Course Description
Students enrolled in NBCX 1201X or NBCX 1800X are automatically enrolled in these collaborative online sessions at no additional charge. The monthly online collaborative provides teachers with an opportunity to network, and analyze their practice and portfolio commentaries against the certificate standards in a group setting. Students may also meet one Saturday each month from 9:00 am until noon at various National University network sites. These sessions begin with a topic, but are structured to allow time for reading, editing and feedback to and from peers in a supportive environment moderated by NBCT Certified Support Providers (CSPs).

Those who enroll only in NBCX 1801X do not need additional "credits", but simply want to interact with other active candidates from across the country, and want additional exposure to the overall preparation methodologies.

The cost effective collaborative sessions provide NBCT candidates with a flexible, yet comprehensive approach for support, collaboration and technical assistance. This year-long collaborative augments other NBCT preparation methods by providing access to resources, threaded discussions and synchronous chat sessions. The online collaborative is hosted, but not driven, by experienced NBCTs with support provider training (NBPTS).

Each year, the collaborative reconvenes with updated information in the online supplement. As early as June, NBCT candidates will be admitted to the collaborative and may begin accessing helpful information. Enrolled candidates will have access to online chats, threaded discussions and online information that parallels monthly "onsite" meetings.

All support and assistance is carefully designed and aligned with the NBPTS Code of Ethics for Candidates Support, and all participants (candidates and CSPs) adhere to the NBPTS criteria which are reflected by all program participants.

Cost: $100
