I am a National Board Certified Teacher.
I am a candidate for National Board Certification.
I teach at the college level or provide support for
NBPTS.
I am here with other teachers from my state.
My state already has a network.
I believe that teachers do a better job when they
share ideas.
I believe it takes reflection to become a truly
great teacher.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Wisconsin National Board
Network is to enhance student learning by:
• promoting National Board Certification
• supporting those seeking certification
• advocating for educational reforms

development, including leadership development,
