Twenty-three teachers from Indian Prairie School District 204 recently earned National Board Certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. District 204 has 138 teachers with National Board Certification, making it second only to Chicago Public Schools in the number of National Board Certified teachers on staff. National Board Certification is the most prestigious credential a teacher can earn. Like board-certified doctors and accountants, teachers who achieve National Board Certification have met rigorous standards through intensive study, expert evaluation, self-assessment and peer review. The process can take up to three years to complete. District 204 has five National Board Certified teachers who are Waubonsie Valley High School graduates. They include Jerry Guzaldo, Jeannie Brooks, Mark Dwyer, Laura Fry and Katie Knopp. "It takes a huge commitment to earn this certification. These teachers are dedicated to their own professional development and their students," Superintendent Kathy Birkett said in a news release.
