Assignment Resources

California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) 2024
California Commission on Teacher Credentialing

These standards delineate and define six interrelated domains of California teaching practice. Use this document for teachers to select 1 or 2 standard elements as goals for the focus of the observation. You will discuss the CSTP with your volunteer teacher during the Pre-Observation Conference and refer to them throughout each of the course assignments. Note: Do not use CSTP #6: Focused Professional Educator as it is difficult to use for your assignments and to observe and analyze in a classroom observation.
California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) 2012
California Standards for the Teaching Profession and the Continuum of Teaching Practice (2012)

This document includes the original 2009 California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) and the Continuum of Teaching Practice that was updated in 2012. This document may be used to co-select CSTP element(s) and support teacher reflection during the coaching cycle. (You may use the 2009 or 2024 CSTP for CalAPA submission for V8 submission this year.)
CSTP Continuum of Teaching Practices (2025)
Commission on Teacher Credentialing. (2025). The Continuum of Teaching.

The Continuum of Teaching Practice is a tool for self-reflection, goal setting, and inquiry into practice. It provides common language about teaching and learning and can be used to promote professional growth within an environment of collegial support. Self-assessment data can support teachers in making informed decisions about their ongoing development as professionals. Use this document to support teacher reflection. You and the volunteer teacher will discuss the CSTP during the Pre-Observation Conference and as a reference throughout each of the course assignments.
