We have an awesome art teacher in our building who has tried TWICE to do the National Board test. She's done the test, sent in the portfolio, included the videotape of her teaching the unit, and it just doesn't seem to matter. She's a veteran teacher! And not a crusty stick-in-the-mud style veteran, either-- she's had a couple of her pieces in local shows, and she tries to think of neat things for the students to do. I have no idea why she isn't Board Certified.

So if you can do it, *good luck*!
My mother is a national boad certified french teacher. I remember when she was going through all of that. What makes the difference for most teachers is quality peer mentoring in the application process. Without that, you're kind of shooting in the dark.
