Texas Teachers Can Earn a Salary Increase with National Board Certification
National Board Certification is a pathway for professional growth and salary advancement in Texas. By successfully completing National Board Certification, teachers automatically receive a Recognized designation and can earn $3,000 – $9,000 in additional state funding for their school, per year, per teacher (90% of which must go toward teacher salary). In addition, certification fees can be reimbursed by the state if submitted by your district.

Program Overview
BloomBoard has developed a micro-credential-based program that enables educators to prove proficiency in specific practice areas that will prepare them for successful completion of the National Board certification process.
The program consists of three micro-credentials that focus on competencies that will be utilized when developing the portfolio in the National Board component areas. Throughout the pre-candidacy program and the candidacy process, participants will have access to a virtual NBCT coach who has been trained in cognitive coaching strategies.
Cost of the program includes:
- Pre-candidacy micro-credential program
- Coaching from a National Board Certified educator
- Access to the National Board ATLAS video library
- Price of National Board Certification (registration fee plus submissions for each of the four components and any resubmissions, if necessary). This cost can be financed, which removes the upfront financial barrier of earning National Board Certification until the candidate should receive any compensation increase or stipend.
Financial Benefits
In the state of Texas, teachers automatically earn a Recognized designation for earning National Board Certification. For each National Board Certified Teacher, a district will earn an additional $3-9k in state funding, per year, 90% of which must go towards teacher salary at the National Board Certified teacher’s school. The impact this increase can make on a teacher’s salary over time is significant.
