Welcome to the NBRC!

The National Board Resource Center (NBRC) at the UC Berkeley School of Education focuses on collectively transforming the teaching and learning experience. It supports teachers pursuing professional development through National Board Certification (NBC), recognized as the "gold standard" in teacher certification. Through NBC, we integrate equity and justice into classroom practice.

Partners

We collaborate closely with key partners in this endeavor and extend our gratitude to our partners and funders for their invaluable support. Currently, the NBRC partners with the Nevada National Board Support Center to assist 75 Oakland Unified School District teachers in pursuing National Board Certification (NBC). We also support other  Bay Area school district teachers, to achieve NBC.  As the NBRC continues to grow, we will offer NBC support to all California teachers at a reasonable fee.
