National Board Certification - Science - Adolescence and Young Adulthood

Description

The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards has developed 12 standards of accomplished practice for Adolescence and Young Adulthood/Science teachers.

They each describe an important facet of accomplished teaching; they often occur concurrently because of the seamless quality of teaching.<br>The standards serve as the basis for National Board Certification in this field.
