SPS congratulates new National Board Certified teachers

Six more Spokane Schools teachers recently earned the highest credential in the teaching profession – National Board Certification. They are Sara Devins from Hutton Elementary, Kathleen Jagoda from Jefferson Elementary, Moleena Harris from Glover Middle School, Jennifer O’Bright from Glover Middle School, Kelly Petty from Whitman Elementary and Stacy Reich from Sheridan Elementary.

That brings the total of National Board Certified teachers in Spokane Public Schools to 27.

A voluntary process, National Board Certification is achieved through a rigorous, performance-based assessment that typically takes more than a year to complete and measures what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do. The process requires teachers to demonstrate how their activities, both inside and outside of the classroom, improve student achievement.

Congratulations!
