National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS)
91´«Ã½
NBPTS is an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan and nongovernmental organization. It was formed in 1987 to advance the quality of teaching and learning by developing professional standards for accomplished teaching, creating a voluntary system to certify teachers who meet those standards and integrating certified teachers into educational reform efforts.
The Early Childhood through Young Adulthood / Library Media certificate is appropriate for school librarians who teach students ages 3-18+ and who know the range of information literacy, instructional collaboration, and the integration of technology.
Also available on the NBPTS website is an introduction to and for the NBPTS certificate.
