Circa Society
Circa Society Membership Form
The Circa Society was established in 1992. This society recognizes members of the Ohio Art Education Association for dedication and long-term service to the association. The OAEA established the Circa Society Award to recognize and thank our membership for their dedication and work which makes Ohio Art Educators the top group of art educators in the nation. The Circa Society Award recognizes members in the association with fifteen (15) years of membership and every fifth (5) year thereafter.
Over five hundred OAEA members have been honored since 1992. New inductees with fifteen years of membership will be presented with a recognition pin. Ribbons and gifts are given honoring years of service and for every fifth year thereafter. There is no fee for this award; it is a privilege of membership. In order for the membership chair to be able to begin research on your membership history, please complete the Circa Society membership form, indicating the years of service (these can be non-consecutive years of OAEA membership), and return the information by mail or email by the September 1st deadline to receive this award at the fall convention.

Renewal | When you Renew | Renewal Requirements | Renewal Application | Graduate Credit | ACE Credits | List of NBCAT | More Information
The Ohio Department of Education will not be accepting beginning with the 2009-2010 school year for stipends for National Board Certified Teachers. Ohio House Bill 1, which was signed into law by Gov. Strickland on July 17, 2009, provides no funding for National Board Certification candidate fees, support or stipends in Ohio for the 2010-2011 biennium budget. I am hopeful that this will not be be a forever situation. I feel that there is no better way to show that you are, in fact, a "Master Teacher" than by becoming Nationally Board Certified. We need to encourage universities, school boards, and legislators to recognize this fact. I look forward to meeting with you on Saturday morning, November 12th, 9AM in the Holden Room, at our OAEA convention to discuss your ideas for solutions as to how this policy might be re-instated, what we can do together as a group, and what we can do as individuals. Another reason to support National Board certification is that research increasingly shows that it has a positive impact on students and the community. National Board Certification is one of the requirements for the Lead Professional Education License.
Renewal
If you received your certification in 2000 it is time to renew. Do not let your certification lapse as if you wish to renew after this year, you would have to complete the entire certification process again.
If you are in your eighth or ninth year as a National Board Certified teacher (NBCT), it is time to begin the NBCT renewal process. By renewing your certification, you can demonstrate that your professional practice remains consistent with the high and rigorous standards for your subject area.
When you renew, you:
•Maintain your designation as a National Board Certified Teacher and the right to use “NBCT.”
•Use renewal to reflect on how your teaching practice continues to support student learning.
•Preserve your professional stature even after you retire, leave the classroom or change careers.
•Continue to have the opportunity as an NBCT to advocate for educational reform and champion policies that support teaching excellence.
•Sustain salary incentives (in some states and localities).
•Stay connected through NBPTS programs, products and services such as NBCTLink, the new password-protected online community exclusively for NBCTs; AdvocacyLink, the new online advocacy resource; and NBPTS NewsLink, the online newsletter.
Renewal Requirements
•Your original 10-year certificate must be valid when you apply for renewal. NBCTs whose certification has expired are not eligible for renewal.
•You must be in your eighth or ninth year of certification to begin the renewal process.
•Your state teaching license must be current and unencumbered (e.g. not suspended or revoked). Teachers who are not required by the state to hold a license must submit proof that the school in which they teach is recognized and approved to operate by the state. Renewal candidates who are not actively teaching but plan to establish a relationship and work with students of a colleague in order to complete renewal must meet the teaching licensure requirements of the state.
•All candidates must meet all established deadlines and submit the full $1,150
assessment fee to be eligible for renewal.
Renewal Application
The renewal application window is open from September through January. The fee deadline is January 31. The submission postmark deadline is April 30. The decision date is October.

Graduate Credit
The American Council on Education's College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT) has evaluated three of National Board for Professional Teaching Standards courses. Art is one of them. Teachers who have completed the process (have ten scorable entries) after 1997* are eligible for three graduate credit recommendations, and teachers who have achieved National Board Certification after 1997 are eligible for an additional six graduate credit recommendations, for a total of nine credit recommendations. In additions, if you are an NBCT who has renewed your certification, you are eligible for three more graduate credit recommendations. I myself, applied for and received nine graduate hours from ACE.
National Board candidates and NBCTs may use the ACE credits
1. As actual graduate credits at an institution of higher education (IHE).
Note: Teachers must be currently enrolled for the IHE to consider the ACE transcript for graduate credits. The use of the graduate credit is at the discretion of the IHE and the IHE will most likely charge a nominal fee for applying the ACE credit to the teacher’s transcript.
2. Toward continuing education credits, pay increases, or recertification.
National Board candidates or NBCTs should send their ACE transcript to the school district superintendent and/or school board, school district office, or the state department of education.
Sometimes, a certifying body may require an official transcript from the IHE. In this case, you need to submit the ACE transcript to an IHE and request that it be sent to the appropriate organization.
Note: The National Board makes no recommendations to IHEs, school districts, or state departments to accept this credit. NBPTS strongly recommends that you ensure that the credit will be accepted before submitting payment, because no refunds will be issued.

Congratulations
to our members!
We remember: Irene Suckle
On October 31, 2008 Irene Sukle succumbed to a rare form of Cancer.
She taught art for 42 years. Her genius in the Cleveland and National art scene will be missed, but her spirit lives on through the students she taught and the lives she touched. We will miss you Irene.
