National Board Certification for Teachers

Now more than ever, teachers must prove themselves in a constantly changing education landscape. Board certification allows teachers to hone their practice, showcase their talent in the classroom, and demonstrate their dedication to their students and their profession. National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) are recognized across the nation as having met the highest standards set by the profession. 
 
The El Rancho Unified School District now offers support and incentive for educators who achieve a board certification.  Any certificated teacher who obtains National Board Certification will be eligible for a salary increase from their current step and column placement on the salary schedule of the El Rancho Unified School District. 
 
To become eligible, each unit member of the El Rancho Federation of Teachers must submit all necessary documentation verifying that they have obtained National Board Certification to Human Resources.  After receipt of the necessary documentation, Human Resources will then verify the validity of the documentation to establish eligibility for an increase from that teacher's current step and column placement on the ERUSD salary schedule which shall be accomplished in the time frame established under Article XIV Compensation, Section B Salary Regulations.
 
For more information regarding the agreement between the El Rancho Unified School District and the El Rancho Federation of Teachers please contact your ERFT representative at www.erft3467.org
