Teachers' Standards
Effective from 1 September 2012
 Teachers make the education of their pupils their first concern, and are
accountable for achieving the highest possible standards in work and conduct.
Teachers act with honesty and integrity; have strong subject knowledge, keep
their knowledge and skills as teachers up-to-date and are self-critical; forge
positive professional relationships; and work with parents in the best interests
of their pupils.
