Ms. Michelle Baker
National Board Certification is in AYA Mathematics (Adolescent and Young Adult Mathematics)
Certified in 2007
“By going through the certification process, you learn a lot about yourself as a teacher and a learner. The certification requires you to reflect upon your teaching by looking at your strengths and weaknesses. By gathering videos of myself teaching, work samples from my students, and documenting accomplishments, I was able to put together a portfolio to send to National Board. After gathering everything needed, I wrote reflections by answering questions that National Board was asking of me. There are five key propositions by which all National Board teachers teach. By thinking about those five things, you can start to see where your strengths and weaknesses are. I feel like after going through this process, I am a better teacher than I was before.” –Michelle Baker

Ms. Melissa Bush
National Board Certification is in AYA Science (Adolescent and Young Adult Science)

“Obtaining National Board Certification was a rigorous process that required providing evidence of exemplary teaching methods to assessors from across the nation. Videotapes of my classroom, student work samples, and science content assessments were all type of evidence that were provided. I am very humbled to be designated as an exemplary teacher. I was one of the first science teachers in the state of Oklahoma to receive National Board Certification.” –Melissa Bush
