BY GEZIM SUKA

2. Teaching as a Profession
 Standards :
Critique the roles and responsibilities of teachers
1 – Analyze professional and ethical behavior and qualities
expected of teachers.
2 – Examine the importance of non-instructional duties and
responsibilities of teachers.

3. Discussion
Describe your definition of a
professional teacher.

4. Professional teachers
 A professional is defined not by the job a
person is in but by the way that person
does his or her job.
 A professional teacher is someone who,
without supervision or regulation:
 Is a responsible person
 Has a continuing growth plan to
achieve competence
 Strives continuously to raise the level
of each new group of students

5. Role Model
 A professional teacher is a role model.
 He or she must model proper manners, dress, behavior
and ethics at all times

6. Commitment to Quality
 A professional teacher is never satisfied with an
average performance.
 He/she must research and plan each lesson fully
to give the students the best lesson possible.

7. Commitment to Learning
 A professional teacher’s education does not stop
with his/her degree.
 He/she must continually be aware of best
practices in the field, including new teaching
methods and materials.
 This involves to continue learning through
classes, workshops, conferences, in-service
meetings, books, journals, tapes, and advanced
degrees, professional development, and joining
professional organizations.

8. Commitment to Students
 A professional teacher will always get to
know his or her students.
 He or she will listen to students’ problems,
questions, and concerns and treat every
student with respect.

9. Competence
 Although requirements vary from country to country,
all countries have professional standards for teachers.
 Most require a bachelor’s degree with a teaching major
and basic testing for certification.
 Most countries require that teachers work toward a
master’s degree within a specific time period.
 Teachers must also attend mandatory professional
training sessions.

10. The Four Beliefs of an
Effective Teacher
 It is the teacher who makes the difference in
the classroom.
 By far the most important factor in school
learning is the ability of the teacher.
 There is an extensive body of knowledge
about teaching that must be known by the
teacher.
 The teacher must be a decision maker able to
translate the body of knowledge about
teaching into increased student learning.

11. A Positive Attitude
 Even though teacher’s are often frustrated,
overworked and under-paid, they must
remember that they chose their profession
because they love their students and their
content area.
 A school is no place for complaints and
negativity.

12. Discussion
What contributes to negative
attitudes in teachers?
How can you deal with your
negative attitudes?
How can you deal with negative
attitudes in others?

13. Expectations in the
Classroom
 Professional classroom conduct is difficult to
define because regions and situations dictate
different behavior.
 A teacher should be sensitive to the
demographics of the class as well as
socioeconomic differences.
 Teachers should be able to act rationally with
thought in volatile situations while still
maintaining good communication.

14. Out of the Classroom
 Conduct beyond the classroom should be
reasonable. The teacher should be aware that he or
she is always in the spotlight.
 While educators aren’t expected to treat all situations
like they would in a classroom, they should be aware
that their actions are noted by the community and
reflect on the profession.

15. Discussion
What is acceptable teacher
conduct in the classroom?
What is unacceptable teacher
conduct in the classroom?
What is unacceptable teacher
conduct outside the classroom?
Why?

16. Maintain a Professional
Image
 As part of a professional image, teachers should
be good role models to students.
 Language and actions should reflect adult
behavior and be honorable and fair.
 Because they are in the public eye, teachers
should always be aware of their actions and
behave ethically.

17. Professional Teachers
 The professional educator is always learning and
growing.
 The professional educator learns how to promote
student growth.

18. Effective Teaching to
Promote Student Growth Is:
Seeing that students perform at or above
expectations
 Solving problems so students receive the best
possible services
 Using research-based and technological
advancements
 Applying higher-order learning skills
 Applying increasingly complex learning tasks
 Using cooperative learning
 Using differentiated instruction
 Applying classroom management research

19. The effective teacher dresses
appropriately as a
professional teacher to
model success.
As you are dressed, so shall you be perceived;
and as you are perceived,
so shall you be treated.

20. Discussion
 What do you consider acceptable
teacher dress in and out of the
classroom?
 What do you consider
unacceptable teacher dress in and
out of the classroom?

21. What is Appropriate Dress?
You expect your students to use appropriate English,
write papers using an appropriate form, and
display appropriate behavior and manners.
RIGHT?
Then you should understand
about appropriate dress.

22. Discussion
 How are you able to bring “real life”
links to student learning into the
classroom?
 What does a good classroom
environment look like?
 How important is the appearance
and arrangement of the room to
student learning?

23. This is Not Professional
Teaching:
 Read the assigned chapters
 Answer the questions at the end of the chapter
 Sit and take lecture notes
 Watch a video with no
defined observation plan
 Complete a worksheet
 Take a test to measure
rote learning

24. The Professional teacher Recognizes
the Importance of Knowledge
 Knowledge is power.
 Power is the ability to do things.
 The more knowledge a person has, the more the person is
able to accomplish.
 Knowledge gives a person options. – As more knowledge
is added, more learning takes place, more options are
generated, and more power to accomplish is unleashed.

25. Professional teachers Make
Good Use of Time
 The Professional Educator makes good use of instructional
time in the following ways:
 Follows lesson plans
 Focuses student attention
 Communicates the purpose of each lesson
 Sets high expectations for student achievement
 Uses materials, media, and technology appropriately
 Provides logically sequenced instruction
 Allows for individual student differences
 Continuously evaluates and improves classroom instruction

26. Administrative
Responsibilities
 Professional educators should be well organized
and keep accurate records of grades and student
behavior.
 They should be aware of all deadlines and adhere
to their administrative duties in the school.

27. Rewards Go to Those Who. .
.
 Have the knowledge
 Have the power
 Have options
 Can make choices
 Have control
 Continue to learn

28. And finally
 I have come to a frightening
conclusion .

29. I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a teacher I possess tremendous power to make a
child’s life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations it is my response that decides whether a
crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child
humanized or dehumanized.

30. BUT, REALISTICALLY, CAN
YOU REALLY MAKE A
DIFFERENCE? YES!
I AM ONLY ONE, BUT STILL I AM ONE.
I CANNOT DO EVERYTHING BUT STILL I
CAN DO SOMETHING.
I WILL NOT REFUSE TO DO THE
SOMETHING I CAN DO.

31. One hundred years from
now it will not matter
What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
How much I had in the bank account,
Or what my clothes looked like.
But the world will be a better
place because I was important
in the life of a child.

32. Thanking you
Teacher
