Synopsis
|Certifiable is excellent and, best of all, I learned a great deal from it. It is well written, clear, and free from academic jargon, with one of the best summaries of the National Board and its work that I have seen. The reporting of research is a model of intellectual transparency and disarming honesty. This book should be read by anyone who may have doubts about the wisdom of investing in a professional certification system for and by teachers. They will be convinced that such an effort is both possible and desirable.| |I really enjoyed Certifiable. It makes a great contribution to the literature with an extensive description of what the Board is, what's involved in preparing for certification, and what a candidate has to do for portfolio entries. Lustick's writing is very accessible, easy to read for the layperson yet substantive for the academic world. and his perspective as a National Board teacher and academic makes him a very compelling resource. Lustick makes the process come alive.| Currently, over eighty thousand teachers have achieved National Board certification, Yet. no book to date has analyzed the process and its impact upon candidates (both those who are successful and those who are not), Certifiable presents the results of a national study that asked. |What are teachers learning from National Board certification?| Educational stakeholders including teachers, administrators. parents. and policy makers will find the answers and analysis engaging as they explore ways to improve the quality of teaching and learning in their schools.
