Cohort Support for
National Board Candidates and NBCT's pursuing Maintenance of Certification (MOC)
Starting in the Fall of 2026
Participants will meet monthly to focus on required activities for their selected components in their National Board Certification area. Teachers choose which components to work on, examine their units of instruction, and which lesson plans best exemplify their skills as a teacher. Activities will be supported by a NB professional facilitator as participants navigate the process of becoming a Nationally Board Certified Teacher (NBCT). Teachers will work together as they strengthen their professional practice by sharing their development of descriptive, analytical, and reflective thinking, as they design a portfolio highlighting their decision making, student achievement, and professional growth.
This series of workshops is also appropriate for NBCTs that are seeking to maintain their certification (MOC). Come join colleagues from many districts, and become part of something that will change your teaching forever!

Strong Support Keeps Us Moving Forward!
Our National Board Certification programs are continuing because of their strong support from our Professional Learning Facilitators as well as the support of NYS Teacher Centers, NBPTS, NYSED, BOCES, local school districts and dedicated NBCTs.
The National Board Certification process has changed to be more flexible. Now there are only 4 components and you have up to 3 years to submit. We will be hosting Regional Awareness Sessions to update NBCTs, teachers, administrators and union leaders about these changes.
Most candidates participate in a NBC Support Group or Cohort. Cohorts are group of candidates pursuing board certification who are guided by a facilitator. Facilitators have extensive training to provide ethical support.
