Success Story

About NBPTS:

The founding mission of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards is to advance the quality of teaching and learning by:

• Maintaining high and rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do;
• Providing a national voluntary system certifying teachers who meet these standards;
• Advocating related education reforms to integrate National Board Certification in American education and to capitalize on the expertise of National Board Certified Teachers.

Business Challenge:

Organizing a national conference is a major challenge. Aside from the logistics of when and where, all of the content for the conference needs to be gathered and shared with the whole team, and the attendees. Combining and distributing all of the necessary information is an added logistical headache. Where are the details for the afternoon workshops? Who do I call to arrange drop-off of booth materials? Without a central place to keep information, important documents and tasks get lost in email chains. NBPTS considered solutions from SharePoint and Salesforce, but neither were user friendly to set up and use.

Solution:

Samepage makes it easy to create pages to share information with large groups of people. NBPTS uses Samepage to power a logistics page for their annual event. Samepage makes it easy to upload materials, resources, and logistics info to an easily-shared event page. Now NBPTS has the ability to share important information with event participants in one easy to access place.
