On Friday January 25th Mrs. April Krouse hosted a popcorn celebration with the 2nd graders at Payne Elementary. Students were not only rewarded for their achievement of AR goals for the 2 nd nine weeks, but they were also celebrating the fact that Mrs. April Krouse renewed her National Boards for literacy!! These students assisted Mrs. Krouse last year while in 1st grade by participating in a recorded lesson that was submitted as a part of her project.
“National Board Certified Teachers have proven that they teach to the highest standards in the profession- and ten years later, they put in the work to show their commitment to their practice and to their students. Research makes clear that their students are the true beneficiaries,” said Peggy Brookins, NBCT and President and CEO of the National Board.
The National Board is at work across the country, helping set the expectation that all teachers should demonstrate accomplished teaching via National Board certifications and become leaders in their schools and communities. Every child should have the opportunity to learn from an accomplished teacher.
