2024-2025 CSTP National Board Component Support - Online

CSTP is offering online NBCT Component Support to assist Washington state candidates

CSTP is supporting online Washington national board candidates with a cohort located over Zoom with OSPI trained National Board Facilitators. Candidates are encouraged to register early as our small cohorts fill up early, and must register at least two weeks prior to the first meeting. If you receive an OSPI National Board Conditional Loan, you should register by November 29, 2024 so that we can provide OSPI with proof of your registration in a state-approved cohort as per the conditions of that loan. Questions? Contact ada@cstp-wa.org
