This document outlines the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) for World Languages Other Than English, establishing a comprehensive framework for accomplished teaching in language education across the United States. Developed through a national collaborative process involving classroom teachers, teacher educators, and scholars, the standards articulate core principles related to linguistic proficiency, cultural competence, instructional design, assessment, equity, and professional reflection.
I served as a co-author and contributing committee member to this national standards document (see contributors list, p. 49), participating in the articulation and refinement of the pedagogical, linguistic, and ethical foundations that continue to guide National Board Certification in world languages.
This work represents a significant moment of practitioner-scholar collaboration at the national level and reflects a sustained commitment to high-quality, equitable, and intellectually grounded language education.
