CSTP Reflection & Teacher Growth Workshop
🪶 The Heart of This Workshop
The California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTPs) were never meant to be another box to check. They were designed to remind teachers who they are and what truly matters in the classroom.
But somewhere between paperwork, mandates, and burnout, that truth got lost.
This CSTP workshop brings it back with standards-aligned professional learning that is culturally responsive and reflective.
Led by Dr. Jackie Cope, an educator, education consultant, and Indigenous scholar, this experience bridges the CSTPs with culturally responsive, heart-centered, and spiritually restorative practices.
You’ll leave remembering why you became a teacher in the first place and how to sustain that light in a system that often dims it.
