As of the summer of 2009 North Carolina no longer pays for National Boards because we are just flat broke here in this state.

I knew this would eventually happen and that's why I'll take my Master's over National Boards any day.

Sorry :(

I have been teaching for eight years in Texas.I would LOVE to have an opportunity like this to become a better teacher. Unfortunately our state treats teachers like we are less valuable that a chair in the classroom. So it will be a cold day in hades before we ever see the state help us attain such a credential. I do want to know how you obtain this credential. So if anyone knows please tell me how!! I want to be a better better teacher. I love what I do and I know I change lives, so we will see if i can fit this into my non exisistant budget!!

I am 72 years old and have been retired from liibrary work after having taught in hgh school for fifteen years. Unfortunately I let my certification lapse after I retired. I would enjoy substituting a day or so a week in my field, but since the certificate is no longer in force, that is not an option. I have taught online to foreign students and have taught English as a second language (ESL) face to face. In my estimation, the government should allow qualified teachers (and that is the problem) to substitute teach in their fields of expertise. I do not have to teach for financial reasons but would enjoy teaching gifted and eager students.
