  4. What is the purpose the Standards of Practice and Ethical Standards of the Teaching Profession? (Choose one answer – the correct answer is on the last two slides) A. To articulate a collective vision of the teaching profession B. To articulate standards to which teachers should adhere if they are to be deemed innocent in a investigation into their professional practice C. To articulate a framework for the TPA (teacher performance appraisal) D. All of the above

  5. Do you know the Standards? As a preliminary reflection on what are the Standards of Practice and the Ethical Standards, try the matching exercise in the document attached to this item in your module. Once you have attempted the exercise, check your answers at the following website. http://www.oct.ca/standards/standards.aspx?lang=en-CA

  6. The Standards into Practice Each individual will be assigned one of the 10 dilemmas that follow in slides 8,9 and 10. Your task is to: 1) Reflect on the dilemma using the ethical decision making framework - EDMF (in the next slide) and by referring to the standards 2) In a post, be prepared to share with the group how you dealt with the dilemma, how you addressed the items in the EDMF and how your decision is reflected in the standards

  12. What is the purpose of the Standards of Practice? ANSWER. • The correct answer is A only. A lot of the time teachers have the impression that the standards are used as an evaluation tool when a complaint comes to the college about a teacher. This is not the case. When a complaint comes to the Investigation Committee panel, which is made up of 3 or 4 teaching peers, the question discussed is: “is there enough information in this complaint to suggest that the teacher could be guilty of misconduct, incompetence or incapacity?”

  13. The Standards are to be aspired to, they were articulated by teachers to describe what teachers do throughout their career. The Ministry of Education used them as a template for the TPAs but they were never intended to be used that way – there is no way a teacher will demonstrated all of the items in the standards in one lesson.
