TO: Members of the State Board of Education FROM: Karen B. Salmon, Ph.D. DATE: October 23, 2018 SUBJECT: Selection of Candidates for 2018-2019 Incentive Program for Certification by the National Board
for Professional Teaching Standards PURPOSE: The purpose of this action is to confirm candidates to participate in the 2018-2019 Incentive Program established for public school teachers seeking certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). BACKGROUND: Education Article §6-112 State and Local Aid Program for Certification or Renewal of Certification, requires the State Board of Education to annually confirm a maximum of 1,000 candidates eligible to participate in the Incentive Program for Certification by the NBPTS. Each confirmed teacher shall receive an amount equal to the certification fee charged by NBPTS; which is currently $475.00 per component, for a total cost of $1,900.00 for initial certification and $1200.00 for the renewal of an existing certification. Additionally, each confirmed teacher may apply for the funding of one retake of a component for an additional cost of $500. Each local school system must pay one-third of the certification fee and the State pays the remaining two-thirds. Candidates’ names are forwarded to the Maryland State Department of Education from local school systems that elect to participate in this program. National Board Certification is a national professional certification in education issued by the NBPTS. Since the inception of the Incentive Program in 1998, the Maryland State Board of Education has funded more than 5,500 Maryland teachers to participate in this rigorous assessment. Currently, there are 3,056 Maryland educators certified by the NBPTS. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Local school systems have identified 556 candidates to participate in the 2018-2019 Incentive Program. The participating local school systems have submitted written verification stating that local policies and procedures were followed during the selection process. Each candidate has also submitted a notarized Memorandum of Understanding, which specifies the conditions of repayment should candidates fail to complete the assessment process. ACTION: Request that the State Board of Education approve candidates for participation in the 2018-2019 Incentive Program for Certification by the NBPTS.
