1Renewal of National Board Certification
2Becoming a renewal candidate is a testament to
your continued dedication to the highest
standards of the teaching profession.
3Thinking about Renewal
- NBCTs begin renewal in their 8th or 9th year of
their original certificate cycle. - NBCTs must renew BEFORE their original
certificate expires. - If original certificate expires the NBCT must
begin National Board Certification again with a
new portfolio and assessment exercises.
