Composing Standards and Composing Teachers: The Problem of National Board Certification.
Burroughs, Robert
Journal of Teacher Education, v52 n3 p223-32 May-Jun 2001
Considers whether National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification is as much an evaluation of teachers writing about their teaching as it is of the teaching itself, exploring two NBPTS certificate candidates' experiences, analyzing problems inherent in NBPTS standards and writing difficulties in NBPTS portfolio entries, and concluding that rhetorical skill is a problematic, unarticulated standard of the Board.
