The Consortium of Accomplished Educators supports candidates in all phases of pursuing National Board Certification. During the Recruitment Phase, The Consortium of Accomplished Educators provides pre-candidacy support, including information sessions and a program designed to recruit a diverse group of National Board candidates. The Service Phase support includes an assessment of needs and professional developments. National Board of Certified Teachers provides all services including coaching, mentoring, a plan of action for advocacy, and Maintenance of Certification support.
