Standards for the Teaching Profession
http://www.ctc.ca.gov/reports/cstpreport.pdf

The Standards
address the diversity of students and teachers in California schools
today and reflect a holistic, developmental view of teaching. These
standards are designed to be used by teachers to:
•
prompt reflection about student learning and teaching practice;
• formulate professional goals to improve teaching practice; and
• guide, monitor and assess the progress of a teacher's practice
toward professional goals and professionally-accepted benchmarks.
