Professional Conduct
All teacher candidates in the Bachelor of Education and Diploma in Education programs are expected to develop and demonstrate the attributes and behaviours of a professional teacher. During the course of their practicum placements (including the alternate practicum and the Concurrent program "experiences in schools") as well as at other times, teacher candidates are accountable for their actions in relation to: pupils; parents or guardians; teachers; school and school system officials (including Ministry officials); teachers' professional organizations; faculty, staff and fellow teacher candidates of the Faculty of Education in particular, and faculty, staff and students of Queen's University in general; and the general public. These attributes and behaviours are expressed in the following documents:
  • Standards of Practice for the Teaching Profession (Ontario College of Teachers, 1999);
  • Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession (Ontario College of Teachers, 2000);
  • Education Act (Revised Statutes of Ontario, as amended);
  • Regulation 298, Operation of Schools-General (Revised Regulations of Ontario, as amended);
  • Regulation Under the Teaching Profession Act, Sections 13 through 18.
Teacher candidates who fail to maintain a professional standard may be awarded a failing grade in the practicum regardless of other factors to be considered in the evaluation of practicum performance, and/or may be required to withdraw from the program. The Associate Dean, Undergraduate Studies (or delegate) makes such decisions after consultation with appropriate persons involved in the case, and after a hearing with the teacher candidate. Teacher candidates may appeal such decisions to the Dean.
