For teachers to become Nationally Certified, they must meet basic requirements including: a bachelor’s degree, three full years of teaching/school counseling experience, and must possess valid licensure.
They are then required to pass 10 rigorous assessments, including four portfolio entries featuring teacher practice and six exercises that assess content knowledge.
