Section Four: Alignment to Curriculum & Professional Standards

Introduction

This section is broken down into two main parts; Curriculum and Professional

Educational Standards and Curriculum and Professional Standards Chart. The following

curriculum or professional standards are included; Interstate New Teacher Assessment Support

Consortium Standards (INTASC), NYS Code of Ethics for Educators, The Ontario Teacher

Ethical Standards, P-12 NYS Common Core Learning Standards (ELA, Math and Social

Studies), NYS Learning Standards, Ontario Ministry of Education Curriculum Expectation,

Department of Education (DOE) Claims & Council for the Accreditation of Educator

Preparation (CAEP) Standards, International Society for Technology Education for Teachers and

Students (ISTE), International Literacy Association (ILA) Professional Standards and the

Council for Exceptional Children (ECE). The importance of each standard and curriculum will

be outlined and emphasized on how they represent each artifact. The Chart that will follow will

be presented as an easy overview of my explanations below. It is important as an educator, to

understand how the professional standards and curriculum are connected so we can provide the

most effective learning environment.

Curriculum & Professional Educational Standards

INTASC Standards

The Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium Standards is a model

of standards that assist teachers to give a consistent and high level of teaching across all subject

matter. These guidelines provide educators with standards related to the learner and learning,

content, instructional practice, and professional responsibilities. These standards are important

to educators to create consistency as well as provide educators with a set of standards that can
help them improve their teaching.

The standards are important for teacher consistency and they help educators ensure their

students are living up to the highest potential. The INTASC Standards are defined in four

sections: The Learner and Learning, Content, Instructional Practices and Professional

Relationships. Within these categories, the standards are further divided into: Learner

Development, Learning Differences, Learning Environments, Content Knowledge, Application

of Content, Assessment, Planning for Instruction, Instructional Strategies, Professional

Learning and Ethical Practice, and Leadership and Collaboration.

NYS Code of Ethics for Educators

The New York State Code of Ethics for Educators is a set of expectations and principals to

help guide educators practices in the classroom, while ensuring professional excellence. There

are six principles that outline the New York State Code of Ethics. ​Principle 1: Educators nurture

the intellectual, ​ ​physical, emotional, social, and civic potential of each student. Principle 2:
Educators create, ​ ​support, and maintain challenging learning environments for all. Principle 3:

Educators commit ​ ​to their own learning in order to develop their practice. Principle 4: Educators

collaborate with ​ ​colleagues and other professionals in the interest of student learning. Principle

5: Educators ​ ​collaborate with parents and community, building trust and respecting

confidentiality. Principle ​ ​6: Educators advance the intellectual and ethical foundation of the

learning community.

Ontario Teacher Ethical Standards

The Ontario Teacher Ethical Standards parallel the New York State Code of Ethics for

Educators. These standards have four main goals, which are to create a shared vision for the

teaching profession, to help members identify values, knowledge and skills that are relevant to

educators, to help guide educators professional judgment and actions, and to promote a common

language between teaching members.

The Ontario Ministry of Education Curriculum Expectation and the NYS Common Core

Standards are compared and paired throughout lesson plans. Each ministry makes every effort to

make sure the curriculum is current and relevant. These curriculums provide educators with an

outline to follow and implement by grade and subject from FDK to grade 12. The Ontario

Ministry of Education Curriculum expectations includes policy and resource websites to

supplement and assist educators in delivering the objectives. The three artifacts I have included

exhibit my knowledge and understanding with this curriculum document.

deepen an educator’s practice, while promoting collaboration with peers to challenge and rethink

the traditional approaches to learning. The standards encourage students and educators to educate

themselves on the web and to maintain a positive digital footprint, while being a responsible

digital citizen. Many of the artifacts I have chosen, demonstrate my competence and creativity
