The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards recently recognized the Los Angeles Educational Partnership's Support Network as a model for aiding those attempting to obtain national certification and particularly for teachers of color.

"Los Angeles is the national model of support" for teachers applying for certification from the National Board, said Ann Harmon, a psychometrist with the National Board, who with other representatives from Atlanta and Chicago visited LAEP earlier this week.

Harmon said The Support Network exemplifies a partnership between teachers and that the uniqueness of the program remains in the fact that teachers create this network for other teachers. Therefore, there is no power structure within this network; the applicants and those who guide them through the certification process are peers among themselves.
