Maintenance of Certification or MOC is the pathway for keeping your current National Board Certification active.
For complete guidance, download the MOC Guide
Maintenance of Certification (MOC) consists of a portfolio submission of two components that are evaluated together and scored holistically. The two components draw upon two Professional Growth Experiences (PGEs) related to your original certificate area and developmental level. PGEs are professional activities that you have undertaken that have evolved to become an important focus of your ongoing professional growth, that have influence within or beyond your classroom, and have a direct or indirect impact on student learning.
