[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That additional annual 10k and recurring by the way.  One of the most generous package compared to other states.  If I was a teacher and confident about my teaching, I would do it.  [/quote]

And that’s the problem.

You also get teachers who want the pay, not necessarily teachers who want the reflective opportunities. Good teachers regularly reflect, so they don’t necessarily need the state to tell them how.

It’s simply too much work for some teachers who would rather do their jobs and the pay isn’t incentivizing enough. [/quote]

I look at it this way.  In academia, there are always to going to be top and bottom students.  The top ones take harder classes like AP, put in more work, have a camaraderie amongst their peers, manage their time with clubs and sports, and seek to have better outcomes of their effort.  NBCT is like the AP for teachers.   They are going to put more effort, manage their time, and will want to have better outcome.  10k yearly isn't enough for you but for many others it's a lot.

Some students don't pass AP as some teachers do not pass NBCT.  Those that pass finds it rewarding for their endeavor.  [/quote]

This is such a ridiculous post. I have a doctorate in my content area from an Ivy. I don’t feel like jumping through all the hoops for NBCT certification because I have kids at home and planning/grading for my AP + other classes already takes up a lot of my time. Guess I’m a sub-par teacher in your book. [/quote]
