MAY 2014 NETWORK MEETING
On Tuesday, May 13th about 20 NBCTs met at Salk School of Science for the NYC NBCT Network meeting which focused on teacher leadership. NBCTs built relationships, reflected on themselves as teacher leaders, and engaged in discussions on topics that are of importance to them as accomplished teachers in NYC. Some of those topics were opportunities to lead without having to leave the classroom, the new union contract, ways to increase the number of National Board Certified Teachers in NYC, and opportunities for professional development. It was a great meeting and one participant left saying, "I love these meetings. I always leave renewed and inspired." If you're an NBCT be sure to join us for our last meeting of the 2013-2014 school year in Brooklyn on Thursday, June 12, 2014 from 5 to 7 pm at Williamsburg Prep High School.
