Alberta Teaching Profession Commission

Introduction

Created under the Education Act, the Alberta Teaching Profession Commission is an independent, arms-length regulatory body that oversees disciplinary matters for teachers and teacher leaders, much like professional organizations do for a variety of occupations in Alberta, including nurses, doctors and social workers.

The commission reviews and investigates complaints of alleged unprofessional conduct and professional incompetence filed against Alberta-certificated teachers and teacher leaders.
