Introduction
Curriculum and professional standards are important components in education and have
been for some time. Section four of the portfolio focuses on the link between my selected
artifacts and curriculum standards from New York State Learning Standards, Common Core and
the Ontario Ministry of Education Expectations. This section will also present an overview on
the link between the artifacts and professional standards such as InTASC Standards, New York
State Code of Ethics for Educators and the Ontario Ethical Teacher Standards. I have also linked
artifacts with the International Society for Technology Education for Teachers and Students.
Lastly, the section will consist of the Alignment to the Curriculum and Professional Standards
Chart.
I believe that professional standards for educators help to maintain a certain level of
professionalism. It is critical for educators to remain professional at all times. I firmly believe
that once we choose to become teachers, we make the lifelong commitment to be a model,
upstanding citizen in society. We must represent ourselves with the highest code of conduct and
The curriculum standards are used to make sure that students are exposed to certain
curriculum topics and develop specific skills while attending school. This is important because
students should have the same opportunity, regardless of where they live and what school they
attend. If a family moves from one school to another or once state to another, the transition for
the student should be as seamless as possible. Curriculum standards help maintain consistency
and provide peace of mind for the parents and students by making this as easy as possible. The
family should also have confidence that the educators are following their professional standards
and this will again maintain a certain level of competency for everyone involved in the education
system.
Curriculum for teachers and students also provide guidelines with respect to content,
planning, instructional practice. It is the responsibility of all teachers to promote a positive, safe
learning environment, because without this learning will not be maximized. Teachers must
engage and seek out professional development that expands their relevant educational knowledge

Conclusion
This section provided an overview for the reader. It is a clear and concise overview of curriculum and professional standards
that are linked to my section three artifacts. The chart provides evidence that the teacher must adhere to many governing bodies when
they create work for students. The teacher must uphold their character by making sure they meet various codes of conduct. The
educator must be detailed when identifying what curriculum standards their lessons are linked to. Finally, this section keeps a record
of the profession development and curriculum products I am proud of and proficient with.
The following section, section five, will provide the reader with my reflection of this portfolio project and detail my thoughts
