"It appears that the most important difference between the most and the least effective classrooms is the teacher, but the most important variable appears to be what they do, rather than what they know."

CSTP is a nonprofit organization with a simple mission—making sure Washington has the teaching force its students need to succeed. If students in Washington's public schools are to reach the high standards that have been set for them, it will be the state's teaching force—current teachers and new ones—who get them there.
CSTP works to ensure that systems of support exist for teachers along the continuum of their development, including beginning teacher induction, career-long high-quality professional development, leadership skill building and cultural competency skill building.
