Is pursing your National Board Certification right for you?
If you’ve ever wondered about National Board Certification AND
are a certified teacher,
will be in your third year of teaching or beyond,
and have wanted to push yourself to new heights as a professional educator. . .
then come to this informative, brief, online session
where we will share an overview of the
National Board Certification Cohort that Birdville ISD and HEB ISD collaboratively provide.
Birdville ISD certified teachers, register here for our
Online Overview Session – July 16, 2:00-3:30.
A Teams Meeting link will be sent to all registered participants on July 15.
If you have a friend in HEB ISD that you want to attend with you,
there is a registration link provided to them through the HEB ISD Professional Learning office.
A repeat of this Online Overview Session will take place on September 24 from 5-7pm at the PLC.
Some pre-reading—if you’re interested in how the Teacher Incentive Allotment works
in conjunction with the National Board Certification, read up a little, here, prior to our overview session.
Look for the 🏫 or the 💻 icon next to each session listing to help you choose the learning option that will best meet your needs.
In-person GT Update hours will not be offered during district professional learning days for the 24-25 school year.
Applicable teachers will need to get the six hour update over the summer or through a self-paced Canvas course during the school year. Great news, though, there are LOTS of options on the Advanced Academics page! Check 'em out!
Many sessions offered throughout the summer are pertinent to the needs of the campus leaders as well as the needs of the classroom teacher and other campus supporters. Check out the various Summer Sessions culled out just for you!

Check out the New Hire page of this site to learn how to register for summer sessions, New Teacher Academy, and how to sign-in so you'll receive proper credits!
For any Zoom courses, please register through the advertised link and then a zoom meeting link will be sent to you closer to the session date.
If the summer session is a Canvas course, the link in the course descriptions will take you directly the Canvas enrollment page. There will not be an Eduphoria link to register. You simply need to enroll in the course. Credit will be awarded and imported upon completion of your coursework and verification from the instructor. This process takes a little while, so credits may not show in your portfolio as quickly as they do for an Eduphoria-based session.
