Trustees recognized 24 new National Board Certified teachers during the board's meeting April 25. 

Certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards is one of the highest professional certifications teachers can obtain. These AISD teachers have achieved certification through the rigorous process, which requires teachers to analyze and reflect on their practices in the classroom. 

The district has a long history of supporting teachers in achieving National Board Certification, with the first cohort of 10 teachers earning their certification in 2000. Ð¡»ÆѼµ¼º½ ISD has the distinction of having more National Board Certified teachers than any other district in Texas.

As part of AISD's commitment to the certification process, the district covers the costs of the four certification modules, pairs teachers with peer mentors who offer advice, support, training and coaching, and provides an annual $2,000 stipend to teachers who achieve the certification.
