CSPDWeek 2023 Note: If you are a CSPDWeek Educator that is attending a Nextech workshop as continuing education to meet your CSPDWeek stipend requirements, when completing the incentive request form, you will need to decide if you want the workshop to count for your CSPDWeek stipend, (provided by CSTA) or if you would like an incentive. It will not count for both.
