Kearney High science teacher Allison Klein earns National Board Certification
Summary
Kearney High School science teacher Allison Klein earned National Board Certification in Adolescent and Young Adult Science (Chemistry); she described the three- to five-year process and the rigorous, multi-component assessment.
Jeff Ganz, principal of Kearney High School, introduced Allison Klein and noted her achievement: she earned National Board Certification in Adolescent and Young Adult Science from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Ganz described the credential as the highest in the teaching profession and said it reflects deep expertise and commitment.
Klein told the board the certification process takes "3 to 5 years and involves an action research project in her classroom," including an intensive content exam and three performance-based sections using student work and classroom video; she also noted that only about 40% of teachers pass on their first attempt. Klein thanked the board for acknowledging the accomplishment and credited support from administration, students and families.
