AISD Recognizes 23 Teachers for Earning National Certification

小黄鸭导航 ISD trustees recognized 23 teachers recently for earning the prestigious National Board Certified Teacher distinction awarded by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
 
AISD now has 217 National Board Certified teachers-more than any other school district in Texas. AISD also is one of the top 20 districts in the country in the number of National Board Certified teachers.  
 
The certification is one of the highest professional certifications teachers can earn. It involves a rigorous process that requires teachers to analyze and reflect on the instructional practices they employ in their classrooms.
 
This marks the 17th year that AISD, through its professional development department, has supported teachers seeking to earn National Board Certification. The district began participating in the program in 2000, when 10 AISD teachers earned National Board Certification.
 
AISD 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 national certification.
