Progress: The actual number of National Board Certified Teachers is currently available for 2003. Data for each year normally will be available by early December. The target has been set at an increase of 5,000 NBCTs each year. Currently, 49 states and approximately 490 localities offer some kind of incentive for teachers to apply for National Board Certification; these incentives have helped to increase the number of applicants for National Board Certification. (These incentives include fee support, salary supplements, and license portability.) However, budget shortfalls in the states are having an impact on the incentives offered and thus the number of candidates. |
