Research
Since its founding, NBPTS has become one of the most researched areas of education. Research has reviewed the impact of National Board Certification on student performance, the quality of teaching by National Board Certified Teachers in the classroom, and the influence of the process on teacher retention. Most, but not all of the research, is positive.
In 2008, the United States National Research Council a division of the National Academies published a report stating that "Students taught by NBPTS-certified teachers make greater gains on achievement tests than students taught by teachers who are not board-certified."

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
