the word "congratulations" with three women - indication their achievement of attaining National Board Certification

CHARLESTON, WV - Several dedicated educators in Wood County Schools have reached a remarkable milestone in their careers by earning National Board Certification, the highest credential in the teaching profession. This prestigious certification is awarded by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) and signifies a teacher’s commitment to excellence, professional growth, and student success.

Achieving National Board Certification is no small feat. The rigorous process requires educators to demonstrate advanced teaching practices, reflect deeply on their instructional methods, and submit extensive portfolios showcasing their impact on student learning. It often takes years of dedication, self-reflection, and perseverance to achieve this distinction.

National Board Certification benefits not only the educators but also the entire school community. Research has shown that students taught by board-certified teachers perform at higher levels, as these educators bring innovative strategies and a deeper understanding of student needs into the classroom.

We commend our newly certified teachers for their dedication and hard work in reaching this incredible milestone. Their achievement is a testament to their passion for education and their unwavering commitment to shaping the future of our students.

Congratulations to Our National Board-Certified Teachers!

Dr. Mycah Auville, Ms. Morgan Hickle, and Ms. Olivia Tucker
