Why Become a National Board Certified Teacher?

National Board for Professional Teaching Standards was developed as the "gold standard" certification for educators. National Board Certified candidates learn the value of reflection and instructional practice on their journey to becoming a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT).

Alabama offers a financial incentive of $5,000 per year if a teacher's NB certificate is maintained. Certificates are renewed every five years. Scholarship opportunities are available to pay for the component fees (currently $475 per component). Alabama has also enacted legislation to provide an additional $5,000 per year for NBCTs at identified at-risk schools and who hold certain NB certificates.
