The purpose for students to go through so many stages to reach their goal of becoming a teacher is to make them more informed and experienced about their career. The professional dispositions allow the students to know how to behave professionally, be ethically professional towards their students as well as colleagues, personally develop their skills as a preservice candidate, and successfully go through the all the stages to become a teacher. In my experiences from K-12, I have never considered a teacher to be unprofessional to my peers or myself. A teacher who comes to school dressed accordingly for work is considered professional. An example of a woman dressed unprofessionally would be a see-through blouse, or a skirt shorter than three inches. Professional women would instead wear dresses or skirts that are no shorter than three inches above the knee, slacks and capri pants, and blouses that are not see-through that also cover shoulders and midriffs. Professionally dressed men would wear a dress shirt and tie, along with slacks or casual dress pants. Teachers who do not follow this dress code could distract the students from learning. Dressing unprofessionally can also lead the students to think the teacher has a sexual interest in them. Interacting with students in a seductive or flirting …show more content…

The students are assessed on five dispositions: legal and ethical conduct, professional conduct, be aware and sensitive to diversity, commitment to effective communication and acceptance of feedback, and being committed to the profession and improving teaching skills.

A worried student would be too focused on if what they’re wearing follows those guidelines to really feel comfortable and learn correctly. A strict dress code could also take away from a child’s class time, since most would be sent down to the nurse’s office to change, or even sent home. Someone could miss out on a lesson, and might not properly grasp it when they have to learn what to do away from the teacher. A student being forced to go home could also arise a problem for parents since most can’t leave work unless something is seriously wrong.

(Powers) The way students dress inevitably has a direct correlation to the way they act. When a student dresses inappropriately, it is very likely that they will act as if.

Whether it be the display of integrity, honesty, or respect during interactions, this modelled behaviour can serve as a powerful tool for student character development. These interactions are a great display and an example of Standard 7 of APST, “Engage professionally with colleagues, parents/carers and the community” (AITSL, 2011). Students, when observing a teacher’s behaviour have the option to analyse and internalise these qualities, allowing them to emulate these learned behaviours in their own lives. When teachers display and conduct professionalism in the classroom with regard to teaching content in a knowldegagble fashion this depicts the expectation of Standard 2, “Know the content and how to teach it”,

Due to the vast array of diversities and cultures in the classroom, I had to maintain an open mind and heart to all students in the 2nd grade classroom. A specific example would be during Black History Month when, though I had little knowledge of many of the subjects being talked about, I acutely listened to each student tell me about their project on their African American role model for the month. Because I did not know a lot of the people they were talking about, each student opened my eyes to a new culture. Each student possessed a unique combination of skills and experiences, which I used to my benefit when helping them with homework one on one. Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession: Standard 5 2.

A large group of students in the United States makeup a large population of English language learners. Students who are considered English language learners undergo many challenges in their education, and without the necessary support and resources from their educators it can make it hard for them to succeed. A teacher plays a significant role in the success of a child, and it is crucial for them to be able to provide the proper education to students whose first language is not English. It is also very important for teachers to understand the challenges that these students are facing. Having empathy towards the students allows for the teacher to create better connections and relationships to better help them.

One of the most important aspects of being an outstanding educator is developing a positive rapport with students, colleagues, and parents or caregivers. Developing a positive rapport with students can be accomplished when the educator treats his or her (her will be used hereon for the sake of simplicity) students with a high level of respect, is honest, reliable, and a great role model. Most students develop an increased self-esteem and have a higher level of trust and desire to be successful when treated fairly and respectfully. The student is more likely to be respectful towards the teacher and to develop a great rapport with that teacher. Developing a positive relationship with colleagues is easily accomplished when an educator is a supportive team player, flexible, open to constructive criticism, and strives to be her best through open communication and collaboration with other staff members.

I believe as an Elementary school teacher my job is to motivate, inspire, encourage, and support all students by providing a safe, secure and loving environment. This way each student can be educated socially, emotionally, and cognitively so that they can continue to build a foundation for future learning. I will continuously keep up to date in my practice as an Elementary school teacher so that I will be able to successfully enhance and extend learning in my classroom. I believe that learning should be meaningful and should build connections to prior knowledge and/or experiences. I know that each child learns differently, so I will take note and encourage each child to learn in the ways best suited for their personal development.

If a teacher doesn’t like spending over 8 hours a day with bad kids, they can at least be comforted by their well-paying and secure job. Teachers have very a little amount of work that they have to stay after school for or take home. The occasional test or homework that teachers have to grade is the only thing that they need to take home, and that’s very rare. Also, teachers almost never have to stay after school to help students after class or be a supervisor for kids that owe detentions; the principles do that job. But, because they don’t have much work to do after school, they are always enthusiastic and ready to teach.

To be the best educator I want to be, I believe in many aspects of teaching. One of many that I believe in is that every student can learn and wants to learn and everyone has a right to be educated. To do that, I would have to put an effort to make my teaching interesting and to use the curriculum guide to address some of the key factors that students are in need of learning. Also I believe that classroom should reflect the kind of society in which we want our students to live and lead by providing inclusive environment. Having the positive attitude is also the key to maintain positive classroom environment.

Curtis White once said, “Anyone can be a teacher or a professor, but not everyone can influence you to strive for excellence and make a difference in the world around you.”. When I think about what teachers influenced me, I think about what got my stubborn self up and talking. What made them so special that I was so excited to go to their class or school the next day? What made them so special that I would actually do my homework and study for their test? Not the fact, that I wanted good grades because lord knows I don’t have to study to do that.

The teachers, being the focal figure in education, must be competent and knowledgeable in order to impart the knowledge they could give to their students. Good teaching is a very personal manner. Effective teaching is concerned with the student as a person and with his general development. The teacher must recognize individual differences among his/her students and adjust instructions that best suit to the learners. It is always a fact that as educators, we play varied and vital roles in the classroom.

First, by invoking a sense of professionalism, students would learn valuable lessons that are implemented in the working world. Secondly, students would be more inclined to express themselves through other ways not limited to fashion. Finally, dress codes can erase the economic and social differences among students, and invoke a sense of equality. While uniforms in high schools promise many benefits, we should not expect that they are a solution for every problem. However, dress codes in schools can go a long way toward supporting students’ achievement by providing a learning environment that encourages
