5. Professionalism and Professional Development
As an educator, I must act in a professional manner by collaborating with colleagues, taking part in professional development opportunities, and seeking knowledge of policies relating to education. By doing these things I can reflect on my own teaching and make improvements to enhance student learning. It’s important to maintain a positive outlook on education and share that with other people around me. It’s also important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new strategies or approaches that I learn about from other teachers. Participating in professional development allows me to be reflective about my own teaching, knowledgeable about new policies, and acquire new resources that will help enhance my teaching and my students’ learning.
