Mission Statement
 Since
1987, The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS)
has worked to support the professionalization of teaching and
the development of high standards as a venue for improving teacher
competency and increasing student learning. Bank Street College
will provide coaching seminars for NBPTS candidates. Accomplished
teachers who receive the NBPTS credential are encouraged to mentor
others seeking National Board certification. Bank Street College
is committed to working with National Board Certified Teachers
(NBCTs) and candidates to support the community of accomplished
teachers.
The NBPTS has established five core propositions that guide this
work:
- Teachers are committed to students and their learning.
- Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to teach those
subjects to students.
- Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student
learning.
- Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn
from experience.
- Teachers are members of learning communities.
