The NBPTS Margins to Center grant is a national project in which established Candidate Support Programs (CSPs) are provided with short-term additional funding and capacity-building support “to investigate the complexity and nuance of the learning environments” that produce current results: low numbers of teachers of color pursuing and achieving board certification. The aim is to experiment with program adjustments or redesign in a way that will:
Improve students’ social, emotional, and academic development.
Improve teachers’ instructional practice.
Increase the number of highly effective teachers, with a preponderance of teachers of color, pursuing and achieving Board certification as an advanced credential.
Improve retention of teachers of color serving high concentrations of high-needs students.
Boston is one of 12 M2C Partner Sites
The project identifies five key design components that partner sites will engage with-- affinity spaces, ATLAS implementation, mentorship, professional learning opportunities, and professional learning facilitator (PLF) community-- and learn from each other over the two yeas of the grant: Oct 2023-Sept 2025. In order to accelerate our ramp-up to this project’s activities, we have established some new one-year roles designed to lay the groundwork and build capacity for an effective and sustainable Candidate Support Program and NBCT Network in Boston from this year onward.
