Congratulations to our New NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS – Class of 2020

Please join the Chicago Teachers Union and the Chicago Teachers Union Foundation in celebrating our new National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs). Congratulations go to 5 new NBCTs from the Class of 2020 in addition to the 47 recent NBCTs announced in December. Their dedication to achieving National Board Certification and meeting the high and rigorous standards for accomplished teaching of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards is inspiring.  Their hard work, flexibility, and commitment to the 2-year National Board Certification process in these toughest of times have paid off and their students are the beneficiaries.  We congratulate the following:
