Thirteen Kamehameha Schools educators on three campuses recently earned recertification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, bringing the number of certified educators at KS to 79.

The NBPTS certification is the nation’s highest credential in the teaching profession and can take up to five years to complete. It includes building portfolios of student work, assignments, and a teaching analysis.

Once certification is earned, educators earn recertification by successfully completing the national board’s Maintenance of Certification process every five years. The process ensures that educators continue professional growth experiences with a focus on positively impacting student learning.
