Dear NB Candidate,I am the author of the 3 What Works! books for NB candidates. I want you to know that you can STILL USE THE BOOKS WITH CONFIDENCE even though the process is changing. 99.9% of all the information in the books is still accurate and applicable.* All info regarding the 5 Core Propositions, Standards, Architecture of Accomplished Teaching is still 100% accurate.* All info about the writing styles and writing for the National Board is still 100% accurate.* All info about interpreting the prompts and HOW to study for the Component 1 assessment test is still 100% accurate.* All the info about HOW to prepare the Student Work Entry 1 or 2, now called Differentiation in Instruction is still 100% accurate.The main changes are terminology. For example, the term "Entry" has changed to "Component". Component 2 is now called "Differentiation in Instruction".The format of the computer testing element, formerly called the Assessment Center and now called Component 1 has changed. NOW there are 3 essay-type responses (there used to be 6) and 40 multiple choice questions have been added. However, the information in the book about HOW to prepare to respond to the essay exercises is still 100% accurate.If you are a Retake Candidate, ALL the information in the books still applies 100% to you because you will continue to use the version you started with. There are NO CHANGES for you.THANK YOU!
The book is helpful, but has a very "bare bones" amount of information. Given the cost of the book, I expected more. Also, the format of the NB certification is in the process of changing, so the book is incomplete. I am not sure this one is worth the money, a cheaper book may be just as good. I will not be buying it again to get the ending of this story.
This book has been instrumental in guiding me through the process of completing Component 2. Bobbie does an amazing job breaking it apart, and walking you step by step from beginning to end. She provides sentence starters and great pointers throughout the book. I highly recommend this book!
Amazing thank you very helpful! Highly recommended!Renee (Rivki) SilverbergAuthor of Understanding Children and Families with Autism Spectrum Disordershttp://www..com/Understanding-Children-Families-Spectrum-Disorders/dp/1622127269/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1418769206&sr=1-1&keywords=understanding+children+and+families+with+autism+spectrum+disorders
I found this book very helpful. Even though NBs has changed, I think the information is still relevant.
I am the director of a support network and am urging everyone to buy this book! Great job Bobbie!
Navigating through the NBCT process is a daunting task. Even though the process has been changed, this book is still extremely helpful.
nice helpful guide, but I didn't use it extensively
