Another Richland One Teacher Earns National Board Certification; 18 Teachers Receive Five-Year Certification Extension

Another Richland One teacher has earned the gold standard of the teaching profession – National Board Certification.

Andrea E. Puckett of Brockman Elementary School joins 168 others in the district as National Board-Certified Teachers (NBCT).

Created for teachers by teachers, the certification is the public assurance of the most impactful teaching outcomes. Those who receive the distinction complete and pass a computer-based assessment and complete three portfolio components: Differentiation in Instruction; Teaching Practice and Learning Environment; and Effective and Reflective Practitioner.

The certification is designed to incentivize the educational enhancement efforts of teachers in hopes of developing and retaining them.

In addition to the newest NBCT, 18 Richland One teachers earned the National Board’s Maintenance of Certification (MOC), which is a five-year extension from their current certificate’s expiration date. MOC ensures teachers are current on the knowledge and best practices in their certificate areas.
