Hi, I'm Tracey Bryant Stuckey, and I am a master NBPTS coach and former assessor for the NBPTS Renewal Process. As an NBPTS coach for the last 25 years, I have learned many tips and tricks to unpacking the rubric and breaking the process down into methodical and systematic steps. My NBPTS program courses support educators who want to make an even larger impact in the classroom.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. As a former NBPTS assessor, I've seen firsthand what makes a great portfolio. And I've used my experience to reverse engineer the initial and renewal process. In turn, I developed a systematic approach to building a successful portfolio.
I've coached thousands of teachers just like you through their initial and renewal certification. That includes more than 200 since launching my online programs in 2020.
In my program, I'll share everything I know with you. Just choose either renewal or initial/retake certification, then follow the program. I'll be by your side with tips and to-dos. You will have the opportunity to sign up to see me LIVE in a group setting at least twice a month as you complete and submit your portfolio.
You've worked too hard and impacted too many students' lives to second-guess yourself now. Regain your confidence and get back to focusing on what you're passionate about — join me today.Â
