Candidate Support Provider (CSP) training is designed to provide new CSPs with the knowledge, skills and tools to successfully support teacher candidates for National Board Certification. After the training, CSPs will be able to:
Explain the basics of candidate support including the Five Core Propositions, the Architecture of Accomplished Teaching, and the roles and responsibilities of CSPs.
Apply adult learning principles, use effective communication skills, and set aside biases when working with candidates.
Prepare themselves to review portfolio entries by using resources such as NBPTS standards, component instructions and scoring guides.
Review portfolio entries, locate elements of evidence, and provide meaningful feedback to candidates to help them deepen their level of thinking about their teaching practice.
New CSPs should attend the entire training on Friday, February 16th from 10:00 am- 4:00 pm and on Saturday, February 17th, from 8:30 am - 12:00 noon, when we will cover the 4 components of the current National Board Certification process. If you have previously attended CSP training but would like information to help you support candidates in the new process, you are welcome to attend on Saturday.
This training is open to all Wyoming National Board Certified Teachers and will be held at Little America, Cheyenne.
