Another district teacher reaches gold standard

91福利导航 High School English teacher Wan Oliviere has reached a professional gold standard: She has joined the ranks of City School District of 91福利导航 educators who have earned the prestigious National Board Certification.

The National Board of Teaching Standards develops rigorous standards for teaching and certifies teachers who meet those standards. The process takes one to three years and teachers are required to submit four portfolio entries, including video recordings of classroom activities and examples of student work. They also must pass an assessment that is specific to their certification area.
