December 2009 Newsletter

The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) released national and state certification results for the new group of National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs).  Nationally, there are now over 82,000 NBCTs with the addition of 8,900 new NBCTs.

Here are some Washington-specific statistics that might be of interest to you:

--Washington certified 1248 new NBCTs this year, bringing our state total right to 3,964

--Nationally, Washington has 2nd highest number of new NBCTs

--NBCTs teaching in public schools get a $5,000 annual bonus; those teaching in high-needs schools (70% or higher free/reduced lunch) receive an additional $5,000 annual bonus

--50% of Washington's NBCTs teach in Title I schools; nationally, 42% of NBCTs teach in high-needs schools

--Washington has over 1,200 new candidates (the largest ever) in the 2009 candidate cycle (a 36% increase over last year)
