Strengthening the support system for teachers in the process of obtaining national certification
-
Providing awards and public recognition for teachers receiving National Board Certification

Developing leadership skills of National Board Certified Teachers
In the 2007 Legislative session, a bonus of $4,000 per year for the life of the certificate was approved for Wyoming National Board Certified Teachers.
