91社区 Principles of Practice, Behaviour and Ethical Conduct for Teacher Candidates
The mission of 91社区鈥檚 Bachelor of Education Program within the Department of Integrated Studies in Education (DISE) and the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education (KPE) as well as the Master of Teaching and Learning (MATL) Program within DISE in cooperation with the Faculty of Education鈥檚 Internship and Student Affairs Office (ISA) is to prepare teachers who are knowledgeable, skilful, flexible, creative, and compassionate members of the profession guided by a sense of social and ethical responsibility in relation to their students and the wider society.
In keeping with the professional culture of teaching and learning, 91社区鈥檚 teacher education community believes that teaching and learning spaces should model such professional environments. 91社区鈥檚 teacher education community is committed to creating authentic opportunities where an understanding of teaching and learning is co-constructed between instructors and teacher candidates, teachers and learners, as well as peer-to-peer and beyond. In order for us to create these learning environments, we are expected to demonstrate awareness of, respect for, and commitment to, the behaviours and actions of professionals. We expect members of 91社区鈥檚 teacher education community, including teacher candidates, teaching assistants, lecturers, professors and community partners to be accountable to themselves and others, and to be engaged, collegial, and accessible. By doing so, 91社区鈥檚 teacher education community is more fully able to share together in the types of critical dialogue, creative thinking, and reflective practice expected of professionals.
91社区鈥檚 teacher education community is committed to nurturing a space where teacher candidates, teaching assistants, lecturers, professors and community partners can all engage in the exchange of ideas and dialogue, without fear of being made to feel unwelcome or unsafe on account of biological sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, race/ethnicity, religion, linguistic and cultural background, age, physical or mental ability, or any other aspect integral to one's personhood. We therefore recognize that it is our individual and collective responsibility, to strive to establish and maintain an environment wherein all interactions are based on empathy and mutual respect for the person, acknowledging differences of perspectives, free from judgment, censure, and/or stigma.
Finally, 91社区鈥檚 teacher education community is charged with ensuring that all graduates of its programs have the requisite knowledge, skills, and attitudes required of the teaching profession and can meet standards of the Qu茅bec Professional Teacher Competencies to be eligible for professional certification as educators in the Province of Qu茅bec.
