    NB process highlights: 
    •  All four components must be attempted in the first three years of candidacy.   Those teachers or counselors who begin the process during the 2019-2020 year may choose to complete the components one at a time, or complete all components during that year.
    • National Board will now charge $475 per component for a total of $1900.  Additionally, National Board will charge an annual processing fee of $75.  North Carolina will continue the loan process for eligible candidates. Please know, last year the loan funding ran out.  The sooner you apply, the better!

    • The NB Standards, the Five Core propositions, and the Architecture of Accomplished Teaching will not change.  NB Certification remains performance-based and peer-reviews, with the same emphasis on content knowledge and commitment to student learning.
