National Board Certified Teachers
National Board Certification provides an option for experienced teachers to demonstrate the highest level of accomplishment in their profession, through an exciting and rewarding professional portfolio process. National Board Certification is a nationally accepted sign of quality in the field of education and offers a nationwide standard for evaluating and encouraging quality teaching. Increasingly, both nationally and in Montana, lawmakers, school districts, and parents are urging policies that encourage teachers to pursue National Board Certification because they recognize the power that certification has to transform teaching and improve schools.
Billings Public Schools is honored to employ 23 National Board Certified Teachers. We are proud of these dedicated educators and recognize each individual for their hard work. More information can be found at the NBCT website here.
