Teachers achieve National Board Certification through a rigorous, performance-based, peer-reviewed assessment of a teacher's pedagogical (teaching) skills and content knowledge. The certification process takes one to three years to complete. While licensing standards set the basic requirements to teach in a state, National Board Certified teachers demonstrate advanced teaching knowledge, skills and practices similar to the certifications earned by experts in law and medicine. South Dakota’s 2018 recipients of National Board Certification include: •Trey Krier, Mathematics/Adolescence and Young Adulthood, Yankton School District •Sara Lorensberg, Mathematics/Early Adolescence, Northeast Education Service Cooperative •Kelsey Buchholz, English Language Arts/Adolescence and Young Adulthood, Garretson School District •Amy Berke, Literacy: Reading-Language Arts/Early and Middle Childhood, Rapid City Area School District •Robin Beck New, Exceptional Needs Specialist/Early Childhood through Young Adulthood, Pierre Indian Learning Center Amelia Meyer, Literacy: Reading-Language Arts/ Early and Middle Childhood, Black Hills Special Services Cooperative, renewed her National Board Certificate. The National Certified School Counselor certification recognizes counselors who demonstrate specialized knowledge and skills in school counseling.
