This Senate resolution formally recognizes and honors the 141,464 teachers who have earned or maintained National Board Certification as of March 2025. It highlights that this certification is based on rigorous, teacher-developed standards and that research demonstrates students taught by National Board Certified teachers learn more than their peers. These educators are also acknowledged for their critical role in addressing learning loss and often serve in leadership positions. The resolution emphasizes the importance of National Board Certified teachers' contributions to student learning and achievement across the United States. It encourages educators, administrators, school districts, and States to actively promote increasing the number of new National Board Certified teachers. Furthermore, it advocates for providing the necessary incentives and support to candidates pursuing this advanced professional certification.
