The National University National Board Leadership Center will be hosting two information webinars on
"National Board Certification in 2015-2016: Options, Timelines, and Free Support." The free
information webinars provide an introduction to the National Board Certification process, a master's
degree program that integrates the process into the coursework and thesis, and the free online and
onsite support offered to all National Board candidates.
The NU NB Leadership Center makes its online candidate resources and candidate support webinars
(visit our <http://www.nbctwave.org/professional-support-series.html> Professional Support
Series<http://www.nbctwave.org/professional-support-series.html> page to view our listing of
candidate support webinars) available to any National Board candidate in the country who joins our free
<http://www.nbctwave.org/nbct-edge.html> NBCT-EDGE Alliance<http://www.nbctwave.org/nbctedge.html>, whether or not they are master's students. There are even a limited number of coaches
available, on a first-come, first-served basis. But by far our best support option comes via our Master of
Arts in Teaching with a National Board Specialization. This degree program integrates the certification
process into five of the ten master's courses so that the assignments entail the development of
components for certification. The candidate's National Board components serve as the thesis for the
degree. It is not only an excellent way to receive ongoing support in the process and keep oneself on
track for completion, but it provides candidates an opportunity to complete two major goals at the same
time.
If you are considering National Board candidacy, these webinars are a can't miss opportunity! We have
a session taking place on Thursday, September 10, and another on Tuesday, September 15. If you are
unable to attend the live session, you can register to request have a video archive of the session emailed
directly to you.
