NBC for Teachers - Take One!TM
What is Take One!™?
Take One!™ is a unique offering from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards that provides a standards-based approach for improving teaching practice and links student learning to effective instruction. Participants prepare and submit one pre-selected video portfolio entry from any of the current certificate areas of National Board Certification. A participant can later transfer the score if he or she pursues National Board candidacy within the allotted time period.
Take One!™ improves teaching quality by providing educators with the opportunity to reflect on their own classroom instructional practices within the context of national teaching standards. Take One!™ allows all educators to "sample” National Board Certification—not only to improve their teaching practices within their classrooms and schools, but also to begin the path toward National Board candidacy, if they so choose.
