Summer Stipends
Summer Stipends
In September 2026, you will receive a school-year survey. We will use those responses to send stipends on a rolling basis in the fall. Summer stipends will not be released until mid to late October.
Introducing the CSTA PD Passport
We are excited to utilize the CSTA PD Passport to track professional development throughout the school year. This digital tool serves as our primary method for logging your participation during both the summer session and continuing education. While you can download certificates directly from the PD Passport, your specific PD Provider may also issue separate certificates as well.
To see your PD Passport and find your certificate for CSPDWeek 2026, log into your CSTA Account at https://my.csteachers.org/. Navigate to your profile and you will find PD Passport in the left navigation bar.
If you cannot find your account, reach out to us at in.cspdweek@gmail.com.
If you are having trouble accessing our account or navigating the CSTA website, reach out to membership@csteachers.org.
Continuing PD
Participants are asked to participate in at least 12-16 hours of continuing professional learning across the 2026-2027 school year. You can count PD from July 1, 2026 - May 30, 2027. The spreadsheet of options is updated all of the time!
For 12-15.9 hours of school-year continuing education, you will receive a stipend of $360. For 16 or more hours of school-year continuing education, you will receive a stipend of $480. School-year stipends will be released on a rolling basis beginning in January 2027.
You can find all of the information that you need on the CSPDWeek Digital Hub below. Here you can search for available sessions, understand the process for submitting for your school-year stipend from the PD Passport, and more.
If you have any questions, reach out to the CSPDWeek team at in.cspdweek@gmail.com.
