About the Author
Bobbie Faulkner is a thirty-eight year educator and National Board Certified Teacher. She has supported National Board Candidates for over a decade and also mentors candidates though out her state and through websites.
I've been looking forward to a "What Works..." book that gives us
helpful tips on working through the 'revised' National Board
Certification process. Bobbie Faulkner explanations of National
Board prompts are better than any others I've seen. I strongly
encourage candidates and Candidate Support Providers alike to take
advantage of this great resource! I know I will!

Pursuing National Board Certification immediately overwhelmed me
and I needed a plan for each of my entries. Bobbie Faulkner's
strategies provided me the road map and handy tips everyone needs
for this journey. I certified because Bobbie's book What Works!
really works!
*Judy Droz, NBCT/ENS-ECYA*
Bobbie’s WHAT WORKS! Series is full of useful tips and suggestions
for successfully completing Components 1 and 2. Her advice and
approach to navigating the National Board journey were invaluable
to me last year as a new candidate, and she provides strategies
that I know I would never think of on my own. I truly can’t imagine
going through the process without taking advantage of all of her
knowledge and experience!
*Jen Dukelow, Candidate-in-Waiting, AYA-Math*
The What Works Series for National Board Candidates was my
essential guide throughout the year I drafted and re-drafted my
entries. It went everywhere with me. Using the guide was like
having a personal coach in the room every step of the way.
*Regina C. Oliver, NBCT/ EAYA World Languages*
Good teachers know what works for their students; Bobbie knows
“What Works” for National Board candidates. She de-mystifies
the National Board process, explaining clearly what is expected in
candidates’ work. She clarifies the writing styles and
provides understandable examples of effective NB writing.
Bobbie’s book belongs next to every candidate’s copy of the
Architecture for Accomplished Teaching (AAT), Standards, and
Instructions. If you’re going to invest the time and work
into this process, invest in Bobbie’s expertise and guidance, It
was well worth it for my NB process. Bobbie’s book is the “Rosetta
Stone” for understanding the National Board process.
