New Regulatory Model

“Raising the Curtain”…

Commissioner for Teacher Regulation

Ensuring that concerns about the competence and conduct of educators are addressed independently, fairly, expeditiously and in the public interest.

1.Employer report: regarding disciplinary action taken or a resignation under the School Act or the Independent School Act. 2.A written complaint: from any member of the public. 3.A written report: from a teacher about the serious misconduct of another teacher (required under the Teachers Act). 4.Commissioner’s own initiative: when he becomes aware of information related to conduct or competence of an educator, including information about criminal proceedings. How Concerns Are Initiated

Employers Must Report: Suspensions or dismissals Discipline for misconduct that involves:  Physical harm to a student or minor  Sexual abuse or sexual exploitation of a student or minor, or  Significant emotional harm to a student or minor Conduct/competence considered to be in breach of the teaching certification standards, if it is in the public interest A resignation, if it is in the public interest

Public Interest Public interest in a regulatory context has two main elements: 1.Students must be protected from certificate holders who inflict physical, emotional or sexual harm on them (intentionally or otherwise). 2.Certificate holders cannot conduct themselves – on or off duty – in a way that breaches the Standards for the Education, Competence and Professional Conduct of Educators in B.C.
