DALLAS — Two teachers from the Dallas Independent School District have earned the highest professional credential in the field of teaching—National Board Certification for the 2007–2008 school year.
Nancy Mack, a teacher at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, and Martin Osae, an instructional coach with the district’s science department, both received national certification.
These educators join Holly Gamble, a 2002 National Board Certification teacher from James Madison High School, and the 474 other teachers from Texas who have received this distinguished accomplishment. This year’s class of teachers who achieved National Board Certification is expected to push the total number of National Board Certified Teachers across the country to more than 73,000.
National Board Certification is a voluntary process established by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. The certification process involves a rigorous performance-based assessment that takes nearly a year to complete.
Through the assessment process, teachers document their subject matter knowledge; provide evidence that they know how to teach their subjects to students most effectively; and demonstrate an ability to manage and measure student learning.
