The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards has organized the standards for accomplished teachers of world languages into nine standards, which are presented in this report: (1) Standard I: Knowledge of Students; (2) Standard II: Knowledge of Language; (3) Standard III: Knowledge of Culture; (4) Standard IV: Knowledge of Language Acquisition; (5) Standard V: Fair and Equitable Learning Environment; (6) Standard VI: Designing Curriculum and Planning Instruction; (7) Standard VII: Assessment; (8) Standard VIII: Reflection; and (9) Standard IX: Professionalism. The standards have been ordered to facilitate understanding, not to assign priorities. They each describe an important facet of accomplished teaching; they often occur concurrently because of the seamless quality of accomplished practice. These standards serve as the basis for National Board Certification in this field.
