National Board Candidate Support
The Hawaii State Teachers Association has worked to support teachers towards their certification since 2013. The original network was started and endorsed with the support of Stacy Nishina who was then the Deputy Executive Director at HSTA.
​
Today, HSTA continues support teachers through their National Board journey in partnership with Kamehameha Schools.
NEA National Board Jump Start
This is a Non-Credit comprehensive seminar designed to provide National Board candidates important information about the certification process, time to examine component and Assessment Center requirements, the opportunity to plan how to meet requirements, and time to collaborate, gather resources and information needed to pursue certification in a supportive and constructive environment. We are excited to offer an in-person session this summer!​​
​
Candidate Support Cohorts
These sessions are designed to help you focus on the requirements for each component and to give you support as you gather evidence and prepare to submit your portfolio for certification review. They allow you to share ideas and get feedback from peers also going through the process. Cohorts are component specific.​
