Professional Impact Paper
In reflecting upon this year and a half, I have received a very impactful experience for my career as an educator. As stated by Mpisi et al.

Many of my goals have been achieved, and I have been given the tools to go even further in my career.

As a new educator in an elementary school, I have yet to become leader material, however, I am aspiring to get there. I am currently undertaking the role of Grade Level Leader (GLL) and I am learning how to navigate my role. I have observed a few incidents of unethical behavior among my peers.

It is my impression that trust and strong relationships are built with students, and it would be extremely detrimental if some of the students knew what their adult educators have said about them. The unethical behavior that I describe has occurred multiple times throughout my educational career as an intern, then a student teacher, and finally a classroom educator. I believe ethics is a crucial component in education, and teachers should take this role seriously and
