The Professional Standards for BC Educators “apply to individuals holding a Certificate of Qualification to teach in the BC Kindergarten to Grade 12 public, independent, offshore and First Nations school systems.” (www2.gov.bc.ca) These standard aim to ensure quality, and equal teaching throughout BC Schools. The BC Professional Standards are a way to publicly share what is expected of BC Teachers, as well as what standards of teaching should be expected in your child(s) classroom. A teachers practice should always reflect these standards to ensure best practice. This means always advocating for the best for your students, always contributing to the teaching profession, and always creating a safe environment for learning.
