Congratulations to the 87 additional MCEA members who have achieved National Board Certification this year. This afternoon MCEA is hosting a 'pinning ceremony' for them at the MCEA conference center. Keynote speakers include BOE president Patricia O'Neill, MSEA president Clara Floyd, Superintendent Jerry Weast, and NEA executive board member Joyce Powell.
These 87 are among the 305 Maryland teachers achieving National Board Certification this year: or 28% of the statewide total. Overall, there are now 561 National Board Certified Teachers in MCPS, out of 1,669 statewide (or 34%). This is a testament to the quality of the National Board candidate support program run by MCEA and MCPS.

At today's ceremony, MCEA will also be announcing a new partnership with National University to offer a unique online/onsite graduate certificate program for national board candidates who are interested in earning graduate credits through a flexible online program as part of their national board candidacy. For more information on this new online graduate certificate, contact Leslie Johnson (ljohnson@mcea.nea.org) or Mary Pat Spon (mpspon@mcea.nea.org).
