SUMMARY:Apply Now for a CRE Residency in Your District
DESCRIPTION:Click here to apply to bring a CRE residency to your district. \nCulturally Responsive Teacher Experiences (formerly known as CRE Teacher Residencies) are a unique and intensive professional development experience in which your team receives coaching\, facilitation and technical assistance from Dr. Adeyemi Stembridge\, author of “Culturally Responsive Education in the Classroom” and “Brilliant Teaching: Using Culture and Artful Thinking to Close Equity Gaps”. \nResidencies are designed based on the needs of your educators and their students\, and include 18 hours of in-person learning\, coaching and technical assistance around the mental model that serves as the foundation for a culturally responsive classroom. The 18 hours are covered in three consecutive days using a sub release model. The dates and schedule will be mutually agreed upon once your team is selected and approved. We anticipate selecting up to 25 schools or districts for this one-of-a-kind professional development training. \nDistrict/School applicants must be able to agree to the following: \n\nBecause the strategies and planning model of Culturally Responsive Education in the Classroom must be understood and supported by those in administrative and instructional leadership\, all applications must have district and building-level administrative support for this opportunity. We encourage both district and building-level instructional leaders to commit to joining all sessions and residency opportunities.\nApplicants must commit to covering the cost of release time\, substitute teachers\, and/or stipends for team members as well as copies of “Culturally Responsive Education in the Classroom”. TPEP 664 professional learning funds and Title II Part A funds may be used to cover these expenses\, however\, applicants are responsible for applying for these funds directly with OSPI. CSTP will cover all expenses related to time and travel for Dr. Adeyemi Stembridge and provide lunch/snacks for participants.\nAll participants must attend a follow-up meeting with CSTP approximately one month after your residency experience. This 90-minute meeting is to reflect on the CRE experience\, discuss how CRE aligns with your district’s instructional framework and how CSTP can support the continued implementation and momentum of the CRE work.\n\nIf you have any questions regarding this opportunity\, please contact anzara@cstp-wa.org. \nSee the page for more information and FAQs.
