A resolution expressing support for the designation of January 21 through 27, 2024, as "National Board Certified Teachers Week".
SRES 533 is a Senate resolution expressing support for designating January 21-27, 2024, as "National Board Certified Teachers Week." It recognizes National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) for their role in improving student achievement, particularly in high-needs schools, and highlights that 44% of NBCTs serve in Title I schools. The resolution encourages schools, districts, and states to promote NBCT growth and provide incentives for certification, without creating new legal requirements or altering funding. As a symbolic gesture, it does not directly affect policy or individuals but aims to honor educators' contributions.
