Certification Description
The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards has developed 12 standards of accomplished practice for Adolescence and Young Adulthood/Science teachers. The standards have been ordered as they have to facilitate understanding, not to assign priorities. They each describe an important facet of accomplished teaching; they often occur concurrently because of the seamless quality of teaching.
The standards serve as the basis for National Board Certification in this field.
