Jumpstart Seminars 2009
for National Board Candidates
ASHLAND, KY: JULY 7, 8, 9
JumpStart is an intense three day workshop for new candidates. Facilitators provide guidance to candidates on the major aspects of the NBPTS certification process, such as interpreting standards, documented accomplishments, videotaping, forms of writing, ethics, the three content entries, assessment center preparation, organization and format. Candidates work with others in the same certificate area (if available) and hear from NBCT's who have “been there.” The goal is that when candidates leave, they have the confidence to move forward using the tools provided for them, developed a network of fellow candidates, have rough drafts of entries, and a plan of action to complete the process.
Certification rate for candidates who completed JumpStart (and stayed with the program!) is much higher than the national average.
