Tracey offers a “Read and Advise” service for MOC candidates, but this is available only inside the Renew Like a Pro.

Unfortunately, due to the specificity of each certification area, Tracey and the team are not able to read and advise submissions.

We encourage you to find another teacher to read over your work. You may also reach out to your district to see if there is someone who reads papers as an NBCT. The earlier you request this, the more likely it will be able to find someone.

Absolutely not! Rest assured that you can work at the pace that is right for you.

Some candidates love the process so much they work through it for the entire calendar year.

Other candidates find life (and the demands of being a teacher) gets in the way of putting NBPTS first. Have it your way - you will grow big either way!

A National Board Certified teacher is one of the most respected and coveted certifications available in education. It provides numerous benefits to teachers, students, and schools.

It was designed to develop, retain and recognize accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing improvement in schools nationwide. The process is daunting, but with the right support, can be fulfilling and open many doors for your education career.

In short, the broader context for teaching and learning are the goals that you used to plan the lesson. These typically combine many goals over a long period of time for students to internalize their learning. I wrote a blog that shows how the broader context of teaching and learning ties to the NBPTS standards and lesson planning.

Ironically, no. National Board Certification includes administrators and counselors along with educators.

Many candidates find that their title has changed due to career advancement, such as entering into administration.  However these non-teaching education professionals are still able to maintain certification. The initial certification areas include:

Tracey Bryant Stuckey has been involved in teacher coaching and mentorship for over 28 years. This passion and drive comes from losing her mother before she was able to achieve her National Board status. Feel free to read more about her story.

Her efforts were grass roots by being contracted by local school districts to help with NBPTS certification, but in 2019 she launched the online platform and has coached 1000+ teachers virtually.

Yes! If you are an MOC course member, you have the ability to add additional support packages within the program. That includes video editing/compression, one-on-one coaching meetings with Tracey, and a final read-over of your entire portfolio for an additional fee.

While I am an NBCT ( and have been since 1999) and love NBPTS, I have no direct affiliation with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.

The views and opinions that I state and express are in no way reflective of the National Board and are my own. I appreciate NBPTS and the work that they are doing for teachers in allowing them to GROW!!!

You can find official NBPTS questions and contact information, as well as the NBPTS contact form, on the organization’s website.

Yes, we are able to offer gift certificates. Please reach out to [email protected] to request this and the team will get this set for you. 

At this time, I’m unable to offer one-on-one consultations due to the high volume of candidates I support as a Candidate Support Provider. There simply aren't enough hours in the day to give each request the attention it deserves.

However, if you have questions about any of my products or need help figuring out where to begin, my team is happy to assist! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]
