In the United States, educational reform has focused on teachers and their responsibility for student achievement. Hence, the development of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) to provide a national system of recognition for teachers that will transform and unify the teaching profession (Hamsa, 1998). The NBPTS' mission in education is to "maintain high and rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do, provide a national voluntary system certifying teachers who meet these standards, and advocating related education reforms to integrate National Board Certification (NBC) in American education and to capitalize on the expertise of NBPTS certified teachers" (NBPTS,2001, p. v). In 1994, the NBPTS created a committee of special educators to develop national standards to define professional growth and contemporary practice in the field of special education in accordance with the Five Core Propositions of the NBPTS. The changing role of the special educators in educational reform has forced special educators to seek alternative forms of professional development to meet the needs of the diverse population of students with disparate needs in the classroom. Current research on the use of NBPTS certification process as appropriate professional development has proven that the certification process is a viable means of maintaining professional knowledge for the general educator. However, there is minimal research on the impact of the NBPTS certification process has on special educators and the students that receive special education services. This study is a mixed methods study that explored the use of the NBPTS process as an appropriate mode of professional development for special educators outside of the traditional workshop model of professional development. Models of professional development are discussed, features of professional development are explored, professional development for special educators is examined, and the study is situated within the theoretical framework of Constructivism Theory. The NSDC Standards Assessment Inventory-2 survey (see Appendix A) was administered in addition to demographic information collected. The qualitative portion of the study engaged NBPTS Exceptional Needs recipients in a voluntary interview to determine their affective experience in regard to the NBPTS certification process.

Since its inception in 1987, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards[R] (NBPTS) has met its goals of creating standards for what teachers should know and be able to do and established a national voluntary certification system for accomplished teachers. To help commemorate its 20th anniversary, the NBPTS has published this report to take stock of its accomplishments and lay out its vision for moving forward. Spotlighting the current number of National Board Certified Teachers, this report describes the growing impact they are having in classrooms in every state and the powerful role NBPTS Standards and certification have in education reform efforts.

The mission of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) is to establish "high and rigorous standards for what teachers should know and be able to do, to certify teachers who meet those standards, and to advance other education reforms for the purpose of improving student learning in American schools." In response to a request from the U.S. Congress, the National Research Council developed a framework for evaluating programs that award advanced-level teacher certification and applied that framework in an evaluation of the impacts of the NBPTS. Specifically, this book addresses the impacts on students, teachers, and the educational system in this country. Assessing Accomplished Teaching finds that teachers who earn board certification are more effective at improving their students' achievement than other teachers, but school systems vary greatly in the extent to which they recognize and make use of board-certified teachers. Many of the questions on the evaluation framework could not be answered because the data have not been collected, and the report makes recommendations for the kinds of research that are needed to fully evaluate the impacts of board certification by the NBPTS.

Adapted Physical Education National Standards, Third Edition, thoroughly covers the latest Adapted Physical Education National Standards (APENS), offering current knowledge and best practices for teaching adapted physical education. This new edition solidifies the book’s reputation as an essential resource for adapted physical educators. Representing the first major revision to the standards since 2006, Adapted Physical Education National Standards, Third Edition, fully explains the 15 national standards as established by the National Consortium for Physical Education for Individuals with Disabilities (NCPEID). In addition to updating the national standards, this resource offers educators and professionals two other important updates: a new web study guide and a fresh design of the text. The study guide includes important information and more than 1,100 sample test questions for educators who are studying to take the Certified Adapted Physical Educator (CAPE) exam. This new tool allows candidates to prepare for the exam by taking practice quizzes based on the content within each standard. For each practice quiz, the reader is presented with questions randomly drawn from a pool of questions for that standard, ensuring a wide variety of sample exam possibilities. The candidate then receives a score and can review the correct and incorrect answers to determine areas for further study. Candidates can also view and download a comprehensive list of all questions for all standards. The new text design makes the content within each standard easier to read, providing a greater understanding of each level at a glance. Each of the 15 standards is presented in five levels. The level for a typical standard is organized this way: Level 1: the standard number and name Level 2: the major components of the standard Level 3: the standard’s subcomponents—dependent pieces of knowledge of fact or principle related to the major component Level 4: adapted physical education content—additional knowledge regarding the subcomponents that teachers working with individuals with disabilities need to know Level 5: application of adapted physical education content from level 4 to teaching individuals with disabilities Levels 1 through 3 outline the basic instructional competencies that physical educators who teach students in integrated or segregated environments must be able to demonstrate. Those levels provide the foundation for levels 4 and 5. The standards are logical extensions of SHAPE America’s 2017 National Standards for Initial Physical Education Teacher Education, SHAPE America’s 2008 Advanced Standards for Physical Education, and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards’ 2014 Physical Education Standards. Adapted Physical Education National Standards, Third Edition, is useful for a variety of stakeholders: Physical education majors and in-service teachers who are preparing for the APENS exam Higher education faculty members who want to evaluate their adapted physical education preparation programs K-12 administrators who want to use APENS exam results for reviewing and hiring new teachers Parents of children who require adapted physical education instruction, to inquire at their child’s IEP meeting about the qualifications of the physical educator for their child The book features an appendix of Frequently Asked Questions, a glossary of terms that includes abbreviations and acronyms in the field, and a summative list of references that were used by NCPEID committees in developing the APENS standards. It also includes an overview of NCPEID and a detailed description of how the standards and the certification exam were developed. Adapted Physical Education National Standards, Third Edition, will keep readers up to date on the standards, help them prepare for the CAPE exam, and help ensure that high-quality adapted physical education is available for all students who can benefit from it.

The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards[R] (NBPTS) has always welcomed scrutiny of the National Board Certification[R] process and the impact that National Board Certified Teachers[R] (NBCTs) have on teaching and learning. As a result, in the 20 years since NBPTS was founded, National Board Certification has become one of the most heavily researched areas in the teaching field. Scores of studies, research projects, and other reports have reviewed and evaluated various aspects of National Board Certification. These efforts have covered such areas as the impact of National Board Certification on student performance, the influence of the process on teacher retention, and the quality of assignments planned by National Board Certified Teachers. This report provides summaries of dozens of these studies. Overall, the studies show promising, but in some cases mixed, results regarding the impact of National Board Certification on student achievement as measured by standardized tests. The research is consistently positive about the influence of National Board Certification on teacher practice and morale, professional development, and areas of school improvement--such as leadership development, teacher mentoring, monitoring student performance, team-building, and curriculum development--that are critical to raising student achievement. A bibliography is included.

The combination of difficult economic times and increased accountability has led policymakers to call for evidence that students taught by National Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS)-certified teachers make greater achievement gains than those taught by non-NBPTS-certified teachers. Overall, studies show mixed results regarding the impact of National Board Certification on student achievement. Some research has found that students assigned to NBPTS-certified teachers make greater achievement gains than students assigned to non-NBPTS-certified teachers, while others have found no such differences. The results of studies have varied depending on the subject area, grade level, and group of teachers analyzed. This review included two studies that can be considered among the most definitive available with regard to testing the efficacy of National Board Certification. Both studies addressed the key issue of whether students taught by NBPTS-certified teachers exhibit greater academic achievement gains than students taught by non-NBPTS-certified teachers. One study was conducted by Cantrell and colleagues (2008) and is to date the only research study addressing National Board Certification that has received the seal of approval (i.e., "well-implemented randomized controlled trial") from the U.S. Department of Education's What Works Clearinghouse. This type of recognition and evaluation carries considerable weight in the field of educational research at the present time. Cantrell and associates found minimal impact of National Board Certification on student achievement in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The other important study, conducted within Florida's own school district and partially funded by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (Cavalluzzo, 2004), found what was described as "robust evidence" for National Board Certification. However, upon closer inspection, one finds a very small positive effect which would be equivalent, for the average student, to a difference of approximately one or two percentile points (Effect Size = 0.07 to 0.08, or 7 to 8 percent of one standard deviation) in favor of students taught by NBPTS-certified teachers. The fact that this finding was statistically significant should not imply high importance since the large sample size used in the study contributed to making such a small effect statistically significant. It can be argued that the size of the difference between NBPTS-certified and non-NBPTS-certified teachers may have been statistically significant, but not in a manner that makes a practical difference in the real world. This Information Capsule presents research on the positive and negative impact of National Board Certification on Student Achievement, as well as the Board's impact on classroom and professional practices. It also shows its impact on teacher retention rates, and describes the unequal distribution of National Board Certified teachers.
