Maryland push to make national teacher certification permanent
Maryland lawmakers seek to cement the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification as a permanent program with salary incentives. The plan would offer up to 2900 annually per certified teacher, with counties matching state funds, expanding a three year pilot that has produced a 72 percent Maryland success rate against a national 37 percent.
