According to the website, the purpose of these standards are as follows:

• to inspire a shared vision for the teaching profession
• to identify the values, knowledge and skills that are distinctive to the teaching profession
• to guide the professional judgment and actions of the teaching profession
• to promote a common language that fosters an understanding of what it means to be a member of the teaching profession.
