“The professional practice of all Alberta teachers is guided by the Teaching Quality Standard (TQS). This standard is the basis for certification of all Alberta teachers and holds them accountable to the profession and to the Minister of Education.”
In 2008, a sixth competency was added: Applying Foundational Knowledge about First Nations, Métis and Inuit. As it is important for all teachers to keep up to date with their professional practice, the TQS is an important document that I will be referencing throughout this course.
