Teaching standards — Anglophone School District

The New Brunswick Standards of Practice for Teachers (Anglophone Sector) outline the knowledge, skills, values, and personal commitment expected of teachers in the province who complete a B.Ed. program.

These standards have been developed collaboratively between New Brunswick’s Anglophone School Districts, the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, New Brunswick Teachers’ Association and the faculties of education at the province’s English-language universities:

• St Thomas University
• University of New Brunswick (Saint John and Fredericton) 
• Crandall University

The standards help guide teacher education programs at New Brunswick’s English-language universities, shaping course content and evaluation processes to ensure graduates are well-equipped to meet the needs of New Brunswick’s students. The standards also guide professional development and support teachers in their professional growth and practice.

These standards of practice encompass the foundational knowledge and actionable practices required to foster excellence in teaching, ensuring that educators are equipped to meet the diverse needs of students and advance their professional growth, in various areas including:

• planning and instruction
• assessment, evaluation and reporting
• safe and positive learning environments
• valuing diversity, inclusion and equity
• relationships and engagement
• expectations of students
• professional growth
• professionalism
