Changes to Program

With impending changes in the support that will be available for National Board Certification programs in PA, including fewer fee support scholarships from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Duquesne University is changing the way that we prepare and support candidates seeking National board Certification.

Please be aware of the following:

  1. Information sessions are available at your site by contacting the program coordinator at dibertr@duq.edu. Sessions will be conducted on a first come first served basis.

  2. Site(s) will be determined by the number of interested teachers in a geographic area. (Example, if the majority of teachers who register are from the Monroeville area, we will seek a site in that general area.) If others from your geographic area are interested in a prep class, encourage them to register now.

There are seven classes in the preparation program, and approximately 3 hours of homework each for each class. Classes meet for three hours…generally from 5:00 to 8:15 p.m. and meet once a week, after school. Preparation class participants can earn 30 Act 48 hours. Please register for the preparation classes in the section of this site under the Prep Class button.
