Standard #9: Professional Learning and Ethical Practice
0Definition : The teacher engages in ongoing professional learning and uses evidence to continually evaluate his/her practice, particularly the effects of his/her choices and actions on others (learners, families, other professionals, and the community), and adapts practice to meet the needs of each learner.
0Reason: I selected standard nine because learning about merit pay is learning about the profession and the effects of the practice of merit pay.
