This grant will support the recruitment and retention of minority teachers in Mississippi and increase the number of Board Certified teachers in Mississippi.
for a study of the intersection of deeper learning and teacher certificate standards of practice
The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) was created in 1987 to develop standards of accomplished practice for pre K-12 educators and a process that reliably assesses when a teacher has met those standards. With Hewlett Foundation support, NBPTS will compare its standards with deeper learning competencies to determine whether NBPTS’s teacher support materials could be a conduit for moving knowledge of the competencies into the teaching workforce in a systemic and sustainable way.
