Recruiting Washington Teachers

The Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession (CSTP) is seeking educators to partner with us in a great new professional development opportunity.  CSTP has worked with the Professional Educator Standards Board to develop three micro-credentials and professional development modules for the Recruiting Washington Teachers (RWT) Curriculum, which is a Teacher Academy model for high schools.  This RWT curriculum is focused on supporting “students holistically in their academic, emotional, social, professional, and cultural identity development, while guiding their exploration of careers in education.” (PESB)  Learn more about the RWT Curriculum and Resources on the PESB website.

Teachers and administrators can earn one of three RWT micro-credentials by demonstrating competency of the RWT curriculum, the pathways to teaching or system supports for RWT programs.  A micro-credential is competency based, evidence-based and applied in the educator’s context.  When a micro-credential is attained, an educator can earn a digital badge. We are also offering 20 free clock hours as part of this opportunity.  Join our cohort now.

Benefits of micro-credentials:

  • Focused, specialized, relevant and job-embedded learning.
  • Online platform allows flexibility.
  • Educators are supported by a CSTP facilitator, as needed, and opportunities to connect and share within a cohort model of other educators.
