NB Renewal
Overview
What is the Basis for
Renewal?
“The expectation is that NBCTs will use both
the Five Core Propositions and the
Architecture of Accomplished Teaching as the
foundation for what they continue to do in the
classroom and for themselves as lifelong
learners who continue to grow and enhance
student learning.” - NBPTS Profile of Professional Growth, p. 6
