California’s Continuum of Teaching Practice is based on
foundational work of the California Commission on Teacher
Credentialing (CCTC), the California Department of Education
(CDE) and the New Teacher Center (NTC) over the past 15 years.
The 2010 Continuum of Teaching Practice is aligned with the
CSTP, builds on California’s pre-service Teaching Performance
Expectations and sets forth a description of teaching that
respects the diverse ways teachers pursue excellence in
teaching and learning.
The Continuum of Teaching Practice is a tool for
self-reflection, goal setting, and inquiry into practice.
