National Board Council of NY - Far West Region

The National Board Council of New York (NBCNY) is an affiliate network of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). We strive to provide awareness and establish support structures for teachers and school districts to pursue the National Board Certification process. We also work to increase the number of teachers that pursue national certification and develop effective NBC support programs across the state. We strive to improve student learning through our over 1700 NYs NBCTs.   Our aim is to increase the number of NBCTs in teacher leader roles and to provide a positive voice for P-20 education.

The Far West NBCTs are a group of educators from across WNY who continually work to elevate the teaching profession, strive to be leaders in their districts, and work together to develop ways to increase student learning.
