Teachers who have completed three years of teaching and are striving to further their growth may want to consider working toward National Board Certification — a designation that not only would bring them to the city’s second salary differential, but also would put them among the nation’s most accomplished teachers. This certification is evidence that you have reached a level of excellence in your field based on rigorous standards.
The UFT Teacher Center offers a pre-candidacy course to help participants prepare for this rigorous process, as well as ongoing support throughout the program. Learn more about the support offered for UFT members pursuing National Board Certification.
