Principal survey ratings (Table 15) from 39 elementary and 11 high school principals who had board-certified teachers. Between 39 and 55 percent rated board-certified teachers extraordinary versus 45 to 73 percent rating other teachers very good.

"In general, principals rated board-certified teachers as "extraordinary" and other experienced teachers as "very good." For example, regarding whether teachers know the subject and how to teach it, 47 percent of the elementary principals rated board-certified teachers as "extraordinary," versus only 23 percent of other experienced teachers."
