National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Program
A Mandatory Bidders' Conference will be held on October 19, at 1:00. Please see RFP for more information.
The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) is an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan, non-governmental organization that was created in 1987 to provide voluntary national certification of teachers who meet rigorous, advanced standards through a series of performance-based assessments. This national accreditation process was developed in response to two high-profile reports prepared during the mid-1980s that focused on the necessity for education reforms, including improving teaching as a profession.
The National Board Professional Preparation and Support System will consist of two components. Eligible bidders may bid on either or both components; in the event that the two components are awarded to separate contractors, the winning contractors must work collaboratively toward the success of the program. For both components, the contractors' efforts will be devoted to achieving the specified goals in "targeted schools". Please see RFSP for more information.
