How do teachers who decide to pursue candidacy find the resources and support they need?
Understanding how to demonstrate and document evidence for the portfolio often involves some study and guidance. The first task in deciding whether to undertake National Board certification is to understand the nature of this challenge. Once the decision to become a candidate is made, the next task is to know how to establish candidacy and finance it. A good third step is to locate like-minded professionals with whom to collaborate in the process. The Candidate Support Program at Stanford is one place to engage in that kind of collaboration.
