What is Jump Start?
WEA's National Board Jump Start is a 4-day seminar that provides early support to new National Board candidates to help them understand and be successful in the certification process ahead. Jump Start is intended to complement yearlong candidate support provided by university and district programs and is led by a fun and dynamic team of National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs). This year we are offering two seminars, one on each side of the Cascade Mountains.
The registration fee for 2010 Jump Start seminars and instructions regarding how to register will be announced when registration opens in mid-March of 2010, and includes breakfast, lunch, coffee and snacks each day, all training materials, and up to 30 clock hours. Part of your fee also provides an honorarium to each of the many NBCTs and trainers who contribute their time to make this event a quality experience for candidates. Candidates are responsible for their own travel, lodging, and substitute costs if applicable. Please view a sample agenda.
Items to note:
Jump Start participants should be registered candidates with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) before the start of the seminar they attend. Because this is a WEA-sponsored event, priority access into open seminar seats will be given to WEA members who are officially registered with NBPTS. Contact NBPTS to pay your initial $65 fee and obtain a National Board ID number.
