Student learning is at the heart of the certification process. Portfolio entries should demonstrate and reflect the candidate’s impact on student learning.

What do we mean when we say“Standards”?
• National Content Standards

it relates to the National Board Standards.• We will begin to understand which
components of the National Board Standards are currently integrated in our practice and identify those that need to be incorporated into our practice.

Respect for Diversity Middle Childhood/Generalist
CERRA National Board Toolkit 17
Accomplished teachers nurture the
development of sound civic values in their
students as they seek to develop them
academically and socially. They teach and model
concern for the rights of all students, including
those with physical and intellectual challenges,
Accomplished teachers help students learn to respect and appreciate
individual and group differences.

those with learning disabilities, and those with
abilities to speak a variety of languages or
dialects at home. They work toward these
ends by helping students understand and use
democratic principles of freedom, justice, and
equity and by helping them recognize
discrimination, prejudice, and stereotypes
when they occur in their classroom and
elsewhere.
CERRA National Board Toolkit 19
These teachers design activities and raise
questions that require students to think about
ethical issues and conflicts from a variety of
perspectives. They foster civic and personal
responsibility in their students by providing
opportunities for joint decision making and rule
making and by encouraging students to
address actively the social, economic, and
environmental issues in their community.
