VEA National Board Candidate Support Cohort Program
2017-2018
VEA provides facilitated support for candidates going through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification process. Candidate support is optional for teachers completing their National Boards; however, teacher candidates who are part of a support program show a significantly higher passing rate.
As part of a cohort, candidates receive support, instruction, and feedback from their trained facilitators who are VEA colleagues. Examples include: “unpacking” the National Board component prompts, finding evidence of National Board standards, and ensuring alignment. To participate in the cohort, please complete the survey monkey found under “news flash” AND the registration form found under the documents tab above. Clock hours will be available.

And who is the largest advocate for public education? The Union!Read More
