Our Standards

Standards for the Teaching Profession


THESE ARE OUR STANDARDS
The Standards for the Teaching Profession are made up of six standards that provide holistic
descriptions of what high-quality teaching practice looks like and what it means to be a
teacher in Aotearoa New Zealand. The additional detail contained in the elaborations
provides depth and context to the Standards themselves and supports teachers to identify and
develop high quality practices in their settings. The Standards are purposely designed at a high
level so every practitioner can apply them to suit the context they are working in.




The Purposes of the STANDARDS  for the Teaching Profession are to:

  • Describe the essential professional knowledge in practice and professional relationships and values required for effective teaching.
  • Promote high-quality teaching and leadership for all learners across all education settings
  • Set the standard expected for teachers to be issued with a practicing certificate
  • Provide a framework to guide our career-long professional learning and development as a teacher
  • Promote the status of the teaching profession through making explicit the complex nature of teacher's work
  • Strengthen public confidence in the teaching profession
