Description: If you’ve experienced CSTP’s Teacher Leadership Framework before or not at all, you’ll want to attend this new session to explore the knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary to lead equity focused conversations with colleagues. During this session participants will explore components of teacher leadership with a focus on the communication and collaboration skills necessary to have hard conversations about race and equity in our schools and systems. Educators will have an opportunity to investigate and reflect on their own strengths and areas for growth. We will model and practice the use of protocols and structures to support difficult and necessary learning focused conversations to increase collaboration. Participants will leave this session with a solid foundation for understanding teacher leadership, as well as practical resources they can implement immediately with colleagues in order to more effectively work together for the benefit of the students we serve.

CSTP board members John Hellwich, Larry Nyland, Jeff Snell and Sheila Stuhlsatz terms have ended in December 2022. We thank them for their guidance and service to staff and educators across the state as CSTP nurtures student achievement by building systems that supports teachers and high-quality teaching during a global pandemic.

As CSTP enters our 20th Year as an educational non-profit, we are thrilled to have current board members Manya McFarland accept the role of Board President and Andrea Gamboa as Vice President. In addition, CSTP welcomes new board members, Mark Gardner a NBCT and teacher in Camas School District, and Vicki Bates the Co-Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Services in Franklin Pierce Schools.
