Billchambersmotors. com Lee County Teacher Obtains Highest Level On First Attempt Achieving what few even try, Kim Dobson has become a National Board for Profes sional Teaching Standards certified teacher on her first attempt. The process for becoming certified requires both as sessments and a portfolio of the teacher’s work. Dobson’s submission spanned November of 2000 to April 2001. Finally on No vember 16, 2001, she was notified that she had been awarded the highest level of certification a classroom teacher can achieve. To prepare for certifica tion, the Board provides a book of standards that re flect the quality of nationally certified teachers. Dobson indicated that this process required a lot of reflection on what she teaches and the impact she has on learning. Some of Dobson’s portfo lio included tying in social studies with the arts, build ing a classroom community, following the progress of a student’s literacy, and intro ducing a science concept (shadow and lights). She was also required to video of her self teaching and to critique herself. Dobson spent every week end and all days off working on her certification. She es timated that she has spent at least 400 hours dedicated to this process. With reim bursement from the state ex pected, Dobson spent $2,300 to be certified. Nationally certified teach ers can expect a ten percent increase in pay and opportu nities for advancement. Dob son will also have the oppor tunity to assess other teach ers who are seeking this cer tification if she chooses. With thirteen years teach ing experience, Dobson is a kindergarten teacher at Kin- chafoonee Primary School. She stated that this rigorous process has helped to make her a better teacher.
