Paradise Valley Unified School District issued the following announcement on Feb. 4.
Did you know that National Board Certification is the highest certificate an educator can achieve? It's true! And PVSchools is proud to say that five of our very own teachers have just reached this distinction, and another four teachers have renewed their credentials. They are now among an elite group of educators who have earned this prestigious honor.
Joining the 3 percent of the teaching population who earned National Board Certification are Pamela Fulk, Sunrise Middle School; Miriam Schantz-Marion, Eagle Ridge Elementary School; Kelly Romm, Grayhawk Elementary School; John Trenton, Pinnacle High School; and Reagen Winters, Boulder Creek Elementary School.
Since the NBCT credentials need to be renewed every few years, PVSchools had several teachers complete the National Board's Maintenance of Certification (MOC) process. The educators who have completed the process are Rachel Cohen, Larkspur Elementary School; Heather Fleming, Quail Run Elementary School; Teresa Smith, Pinnacle High School; and LeAnna Wolkis Goldstein, Fireside Elementary School.
National Board Certification is the pinnacle of achievement for educators. The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards sets the highest standards for what makes an accomplished teacher. Earning your National Board Certification proves that you are among the best in your field. Becoming board certified is rigorous, but it is worth it to be part of this exclusive group.
If you are a teacher considering National Board Certification, it will be well worth your time and effort! Sign up for a pre-candidacy class at www.azk12.org to get started, or email nbinfo@pvschools.net for more information.
