"The larger culture recog nizes the value of our contribu tions. They look at what we bring to the table, and sell it back to us over and over again," she said. Chase sees her dolls as a way to teach young people the value of African-American culture. Many who buy her dolls consider them heirlooms. "All of this culture should be savored and passed on," she said. "We need to teach our children to hold on to things and not throw them away. Valuing ourselves and our culture can help bring back the love we once had for ourselves, which is so critical. to our sur vival." Chase said she is thankful to God for restoring her health.

Eighty-nine North Carolina teachers have completed board certification through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, bringing the number of the state's board certified teachers to 208, more than any other state. "The single most important thing we can do to improve stu dent performance is to strengthen teaching," said Gov. Jim Hunt. "National Board certification has not only enhanced the profession al lives of teachers who achieve it, but it has made a difference in our classrooms and our children's edu I * * cation." * The NBPTS promotes excel- ^ lence in teaching through voluiv tary board certification. It takes ao entire school year to complete, and sets standards for what teachers must know and be able to do in the classroom. To be awarded certifi cation, teachers must assemble a portfolio that includes student work samples, videotapes of lessons and an analysis about their classroom experiences. Assessment also includes written responses to questions about how to teach their subjects. ?
