MNEA members earn National Board Certification

MNEA proudly celebrates members who earned National Board Certification-one of the most respected and rigorous professional certifications in education-in 2025. This achievement reflects a deep commitment to teaching excellence, continuous growth, and student success. National Board Certification recognizes educators who meet the highest standards of the profession through a demanding, reflective process that demonstrates advanced knowledge, effective instructional practices, and a strong impact on student learning.

Designed to develop, retain, and recognize accomplished teachers, National Board Certification benefits not only educators but also students, schools, and communities.

Research consistently shows that National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) strengthen instructional quality, elevate student achievement, and contribute to positive school culture. By investing in this gold standard of professional learning, MNEA members help drive ongoing improvement in Missouri's public schools and reinforce the value of highly skilled, well-supported educators in every classroom.
