[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It means they had the time to complete the very lengthy and involved process. It can mean that they used this opportunity to reflect on and improve their instruction, or that they just wanted the pay boost.

Lots of great teachers aren't NBCT because, again, it is a lengthy process. There are of course mediocre teachers who completed it, but not as many. It's a lot to do without accidentally improving.[/quote]

The percentage of excellent teachers in the NBCT pool vs the typical pool of teachers is a lot higher.  It is a strenuous exercise of collecting evidence, understanding high standards, with lots of analytical and reflective work.  Most teachers who go through this experience will say it's harder than your typical education graduate school.  There are 4 components and 3 of them required 10-30 pages of written work depending on your certification area.  Less than 5% of teachers are certified.  Teachers who do this are expert in their craft and are in it for the long run that's why most of who got it are often mid career.  [/quote]
