Learn more and do more to support teaching excellence in Washington
CSTP offers a wide range of training sessions, events and gatherings for education stakeholders. Visit this page frequently to see what is happening across Washington to plan your involvement and make your voice heard.
The Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession (CSTP) is sponsoring a one-day NBCT Leadership Conference on the east and west sides of the state this spring.
The goal of this conference is to develop the leadership skills of National Board Certified Teachers and provide an opportunity for NBCTs to network with other teacher colleagues in order to learn how to influence education reform and seed innovation beyond their classrooms.
The Conference will provide NBCTs with time and information to think about their current roles as leaders and what roles they might like to pursue in the future in order to positively impact student learning at the school, district or state level.
The Leadership Conference is offered to NBCTs who have not attended a NBCT Leadership Conference in the past. The cost is $30 per person and space will be limited. Registration will open at the end of March, but in the meantime, save the date and stay tuned for more information at the end of the month.

This year we also invite prospective NBCTs to join us. If you know someone who is considering National Board Certification,this is a great opportunity for them to network and learn more about the program.
Come meet friends, hear from OSPI, CSTP and WEA leaders, and help us cheer on 2012 Teacher of the Year, Mark Ray, as he throws out a pitch. We hope you and our friends and family join us to celebrate our National Board Certification state-wide program, honor Washington's award winning educators, and kick off a great baseball season!
