Sharing the Journey

The Power of Accomplished Teaching supports Early Childhood/Generalist National Board Certified Teachers and candidates. With 11 years of online candidate support under our belt, we have expanded to include the same engaging and collaborative support for our National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) as well. We are not affiliated with nor endorsed by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.

Library Resources

Our Library is rich with resources for each aspect of EC-GEN NB Certification and the practice of early childhood teaching.

Our old “Files” from the “Yahoo! Groups” site are newly condensed to simplify and explain the process.
