An additional 27 teachers recently earned National Board Certification, bringing the total to 151 throughout Fayette County Public Schools. 

This certification, which generally takes one to three years to complete, is a demonstration of a teacher’s practice as measured against high and rigorous standards. Offered on a voluntary basis and valid for 10 years, the advanced system complements but does not replace state licensing.

To be considered for certification, teachers are assessed on portfolio entries containing videos reflecting their teaching style, student learning products and other teaching materials. This provides details of how the teachers work and connect with students in the classroom. Candidates for certification are also tested on their knowledge specific to their field.
