Tennessee Teachers Earn National Board Certification

Thirty-nine Tennessee teachers have earned National Board Certification, a  stringent, voluntary certification process administered by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.

To date, 287 Tennessee teachers have met the National Board Certification requirements which can take between one and three years to complete.

Sevier County is proud to have Cathy Sivyer of Seymour on that list since 2004.

“Students benefit from teachers who are passionate about their work and continually strive to improve how well they teach,” Education Commissioner Lana Seivers said. “I encourage teachers to pursue every opportunity to hone your skills and keep your enthusiasm for teaching alive.”
