Standards
National Board Standards define what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do in 25 certificate areas covering 16 different subject areas and four developmental levels. Working with these standards helps educators define what good practice is and help identify the elements in teaching that define accomplished teaching.
What Teachers Should Know and Be Able to Do articulates the National Board’s Five Core Propositions for teaching. The Five Core Propositions — comparable to medicine’s Hippocratic Oath — set forth the profession’s vision for accomplished teaching.
