As an educator there are standards that I must practice in order to be able to teach in the classroom. These standards are important as they have the children in the best interest. These standards are:
- Educators value the success of all students. As a teacher I will be responsible for my students physical and emotional safety. I will do whatever it takes to make sure that my students feel safe and successful in my classroom.
- Educators act ethically and maintain the integrity, credibility, and reputation of the profession. As an educator I will always be a role model in the classroom, and outside of the school as well.
- Educators understand and apply knowledge of student growth and development. I will implement strategies that support all the learners needs in my classroom. I will look at worldviews and cultural identity to make decisions on what to teach.
- Educators value the involvement of family and community. I will always consider the thoughts and opinions of guardians.
- Educators implement planning, instruction, assessment, and reporting practices. I will make sure that my students have a well rounded education and have many options throughout their learning and assessment.
- Educators demonstrate a broad knowledge base and understanding of areas they teach. I will teach my students from a Canadian, global, and First nations perspective.
- Educators engage in professional learning. I will reflect during my teaching practice to ensure that I am supporting the needs of all my students.
- Educators contribute to the profession. I will work with and help other teachers to offer them my support during my teaching practice.
- Educators respect and value the history of the First Nations, and contribute to the truth and reconciliation and healing. I will examine my beliefs to ensure change, and I will integrate First Nations perspectives and worldviews in my teaching practice.
By applying all of these standards to my teaching practice, I will have a classroom that is set up to help all of my students needs to become successful learners.
