Press release from the Tuscaloosa County School System: March 11, 2021 March 11, 2021 This week marks #TeamNBCT Week, a time to celebrate all National Board Certified Teachers! In order to become certified through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, teachers complete a performance-based, peer-reviewed process, demonstrating their proven impact on student learning and achievement. This is a rigorous process.  Nationwide, more than 2,500 teachers achieved National Board Certification this year. This year's class of new NBCTs includes six TCSS teachers. This is always an impressive achievement, especially during a year with so many unexpected challenges. In all, TCSS is proud to have 62 educators who hold National Board Certification. Below is the full list of TCSS educators who hold National Board Certification. We appreciate their dedication to their students and to the profession of teaching. In celebration of #TeamNBCT Week, TCSS and the Tuscaloosa Education Foundation made congraulatory presentations this week to our new NBCTs. TCSS thanks TEF and Jalapeno's restaurants for making these presentations possible. See photos of our new NBCTs and the presentations in the gallery above.
