A cost-effectiveness analysis of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) program suggests that Board certification is less cost-effective than a range of alternative approaches for raising student achievement, including comprehensive school reform, class size reduction, a 10% increase in per pupil expenditure, the use of value-added statistical methods to identify effective teachers, and the implementation of systems where student performance in math and reading is rapidly assessed 2-5 times per week. The most cost-effective approach, rapid assessment, is three magnitudes as cost-effective as Board certification.
全国专业教学标准委员会（NBPTS）项目的成本效益分析表明，与包括全面学校改革、班级规模缩小、生均支出增加 10%、使用增值统计方法来识别有效教师以及实施学生数学和阅读成绩每周快速评估 2-5 次的系统等提高学生成绩的一系列替代方法相比，委员会认证的成本效益较低。最具成本效益的方法是快速评估，其成本效益是委员会认证的三倍。
