 * NBCT RENEWAL **

If you are in your eighth or ninth year as a National Board Certified teacher (NBCT), it is time to begin the NBCT renewal process. By renewing your certification, you can demonstrate that your professional practice remains consistent with the high and rigorous standards for your subject area.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">When you renew, you:
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Maintain your designation as a National Board Certified Teacher and the right to use “NBCT.”
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Use renewal to reflect on how your teaching practice continues to support student learning.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Preserve your professional stature even after you retire, leave the classroom or change careers.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Continue to have the opportunity as an NBCT to advocate for educational reform and champion policies that support teaching excellence.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Sustain salary incentives (in some states and localities).
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Stay connected through NBPTS programs, products and services such as NBCTLink, the new password-protected online community exclusively for NBCTs; AdvocacyLink, the new online advocacy resource; and NBPTS NewsLink, the online newsletter.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Renewal Requirements
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Your original 10-year certificate must be valid when you apply for renewal. NBCTs whose certification has expired are not eligible for renewal.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">You must be in your eighth or ninth year of certification to begin the renewal process.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Your state teaching license must be current and unencumbered (e.g. not suspended or revoked). Teachers who are not required by the state to hold a license must submit proof that the school in which they teach is recognized and approved to operate by the state. Renewal candidates who are not actively teaching but plan to establish a relationship and work with students of a colleague in order to complete renewal must meet the teaching licensure requirements of the state.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">All candidates must meet all established deadlines and submit the full $1,150 assessment fee to be eligible for renewal.
