Educational Psychology associate professor Michael Rodriguez has been invited to participate on the National Board Certification for Accomplished Principals Technical Advisory Group (NBCAP TAG). At the request of several educational leader organizations, National Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) has initiated a three-year plan to develop core propositions, standards, and assessments that will define and certify accomplished principals. The mission of the TAG is to advise NBPTS on the specification, design, development and validation of National Board Certification for Accomplished Principal assessments. The TAG will also design the technical manual and recommend and review the studies to be conducted to provide the empirical evidence that will help inform Board policies and practices related to the certification assessment development and delivery process, including scoring. Rodriguez previously served as the Chair of the NBPTS Assessment Certification Advisory Panel from 2007-2008.
