There are nine standards mandatory for BC teachers must adhere to. These standards are set to ensure BC’s students are getting effective and equitable education with a teacher who has intention and care behind their profession. This document also focuses on professionalism and maintaining the integrity of the teaching profession not only in the classroom but outside of class as well. This document touches on educators being lifetime learners by continuing to educate themselves professionally as well as mentoring and encouraging other educators. These skills, knowledge, and attitude outline what it means to be a teacher and the teaching practice and is a standard I am now set to.
