⭐ Puente NBCT Group Coaching: 2026 Cohort
Structure. Support. Connection.
Your path to a confident, organized, and successful NBCT journey.
🌉 Who This Program Is For
Educators pursuing National Board Certification in 2026-2027 who want to stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling clear, prepared, and supported—especially with Component 3 (videos + analysis) and Component 4 (assessment + data).
This cohort is perfect for you if:
- You want structure
- You prefer starting early and staying ahead
- You struggle to interpret what NBPTS really wants
- You want accountability, community, and a coach to help you stay focused
- You’re committed to doing high-quality work, but don’t want to figure it all out alone
- You value templates, planning tools, and clear examples
- You’re an educator in any certificate area (with special expertise available if you’re ENL, Literacy, ELA, or Elementary)
If you’re a “planner” who loves clarity, checklists, and guidance → you’re the ideal fit.
