The Department of Education, Culture and Employment (ECE) is pleased to pilot draft Northwest Territories (NWT) Competency-Based Educator Standards for certified teachers in 2022-23.

The Standards describe the professional expectations for all certified teachers working in the territory, and guide their professional development.

The Standards are intended to form the basis of how Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 (JK-12) educators are supported through a variety of professional development and training opportunities over the course of their career within the NWT education system.
