National Board Certification is a voluntary process for teachers who want to measure their teaching practice against the set of core propositions and teaching standards developed by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Teachers describe, analyze, and reflect on their practice by providing evidence of their accomplished teaching through student work samples and videos. They also take a series of assessment exercises designed to measure their depth of knowledge about the subjects they teach. WHAT WORKS! provides a roadmap for National Board candidates by guiding them as they work through each of the four entries to be submitted. The chapters contain dozens of tips on "What Works!" and "Why These Work!." The tips are practical, specific, and written in a conversational style that is easy to read. WHAT WORKS! will guide candidates through the maze of requirements and prompts found in the four portfolio entries and help them prepare for the Assessment Center Exercises. WHAT WORKS! is designed to be the go-to handbook for candidates in any certification area.
