The Professional
Teacher
Being a
professional teacher is
much more than just
having a certificate. It's
a lifestyle! It's an art
form! It's a way for YOU
to touch the future
through your
STUDENTS!
Profile
A professional teacher has many roles and
responsibilities. Professional demeanor is key to
maintaining respect and dignity among administrators,
colleagues, and parents. Strong communication skills in
speaking and writing are essential (Mart).
Organization, planning and time management must be
present and well developed (Mart). The ability and
desire to collaborate with others are important to
success within departments and schools. Willingness
and availability to contribute to the school community
beyond the classroom makes a teacher a real member
of the school family (CDE). Understanding of diversity
and inclusivity must be demonstrated in all arenas.
Finally, expertise in the field of study cannot be
emphasized enough.
