In Quest of Excellence: National Board Certification
This power point presentation was developed by WestEd for a variety of presentations to advance National Board Certification. Some of the slides were created by WestEd staff, some by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, and some by the California Department of Education. WestEd staff typically tailors the presentation according to the needs of individual groups. National Board support providers are free to use and/or adapt the presentation for their own work, as long as WestEd and the other organizations are acknowledged.
To edit and customize the presentation, click on the link to open the presentation.
Then right click (option click on MAC), select "edit slides," and save the document to your hard drive.
