Dr. Castro, NBCT

Approaching Salt Lake City International Airport, I was treated to a breathtaking view of Utah’s snow-capped mountains. There’s something magical about seeing the stunning peaks from above — nature showing off in the most spectacular way. What an unforgettable welcome to Utah!

This Christmas Day in 2024, I'm cherishing precious time with my incredible 88-year-old mom. Spending the holiday together, reflecting on memories we've shared, and creating new ones is the perfect way to celebrate the season.

Wow! I woke up this morning to incredible news—I have officially MAINTAINED my status as a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT)! #thankful #blessed #grateful #NBCTstrong #nbpts #nmnbct #forevergrateful #foreverthankful #gratefulheart #thankfulgratefulblessed

In a recent Senate hearing on Teacher Pay, John Arthur, NBCT, captivated senators with a striking comparison: Just as conductors elevate orchestras, National Board Certified Teachers uplift entire schools. His powerful testimony championed the impact of NBCTs across the nation.

Anyone recognize these? If you're old enough to remember Friday night @blockbuster runs then you know that these are VHS tapes--the only option for submitting our video components in 2004. No email or uploading for us back then. Instead it was snail mail and the infamous Big Cardboard Box. Times have certainly changed, but what hasn't is the value of @NBPTS certification for students, teachers, and schools. There's no better PD for teachers and no better way to improve outcomes for students. That's why I'm more #NBCTProud than ever to be an @HIDOE808, @808nbcts, and #NTOY23 NBCT during this year's #TeamNBCT Week.

It's #TeamNBCT week! Our chance to say we love all our NBCTs! We want to celebrate all the National Board Certified Teachers across the country! Here is a list of everything happening this week!

It is so sad that we still have to deal with these situations, but this school leader deserves his due for his efforts to protect his students. Straight up hero!

California announced legislation to reward National Board Certification and support educators going through the process. $250,000,000 will be appropriated for the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards Certification Incentive Program Learn more hubs.ly/Q02f6rqr0

A favorite #naespNDP tradition is the ringing of the bells in honor of the children they serve. These 37 NDPs join 2,290 fellow school leaders who have been recognized in the program’s 40-year history. Welcome to the NDP family! Once an NDP, always an NDP! #ThankAPrincipal

The trip to the U.S. Department of Education is complete! Thank you to our distinguished principals for sharing your stories today. Your voice and advocacy are so important in ensuring policies are in place that prioritize student and educator success. #naespNDP #ThankAPrincipal

@EdKrassen The similarities of all human beings are far greater than the differences. We should all set an example and model the behavior for ALL our students to visually see. I ❤️❤️❤️ this post!

Today after Mitch McConnell had what seemed like some sort of medical incident, President Biden called him to make sure he was doing well. Biden and McConnell are from opposite ends of the political spectrum. They have been going at each other politically for decades. But today it was one human being caring about the well being of another human being. It’s the way we should all act toward one another.
