BC Teacher Regulation Branch Standards

The BC Teacher Regulation Branch holds Educators to 8 standards of conduct.

I am commiting to the BC Teacher Regulation Branch Standards. Below I have short responses to each standard. Followed by a full document with long responses. 

Standard 1

I will care and value all my students. I will act within their best interests. I will be in a position of power over my students and will not abuse this in any way. My classroom will be a place of open and comfortable learning for all.

Standard 2

I will be a role model for my students, parents, and other members of the community. This is not a 9-3 commitment. I will make choices as they will affect others within my life. I understand how this will affect my students and work to always be accountable for my actions.

Standard 3

I understand all students will be at different stages in their learning process. I will use this fact to plan accordingly, and be able to help all my students. At the end of the day my job as an Educator is to help students learn, I will do everything in my power to make this happen.

Standard 4

The saying goes “it takes a village to raise a child.” This statement holds true within a school community. In order to create a positive school community parents, students, guardians, and the greater community need to be involved. As an Educator I need to be a catalyst in making a true community effort happen.

Standard 5

It is hard to perform without a plan, this holds true for teaching. Planning not only includes coming up with a lesson plan, but planning how to deal with each student’s specific needs. As much as I know about planning my lessons I will not always be the best, therefore I must not be shy to seek out additional resources.

What are we teaching the world?

We can all learn alot from this boy. 

He reminds us to:

BE AWESOME  - People are awesome and we need to keep doing this. 

Dont be a bully - It only makes more Bullies

And for teachers to keep on teaching!

Standard 6

In order to be able to teach something I must have an understanding before. Once the knowledge is there I am able to create a plan to effectively teach the material. When teaching I must be clear, as well as provide the whole story.

Standard 7

Learning does not stop once I leave university. Learning is a life-long process that requires effort. As an Educator this will be embodied through professional development, as well as continual research into teaching related practices. 

Standard 8

Similar to taking a village to raise a child, it will take a community to continue learning for an individual, this holds true within Education. As an Educator this will embody itself in my helping other Educators further themselves. As well I will look to share my knowledge and expertise in areas where I can help (generally the technology side of things).

Education Issues

I am very interested in issues surrounding Education. Specifically I am interested in looking into issues surrounding:

Technology in the classroom

Sport-Specific Schools

Fair assesment practices in Physical Education - See Appendix D

Teaching English in creative ways - Using resources such as: http://www.sixwordstories.net/ or http://whatshouldireadnext.com/

 

Laws of Classroom

I am in the process of working on a set of classroom rules based around the FIFA Laws of the Game (soccer rules). This set of rules is a continual work in progress based upon the cautionable and sending off offences, as they are generally based around players actions on the field.
