Teachers that pursue National Board certification have to meet rigorous standards in order to achieve this designation. The task is not easy, but is well worth the effort as each teacher who goes through the process comes away a better teacher. The Ellbogen Foundation, the Wyoming legislature, and other partners realize the importance of the journey teachers take to achieve certification. Their financial support helps provide not only an incentive to partake in this meaningful work, but validation of its importance. This past year, the number of NBCTs in Wyoming increased over 300% from the previous year, they highest gain in the nation. I hope the growth in NBC teachers continues, as it can only help better the learning of the students of Wyoming.
