Professional Standards for Educators
The Professional Standards for BC Educators is guided by professional and ethical standards that are established by educators. These standards, which place a strong emphasis on integrity, care, and respect, guarantee that teachers provide an inclusive, safe, and fair learning environment. They reinforce the value of student-centered approaches and cultural responsiveness while providing instructors with a basis for reflective practice, teamwork, and lifelong learning. By adhering to these principles, educators support social justice, Indigenous reconciliation, and professional development, all of which are in line with the BC Curriculum’s overarching objectives. The Professional Standards guarantee that educators continue to be responsible, flexible, and committed to fostering each student’s overall growth.
