National Board Certification Excelling Teaching & Learning : Career Ladder

Career Ladder provides opportunities for National Board Certification

National Board Certification is the highest credential in the teaching profession. It is a voluntary and rigorous performance-based assessment that measures what a teacher knows and is able to do. Teachers who achieve certification are considered highly qualified under the No Child Left Behind Act. Research shows that students of NBCTs, especially young students from lower-income families, benefit greatly and display higher performance on tests.

The following Scottsdale teachers have achieved their National Board Certification for Professional Teaching Standards: Dr. Anne Hanson (1998), Joani Share (1998), Bobbie Faulkner (1999), Sharon Guttell (1999), Debbie Voris (1999),  Laurie Jones-Ritt (1999), Meredith Andrews (2001), Gary Wojton (2001), Christine Hawes (2002), Mary Zongolowicz (2003), Malcolm Leinwohl (2004), Susan Vairo (2004), John Andrews (2006), Allison Bosworth (2007), Susie Baldwin (2008), Dedra Cannon (2008), Pat Collofello (2008), Stacey Greene (2008), Megan Kraatz (2008), Jennifer MacColl (2008), Alicia Majercin (2008), Sue McAuslan (2008), Diane Murphy (2008), Donna Sheber (2008), Mary Trent (2008), Wes Wagner (2008), Cathy Weise (2008).
