ESPB square logo Remember why we are doing all of this work...

 

The Education Standards and Practices Board is the independent educator licensing board responsible for educator licensure, determining approval of teacher education programs for North Dakota's colleges and universities, professional staff development, and monitoring the profession through the educator's code of ethics and professional practices.

The Board, appointed by the Governor, is comprised of educators, administrators, school board members, teacher educators, and is committed to assuring highly qualified educators for ALL North Dakota students through monthly meetings held at the State Capitol in Bismarck.

We have hope to have included all the information you might be seeking, but if you don't find what you need or you require more detail, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Janet Placek Welk

Executive Director
