The Oregon Education Association is offering Jump Start Seminars, led by Oregon NBCTs, to assist OEA and WEA members in that pursuit. OEA Jump Start is a four-day comprehensive seminar designed to provide National Board candidates with important information about the certification process, time to examine component and Assessment Center requirements, the opportunity to plan how to meet requirements, and time to collaborate, gather resources and information needed to pursue certification.

A special one-day Certification Renewal Seminar will be offered to those Oregon NBCTs who are interested in recertification. Renewal is a personal and public statement about your commitment to the profession and to your students.
