Educators need clear career paths and insight into their performance — what’s working, what isn’t, and what they need to do differently.
Let them personalize their own improvement plans and you’ll empower them to reach students in ever more meaningful ways.

Elevating teaching, empowering teachers
National Board Certification
Teacher evaluations like the one we score for the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards help develop, retain, and recognize accomplished teachers.
Evaluating new teachers
It’s no small feat ensuring that every teacher in the school, district, and state is teaching at the same high level. Working closely with educators, Pearson offers dynamic teacher licensing testing and performance assessments to help states manage teacher quality.
