I've been looking forward to a "What Works..." book that gives us helpful tips on working through the 'revised' National Board Certification process. Bobbie Faulkner explanations of National Board prompts are better than any others I've seen. I strongly encourage candidates and Candidate Support Providers alike to take advantage of this great resource! I know I will!

Pursuing National Board Certification immediately overwhelmed me and I needed a plan for each of my entries. Bobbie Faulkner's strategies provided me the road map and handy tips everyone needs for this journey. I certified because Bobbie's book What Works! really works!

Bobbie Faulkner's WHAT WORKS! Series is full of useful tips and suggestions for successfully completing Components 1 and 2. Her advice and approach to navigating the National Board journey were invaluable to me last year as a new candidate, and she provides strategies that I know I would never think of on my own. I truly can’t imagine going through the process without taking advantage of all of her knowledge and experience!

The 'What Works' Series for National Board Candidates was my essential guide throughout the year I drafted and re-drafted my entries. It went everywhere with me. Using the guide was like having a personal coach in the room every step of the way.

Good teachers know what works for their students; Bobbie knows “What Works”for National Board candidates. She de-mystifies the National Board process, explaining clearly what is expected in candidates’work. She clarifies the writing styles and provides understandable examples of effective NB writing. Bobbie’s book belongs next to every candidate’s copy of the Architecture for Accomplished Teaching (AAT), Standards, and Instructions. If you’re going to invest the time and work into this process, invest in Bobbie’s expertise and guidance, It was well worth it for my NB process. Bobbie’s book is the “Rosetta Stone”for understanding the National Board process.
