California Standards for the Teaching Profession

The California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) are a set of guidelines designed to enhance the quality of teaching in California schools. They outline essential skills and practices that educators should demonstrate, including understanding their subject matter, engaging students effectively, creating a positive learning environment, assessing student progress, and collaborating with colleagues and families. These standards aim to support teachers in their professional growth and ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
