The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) advances the quality of teaching and learning by:

• Maintaining high and rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do
• Providing a national rigorous voluntary system for certifying teachers who meet these standards

Since 1987 more than 55,000 teachers nationwide have achieved National Board Certification and approximately 3700 in California.
