National Board Research Project:
I am an assistant principal in Garrett County, Maryland. I achieved National Board Certification in 2018 and now I am working on my doctorate degree. As part of earning my degree, I am conducting research on the lived experiences of National Board Certified Teachers before, during, and after their certification. I am interested in learning what motivates teachers to pursue and sustain certification. I am looking to create a diverse sample for my study. To do that, I am asking that you distribute the following questionnaire to the NBCTs in your network. Here is the link to my questionnaire: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfYBdavINyTzXLsxlSrIbEXWcgGP868t0HgiZavBpdx-T6jew/viewform?usp=sf_link If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you for your support,
Sandy Coluzzi

The School Ambassador Fellowship is designed to improve educational outcomes for students by leveraging the expertise of school-based practitioners in the creation, dissemination, and evaluation of national education policy. Founded on the principles of partnership, collaboration and cooperation with school-based educators, the Fellowship seeks to:
- Create a community of teachers, administrators, counselors, psychologists, social workers, and other school staff members who share their expertise with one another and collaborate with Department of Education leaders on issues important to students and educators nationwide.
- Involve practicing educators in developing policies that holistically affect learning environments.
- Highlight practitioners' voices and expand educators' critical leadership at the local, state, and national levels.
The School Ambassador Fellowship offers two separate 9-month tracks: full-time and part-time. The full-time appointment is based at the Department of Education Headquarters in Washington, DC and requires Fellows to relocate to the Washington, DC area for their Fellowship experience. The part-time fellowship does not require relocation allows educators to maintain their regular school responsibilities in their home communities, while also participating in the School Ambassador Fellowship experience.
To be eligible for the School Ambassador Fellowship, participants must:
- Be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident.
- Currently be a teacher, administrator, counselor, social worker, or other school staff member (and anticipate being employed in this role during the 2022 – 2023 school year).
- Be employed by a traditional public, charter, private, virtual, military (DoDEA), or tribal (BIE) school that serves any grade, preschool through twelfth.
- Have at least five years of experience in his/her role, up to and including the current school year.
- Have daily interaction with students and/or educators in his/her school/district role.
