National Board Certified Educators

National Board Certification is an advanced teaching credential that complements, but does not replace, an educator’s Professional Educator Certificate. It is one of the most respected professional certifications available in the field of education and provides many professional benefits to teachers, students and schools. National Board Certification is achieved upon successful completion of a voluntary assessment program designed to recognize accomplished teachers who meet high standards based on what teachers should know and be able to do.

Alabama is now ranked No. 7 in the nation with 3,116 National Board Certified Teachers. The Madison County School System currently has 86 National Board Certified Teachers.
