The Tuscaloosa County School System congratulates our teachers who are part of this year’s new class of National Board Certified Teachers. In order to become certified through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, teachers complete a performance-based, peer-reviewed process, demonstrating their proven impact on student learning and achievement.
