A Study of The Effects of the NBPTS on Master Programs in Education and Teacher's Roles

自1987年NBPTS成立以来，许多大学已经开发并实施了新的项目来寻求NBPTS标准，并帮助教师达到国家委员会的认证。对实践的反思和写作是未来国家委员会认证教师的关键要素，因此这些课程的特点集中在获得国家委员会认证所需的作品集评估上。本研究发现，与地区或州计划毕业生相比，大学计划毕业生在地区中往往具有更积极的领导能力，以实现NBC。

Since the NBPTS was established in 1987, many universities have developed and implemented new programs to seek NBPTS standards and to help teachers in reaching National Board Certification. Reflection and writing on the practices are key elements for prospective National Board Certified teachers, so the features of these programs focus on the portfolio evaluations which are required for earning the NBC. This study found the university program graduates tended to have more active leadership in districts, compared to the district or state program graduates for achieving NBC.
