Decatur City Schools is proud to have 15 National Board Certified teachers. National Board Certification is a demonstration of a candidate's teaching practice as measured against high and rigorous standards.  It is a symbol of commitment to excellence in teaching.  When a teacher achieves a National Board certificate, it's a credential attesting to the fact a teacher has been assessed by his or her peers as one who is accomplished, makes sound professional judgments about student learning, and acts effectively with those judgments. Decatur City Schools expects to have many more National Board Certified teachers in the future.
