one of four groups: well above or below the performance standard or just slightly above or below the performance standard. Researchers observed the teachers, interviewed teachers and their students, administered student surveys, and collected students' written responses to a statement. All 65 teachers demonstrated laudable teaching skills, but National Board certified teachers outperformed non-certified teachers on all 13 generally recognized measures of good teaching. Differences were dramatic in 11 areas. Certified teachers were better at improvising when faced with the unexpected, understanding why students succeeded or failed on specific tasks, engaging students without overwhelming them, and anticipating difficulties students might have with new concepts. Students of certified teachers demonstrated a deeper understanding of the concepts they were taught than did students of non-certified teachers. (SM) |
