Standards for the Professional Practice of Teachers
Teaching standards provide a conceptual model for effective teaching and establish a foundation upon which all aspects of teacher development from teacher education to induction and ongoing profession development can be aligned. The standards also can assist teachers in reflecting on their teaching practice and its impact on student learning. The document serves as a resource for school divisions in the implementation of the Board of Education’s performance standards and evaluation criteria for teachers and for colleges and universities in teacher preparation.
