Review
"A useful tool for helping teachers determine if the National Board process is right for them. It offers guidance and tips through each step of the journey." (Principal Navigator, May 2007 )
About the Author
Martha H. Hopkins (Marty) is Professor of Education at the University of Central Florida. Before joining the university Marty taught Grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 in public and private schools in New Jersey and Florida and coordinated a Title I Math program in Ocala, Florida. She received her Masters of Education degree at the University of Florida and her PhD at The Florida State University. After teaching at UCF for 15 years, she became con-cerned that the methods and materials she was teaching in her undergraduate classes might be out of date. At the same time, the university began to discuss National Board Certification and the implications it would have on its graduate and undergraduate programs. Marty requested permission to return to the elementary classroom for one year to refresh her teaching skills and to apply for National Board Certification. Since returning to the university Marty has immersed herself in National Board initiatives. She teaches several online candidate-support classes, hosts a conference for Florida NBCTs each spring, and is presently creating a teacher lead-ership degree for teachers who want to expand their leadership role while staying in the classroom. Marty and her husband live in Florida. They are avid sailors and enjoy travel-ing through the wine country of California.

"Not as current as some, but valuable in its own right...",
By Suzanne (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Navigating the National Board Certification Process: A Step-by-Step Workbook for Teachers (Paperback)
As previously noted, this book desperately needs a current revision. Having said that, know that there is some very helpful information contained within these pages.
The sample questions and activities guide the candidate through the process, and organization is a strong point of the work. Sample worksheets will be found helpful, as will the FAQs, so long as the candidate checks for changes which may have taken place since the publication of Hopkins' book. Two other much shorter, less expensive, and no frills handbooks that are helpful are "So, You Want to Become a National Board Certified Teacher?", and "Mentoring the NBPTS Candidate" (yes candidates can sneak a peek and learn). These don't hold your hand as much, but they are cut-to-the-chase relevant--especially on 'speaking the language' of the NBPTS as you write.

Navigating the National Board Certification Process: A Step-by-Step Workbook for Teachers,
This review is from: Navigating the National Board Certification Process: A Step-by-Step Workbook for Teachers (Paperback)
This was a big waste of money. It is out dated. The book gives five entries and the new instructions only have four. I am afraid to trust the things it says because It hasn't been updated to match the 2006 standards. I guess I should have checked the publication date, but amazon recommened it as a companion and I trusted that recomendation.

MOST Helpful Book for me for NBCT!!!!,
By
This review is from: Navigating the National Board Certification Process: A Step-by-Step Workbook for Teachers (Hardcover)
This was THE MOST helpful book to help me pull together all of the questions I had about creating my portfolios. The author has personally led over 100 teachers successfully through the NBCT process. It is also my understanding that she offers an online course, she is a professor at the University of Central Florida. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR NBCT CANDIDATES!! REBECCA ROSE LUTONSKY, NBCT 2007
