Below each Standard are some resources an educator may wish to explore on their learning journey.

You are here:

STANDARD 6:

Educators identify and plan mathematical professional learning goals using the Newfoundland and Labrador Standards of Practice for Mathematics Teaching (NLSPMT) and a variety of professional resources. They participate in professional learning to enhance mathematical knowledge and pedagogical practice. Educators participate in professional learning communities and apply constructive feedback from colleagues to improve professional knowledge and practice.

Standard 6 is delineated into three descriptors:

Possible Resources
	Webinars on Mathematics This site provides webinars on mathematics education. These are free to register and attend. The list includes upcoming webinars as well as some archived content available on demand.
	Teacher Labs: Making Professional Development Collaborative This YouTube video shows what happens when educators observe each other teaching and then reflect together.
	The Imperfect and Unfinished Math Teacher [Grades K-12] This resource seeks to lead K-12 math educators through a journey to cultivate a more equitable, inclusive, and cohesive culture of professionalism for themselves.
	Grassroots Workshops This site offers online professional learning from a variety of education leaders, mathematics and otherwise. The workshops offered are updated regularly.

STANDARD 7:

Educators follow the standards of conduct and code of ethics as expected of a professional educator. They engage in professional inquiry so as to inform, understand, and speak to current issues in mathematics. Educators demonstrate and promote positive attitudes towards mathematics to influence systemic and societal changes in perspectives.
