National Board Certification is a nationally accepted sign of quality in the teaching profession and offers a nationwide standard for evaluating and encouraging quality teaching. It is a way to recognize and reward the accomplished teachers we need to build competitive, world-class schools. 

NBCTs who qualify for designation through PfISD’s TIA Designation System may be submitted for any level of designation. TEA will default to the higher designation, and the NBCT designation will become inactive. In the case of NBCTs with two Recognized designations, the later expiry date will apply.
