18. Final Thoughts
“To earn National Board Certification, you must show not only that your students learn, but that you know your students, how to help them set appropriate and meaningful learning goals, how to help them reflect on their learning as you reflect on the same, and how to help them set new, higher goals. In the renewal process the impact on student learning is both direct (Component 2; your work in a classroom) and indirect, through your leadership and contributions to the teaching profession.” – Luann Lee,NBCT evidence-of-impact-on-student-learning/
