Created by teachers for teachers, National Board Certification is a voluntary certification system based on high and rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do. It takes anywhere from three to five years to complete. Candidates are required to demonstrate their mastery of content knowledge, provide a portfolio demonstrating how they differentiate instruction based on student needs, provide videos of their teaching in action, and submit evidence that they are effective and reflective practitioners.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NCBT-692x437-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10360 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NCBT-692x437-1.png\" alt=\"&quot;&quot;\" width=\"692\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NCBT-692x437-1.png 692w, http:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NCBT-692x437-1-300x183.png 300w, http:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NCBT-692x437-1-400x243.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 692px) 100vw, 692px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to the division\u2019s most recent honorees:<\/p>\n<p>Charlene Barrow, Red Mill Elementary School<\/p>\n<p>Dawn Brown, North Landing Elementary School<\/p>\n<p>Chirag Chhaya, Princess Anne High School<\/p>\n<p>Christy Flanagan, Salem Elementary School<\/p>\n<p>Jacquelyn McGuire-Day, Lynnhaven Middle School<\/p>\n<p>Megan Richardson, Plaza Middle School<\/p>\n<p>Amy Ricks, Brandon Middle School<\/p>\n<p>Julia Schwenke, Floyd E.
