SUMMARY:Brilliant Teaching Virtual Courses
DESCRIPTION:This school year\, with funding support from OSPI\, the Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession (CSTP) and Dr. Adeyemi Stembridge are offering four Brilliant Teaching Virtual Courses to reach educators in every part of Washington State. \nRegister here! \nOver three course meetings\, participants will design a complete unit-long\, culturally responsive learning experience they can bring into their classrooms. Their planning will center on the CRE mental model: the six themes of culturally responsive education and five planning questions. Educators will use this framework to clarify the understandings they want students to develop and plan for engagement\, rigor\, and responsiveness along the way. \nParticipants will also use the Brilliant Teaching app\, which captures their thoughtful responses to the planning questions and helps them develop and extend their thinking. The app supports the dream exercise and helps identify activities in the Super Toolkit that fit their instructional purposes. Teachers’ knowledge of their students and classrooms guides the process.\nEducators can participate individually or with colleagues. For those who have attended a residency\, the course offers an opportunity to bring their teams into the work and develop a shared planning process. Educators who are new to the framework are equally welcome. \nThe first course meets December 1\, 8\, and 15\, 2026\, from 4–7 p.m. Pacific Time. Registration is $20 per seat\, and professional clock hours are available. Three additional courses will follow in 2027.

SUMMARY:WERD Book Study: Cultural Responsive Teaming in Schools
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited for you to join us as Dr. Adeyemi Stembridge and Lindsey Stevens facilitate a study of their new book: Culturally Responsive Teaming: Composing Cultures of Collaboration in Schools! This is Dr. Stembridge’s latest book\, having come out just this year. This follows from his previous works\, Culturally Responsive Education in the Classroom and Brilliant Teaching. \nThis year we are charging a nominal fee of $20 per person to attend this book study\, and also providing free general clock hours. \nRegister here! \nTopics of Discussion \nWe will discuss the following sections of Brilliant Teaching on Thursday afternoons from 4:30-6:00 on the dates below: \n• Jan 28th Preface and Chapter 1 \n• February 4th Chapters 2 and 3 \n• February 11th Chapter 4 \n• February 18th Chapters 5 and 6 \n• February 25th Chapters 7 and 8 \nBook Study registrants must purchase and read the book on their own. If you want to support CSTP\, consider purchasing through our Amazon referral link. Otherwise\, many local bookstores and online retailers carry this title as well. \nClock Hours \nA total of 12.5 general clock hours will be available for free during this book study. Each of the 5 online meetings earns 1.5 clock hours up to a total of 7.5 clock hours. Each week of reading is worth 1 clock hour for a total of 5 clock hours. To be eligible for reading clock hours\, you must also attend the corresponding online meeting. Participants that miss an online meeting cannot make up the clock hours\, but can still earn them for the remaining meetings attended and the corresponding readings. Please review the Community Agreements for the book study before the first meeting. \nSmall Groups \nAll participants will be assigned to a small group that meets each week to dive into intimate discussions of the book. Please indicate in your registration if you want to be in the same group as somebody\, and we will do our best to accommodate the request. \nPlease email Saara@cstp-wa.org or Ada@cstp-wa.org with any questions!
