The Career Academy Master Teacher Certification provides an opportunity for teachers with three or more years of experience teaching in an academy to validate their work through a reflective portfolio-based professional development opportunity. Those who undertake the certification process will demonstrate their knowledge of and commitment to the NCAC National Standards of Practice by submitting evidence of how these standards come to life through their instructional practice.
There are many reasons to become a Career Academy Master Teacher. Career Academy Master Teachers prove their effectiveness in the classroom every day:
Research on career academies shows that students in career academies experience improved outcomes during and after high school.
Master teachers reflect on their practice, demonstrate their talent in the learning environment, and highlight their commitment to the NSOP through their daily work.
By working with a network of stakeholders, master teachers strive for improving instruction and providing high quality, real world experiences that help students realize their potential for college and career success.
