We will be sharing data detailing our successes from schools around the country and you might also win a fun prize for playing games with us! \nThe Teaching & Learning 2014 Conference is presented by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS).  The NBPTS’s mission is to advance student learning and achievement by establishing the definitive standards and systems for certifying accomplished educators\, providing programs and advocating policies that support excellence in teaching and leading and engaging National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) and leaders in that process.
