Burlington-Edison School District

National Board Certified Staff Members

The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) improves teaching and student learning. Teachers who achieve National Board Certification are highly accomplished educators who meet rigorous standards through intensive study, expert evaluation, self-assessment and peer review.

We would like to give special congratulations to the following teachers for recently obtaining their NBPTS certification this year:

• Amy Eikenbary-Barber, Spanish Teacher at High School
• Rachel Grogan, Spanish Teacher at High School
• Martin Pittis, Music Teacher at Allen

Burlington-Edison School District currently has 42 National Board Certificated staff members; this is approximately 16% of our certificated staff. The Washington State average is almost 19% and the national average is 4%.  These staff members all deserve congratulations on their hard work and passion to the teaching profession.  Applying for National Board Certification is very difficult work that takes hours of commitment and dedication.  More information regarding the rigorous National Board Certification process can be found at www.nbpts.org.
