| Abstract/Description: | The broad purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of teachers who participate in the National Board Certification process. My individual interviews with the 4 teachers touched on many of their experiences. The 3 matters that emerged as paramount included professional relationships, teaching practices, and professional development. Focus groups were used with a different set of participants to supplement the individual interviews in order to provide multiple perspectives. Four topics predominated. These topics included feelings of an elevation of status or validation, improved teaching practices, enhanced relationships with colleagues, and rich learning experiences. Improved teaching practices and enhanced professional relationships were topics that emerged from both the individual interviews and the focus groups. | |
