Montgomery County, TN – Clarksville-Montgomery County School System announces that Amber Hartzler, a first grade teacher at Pisgah Elementary School, was one of 20 Tennessee educators recently designated as a National Board Certified Teacher.
Each of these accomplished educators earned the profession’s highest mark of achievement through a rigorous, performance-based, peer-review process, demonstrating their proven impact on student learning and achievement.
National Board certification is one of the highest distinctions an educator could earn.
It was created by teachers, for teachers, to incorporate the National Board’s professional teaching standards and the surrounding body of knowledge of what teachers should know and be able to do.
Though this certification and the professional career continuum it provides, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards aims to set the expectation that educators should demonstrate accomplished teaching and become leaders in their schools and communities.
