2023 California Induction Conference

National Board Certification is the most respected professional certification available in education and provides numerous benefits to teachers, students and schools. It was designed to develop, retain and recognize accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing improvement in schools nationwide.
In 2021 California established the National Board Incentive Program for teachers working in eligible high-priority schools. The California National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Candidate Subsidy Program provides the funding for teachers in high priority California schools to pursue National Board Certification. Additionally, teachers currently certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards that work in eligible high priority schools can receive a $25,000 incentive.
This session will discuss the incentives to ensure more students are taught by National Board-certified teachers in high priority schools. Attendees will also learn about National Board certification as an alternative to induction for their more seasoned teachers to apply for a clear credential with the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
