Research shows that children learn better when teachers have a specific type of training – the ‘gold standard’ of National Board Certification. But dramatically fewer teachers in Alabama achieved that license during the pandemic.
Some Jefferson County aides surprised by new enforcement of job requirementAll national board certified teachers who are currently teaching in a classroom earn a $5,000 state-funded stipend, and beginning in 2018, those who teach certain subjects in hard-to-staff schools earn an additional state-funded $5,000 every year.
The number of Alabama teachers earning National Board Certification dropped to 135 in 2021, according to a report covering the 2021-22 school year. The Alabama Department of Education prepared the annual report for lawmakers ahead of the start of the legislative session.The state’s 1,700 NBCTs aren’t evenly distributed across the state. Of Alabama’s 139 school districts, 18 districts - most in rural areas - had no NBCTs last year. Another 20 districts had only one NBCT in the entire district.
“To create school transformation, you’re going to need to have a cluster of teachers,” he said, “and that’s something that the state could create some incentives around.
The drop in interest in pursuing board certification was likely due to a number of factors, Marcum said.
