The AAMU/UAH Regional Inservice Center is proud to partner with and advocate for educators currently pursuing NBCT status or interested in pursuing NBCT status.

#ALRegion3NBCT

The AAMU/UAH Regional Inservice Center offers mentoring support for #ALRegion3 educators. Our mentors “walk alongside” candidates to support them “ through the certification process, often starting before the teacher actually applies for certification. Candidate support providers ask questions that help a candidate show evidence more clearly, are sensitive to a candidate’s emotional needs, help candidates create organizational systems to manage the process, locate resources to help with technology demands, and provide models of feedback that broaden and deepen the candidate’s own analytical abilities”.

Let the AAMU/UAH Inservice Center mentor you through the National Board process. You should not have to attempt it alone!

December 2024, here on the campus of Alabama A&M University, we made history by being the first HBCU to ever host a BEST Robotics Championship! South's BEST 8 hubs came together and brought 31 teams who brought their BEST to compete to see who was the BEST. We brought teams in from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee Mississippi, and Florida!

Check out a snippet of our South's BEST Celebration and Competition. We had over 1,300 in attendance, and approximately 800 of these were middle and high school students. We HAD a BALL! We've already began planning for South's BEST 2025! Create your team for our next 2025 season!
