• The application window for the 2012-13 assessment cycle for first time candidates and Take One! participants is now open.

NC-NBC Process

Leave Days:

• 3 days – new candidates only• Be eligible for the loan but you don’t have to

take it.• Clear SP2 License

TAKE ONE

Who Can Take One!?*teachers as well as induction or pre-service teachers, *principals, *administrators, *professors in colleges of education

Take One! is classroom-based professional development and requires that educators have access to a preK-12 classroom to complete the portfolio entry. 

Banking

• What is score banking?• Save the Take One Score and use it for full

certification• Bank good scores for 2 years and retake the

areas that they didn’t do well• If I only complete one part of the assessment

process, will my scores be automatically banked or do I need to notify NBPTS?

Renewal

• Certified already; good for 10 years

• Start in 8th year; risky to wait until the 9th year

• Renewals - pay their own fees

• 2 CEUs- requirement now (first time 7.5 CEUs)

Retakes

• Went through the first time and did not achieve

• 2 years to retake
