Professional Standards

I think that the 9 Professional Standards for BC Educators are a great framework and reminder for teachers. In my opinion, most of the standards seem like common sense for any teacher that wants to be a good educator and see their students succeed. I think it is important that there is a standard which highlights the importance of “Educators respect and value the history of First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Canada and the impact of the past on the present and the future”. I think that evidence of standard 9 is demonstrated by most BC teachers since Indigenous history and knowledge is incorporated in the curriculum, and therefore incorporated throughout the classroom and schools.
