The Standards of TCSOL Certified Teachers provides a detailed picture of accomplished Chinese Language/Literacy teaching. The Standards have been developed by the TCSOL Standards Council led by professors from appointed universities and is supported by The Chinese Language Education Association (CLEA) in Taiwan.

Guidelines on Standards of TCSOL Certified Teachers are provided to all TCSOL approved training centers. Non-members interested in reading this material are advised to contact us directly.

The standards are based on two principles:
• professional standards only have validity when grounded in teachers own knowledge, experience, skills and values;
• teachers knowledge, experience, skills and values are, in important respects, discipline-specific. For example, the depth of knowledge and the range of skills an Chinese or Literacy teacher needs in order to teach well are different from the knowledge and skills required to teach Physics or Physical Education.
