About your coach..

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.

In addition, I have developed a framework for skillfully supporting candidates like you in the board certification process. I’ll help you quickly plan, develop, and understand the components of your portfolio. I’ve used my experience to reverse engineer the process and create a systematic approach to building a successful portfolio.

These NBPTS professional development classes for teachers deliver results. My coaching has supported 2000+ teachers since 2009, and 1000+ since 2020 virtually.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not the only one. NBPTS certification is a long and complicated process — I’ve been through it and renewed twice myself!

I don’t want to sugar-coat it: There’s a lot at stake when it comes to NBPTS certification. However, the stress surrounding this process shouldn’t stand in the way of your continued success as a teacher.

Many educators can and do successfully earn their certification. Having the right guidance, support, and resources on your side can make a major difference. Make sure you’re giving yourself every opportunity to succeed!

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!
