National Teacher Certification is also known as National Board Certification. Similar to doctors and lawyers, the teaching profession now has way for teachers to become board certified. The process is rigorous but the prestige of achieving board certifica-tion is a valuable addition to a teacher's resume. National Board Certification is the one certification that is nationwide for teachers, where most teaching certificates vary
from state to state. We are so proud of Ms. Ober! Read more: National Teacher Certification Requirements | eHow.comhttp://www.ehow.com/facts_4813557_national-
