School librarian earns National Board Certification
Congratulations Mary Shands! 

Dec. 22, 2011—Congratulations to Jefferson Elementary School librarian Mary Shands on earning National Board Certification, which is considered the "gold standard" for teaching excellence.

National Board Certification was created and is administered by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. It is a voluntary system to certify teachers who meet the rigorous standards through intensive study, expert evaluation, self-assessment and peer review.

Shands decided to take on the challenge to make sure she was doing the best job possible for all students. It took her three years to complete the program.
