Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." - Arthur Ashe
What implementation model should I start with?
We don't expect or recommend that professional learning change on a large scale immediately; it should start small. Start with what your students need you to improve, and engage with the National Board resources that target your problem of practice. Learn what works for your students (and doesn't) so that you can more intentionally share what's working (and not) with others to accelerate improvement. It might be that you start individually, with some colleagues, as a school, as a district, or a combination of the models.
In each implementation model, we encourage you to start small.

Individual Engagement

In 2017, Kentucky began piloting National Board Professional Learning Schools in partnership with the National Board. Schools can use the National Board resources to improve systems and professional learning, whether or not they are an official NBPL Pilot School.

Districts of varying size with varying needs have created systems to support educator growth across the career continuum using the National Board resources. Building the capacity of educators to lead the growth of other educators in the system, districts strategically strengthen the entire community.

Individuals can engage with resources for their own or shared professional learning experiences. Many of National Board professional learning resources were created by individuals who are not in school or districts piloting work.
