By now you may know that February 28th, 2020 is the deadline to register as a candidate for National Board Certification for Teachers and to pay for any components you want to take this cycle.
To be registered, you must go to this page and create an account and pay the $75 registration fee. After you have an account, you will be allowed to choose the component(s) you want to submit by mid-May OR pay to take the Component 1 test between March 1st and June 15th of this year.
