A Perry Elementary School teacher has earned the highest credential available to American Educators.

Janna Bjork recently became a National Board Certified Teacher through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.  The certification is achieved through a rigorous, performance based and peer evaluated assessment of a teacher’s skills and content knowledge.  The whole process takes between one to three years to complete and it’s often compared to the certifications earned by experts in law and medicine.

National Board President and CEO Dr. Ron Thorpe praised Bjork’s accomplishment noting that teachers who are board certified are highly effective and strengthen student achievement.
