This year, 42 Frederick County Public Schools educators achieved National Board Certification through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
In addition to the 42 teachers who received their initial certification, three additional teachers were recertified.
FCPS has 143 National Board Certified educators.
“We are so proud of each educator for earning National Board Certification,” FCPS Superintendent Dr. Cheryl L. Dyson said. “Their commitment is a shining example of how FCPS teachers continue to meet the needs of ‘every child, every day.’”
The National Board Certification process helps to develop, retain and recognize accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing improvement in instructional practice.
