Universities Incorporate National Board

Standards

Many universities around the country are aligning their standards with the National Board Certification standards. Dr. Patrick Allen, Dean of Union College's Graduate School of Education, was one of the first to align the Masters Program with National Boards Standards.

Graduate Credit

Many universities award graduate credit for achieving National Board Certification. NBCTs can download an application from the American Council of Education which can be submitted with payment for graduate credits to participating universities.

Certificate of Graduate Study

Some institutions of Higer Education are also creating Certificates of Graduate Study. The University at Albany is creating a 12 credit CGS which involves participating in a National Board support group, achieving NBC, and focusing on a specific topic in teacher leadership.

University Based Support Groups

In New York State several schools of education have collaborated with a New York State Teacher Center to support candidates seeking National Board Certification.
These include:

  • Union Graduate College and Greater Capital Region Teacher Center
  • SUNY Potsdam and St. Lawrence Teacher Center

    Please contact us if you have other examples which incorporate NBC and institutions of Higher Education.
