This volume provides perspectives from a wide range of policymakers, administrators and practitioners on the value and utility of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards(NBPTS). In describing their various experiences working with the National Board, the authors challenge the education community to rethink its approach to teacher preparation, program accreditation, state licensure and certification.

The chapters are unified around one theme: that a strong relationship between NBPTS and teacher professional development institutions and organizations is mutually beneficial. Anyone with a keen interest in the postsecondary and PK-12 professional development sectors will find this volume valuable.

Accomplished Teachers: Institutional Perspectives is edited by Mary E. Dilworth and Ella F. Cleveland with a foreword by Joseph A. Aguerrebere.
