Miami, Florida Nov 7, 2018 (Issuewire.com) - Coach Krishna Chandra Das, a Social Studies teacher at Coral Reef Senior High School in Miami Dade County, is one of 4,446 teachers across the United States to renew their certification as a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT).
The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards is excited to celebrate these teachers along with the more than 20,000 teachers currently pursuing Board certification – seen as the profession’s mark of accomplished teaching.
“National Board Certified Teachers have proven that they teach to the highest standards in the profession – and ten years later, they have put in the work to show their commitment to their practice and to their students. Research makes clear that their students are the true beneficiaries,” said Peggy Brookins, NBCT and President and CEO of the National Board.
The Miami-Dade County Public School District ranks 6th in the nation, with over 1,5024 NBCTs as of November 2017.
“With the able leadership and support of School Superintendent, Alberto M. Carvalho who has served as a driving force with regard to educational leadership that encourages the modernization of teaching and learning, I was well prepared to address the submission requirements for recertification. Together, with collegial support, and a National Board for Professional Teaching Standards that makes crystal clear, just what goes into shaping a professional educator of the highest magnitude, the way was paved for me to successfully achieve recertification and abundant professional growth in the process,” said Coach Chandra Das.
The National Board is at work across the country, helping set the expectation that all teachers should demonstrate accomplished teaching via National Board certification and become leaders in their schools and communities. Every child should have the opportunity to learn from an accomplished teacher.
