National Board of Professional Teaching Standards

In November of 2002, the Corbin Board of Education approved a policy in support of teachers receiving National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification by providing assistance, recognition, and compensation. We are proud to say that we currently have nine teachers that hold NBPTS certification!

The Corbin Board of Education supports teachers pursuing national certification in the following ways:
-Establish and facilitate a District mentor cohort group
-Provide mentors to assist teachers with NBPTS portfolio development
-Provide up to two release days for portfolio development
-Contribute $100 toward application and fee costs
-Assist candidates in applying for the KDE Subsidiary Grants and Teachers' National
Certification Incentive Trust Fund
-Continue mentoring for 2nd year candidates

Teachers receiving NBPTS Certification are supported in the following ways:
-Pay $500 supplement each year the certification is valid (10 years) above the state approved supplement
-Pay at Rank I for teachers who have Rank II or Masters
-NBPTS Certified teachers have the opportunity to mentor other Corbin teachers
pursuing NBPTS Certification at $1000 per person, maximum of three per year.
