About the Certification Process The National Board Certification process requires you to submit samples of your teaching methods and practices, through a portfolio and assessment center exercises. The portfolio consists of four entries, each of which requires you to provide direct evidence that your teaching meets the National Board standards. Each entry must be accompanied by written analytical, descriptive, and reflective commentary. Three entries focus on classroom practice, two of which are demonstrated by videotape evidence and student work samples. All three entries require you to provide written analytical, descriptive, and reflective commentary. The fourth entry documents accomplishments that focus on both your work within the profession and your outreach to families and the community. At the assessment center, you will be expected to demonstrate your knowledge of developmentally appropriate content across the full (age) range of the certification area you have chosen. There are six computer-delivered exercises, each of which must be completed within 30 minutes.
