Build a clear, intentional Component 3 submission—one step at a time.
Component 3 asks you to demonstrate accomplished teaching through video evidence, written analysis, and reflection. It can be difficult to know where to begin, what evidence matters most, and how the different pieces fit together.
Fall 2026 FULL COMPONENT 3 COACHING COHORT
The Puente Component 3 Coaching Cohort will guide you through the process over 12 live sessions. You’ll receive structured instruction, practical tools, and dedicated time to ask questions as you develop your own Component 3 submission.

Looking for C3 Foundations?
Registration for the Fall 2026 C3 Foundations course is now closed. C3 Foundations may be offered again with the January 2027 cohort. If you are ready to begin this fall, limited space remains in the full Component 3 Coaching Cohort.
Ethical Candidate Support
Puente Education Services follows the National Board’s Policy Guidelines for Ethical Candidate Support.
I will help you understand Component 3 expectations, locate and interpret official resources, think deeply about your teaching, and create systems for managing your work. You will remain fully responsible for your instructional decisions, evidence, analysis, reflection, and submitted materials.
I do not read or edit candidate commentary, watch candidate videos, estimate scores, benchmark submissions, create evidence, or share candidate entries. All work submitted to the National Board must be entirely your own.
