CSTP Resources

The California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTPs) are intended to provide common language and a vision of the scope and complexity of the profession. They are a tool to guide teachers as they develop, refine, and extend their practice.

The CSTP Self-Assessment is a reflective tool for teachers to assess their current proficiency in the teaching standards and to track their growth throughout the program.

This Menu of Evidence aligns each of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTPs) with guiding questions from the 5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning framework. Also included are possible ways that a teacher could see evidence of those CSTPs within the classroom.

Teachers can use this Menu of Evidence to inspire action steps for their professional growth goals, to plan the collection of data on goal progress, and to reflect on their continued growth.
