Professionalism Part 1

We all know the true heart of a teacher is a gift and calling. In order to enhance this natural ability one must strive to be a serious student of life.

To know the road ahead, ask those who are coming back.”
(Chinese Proverb)

Certain attributes and behaviours will send this clear message to the world of your commitment to this wonderful profession. Here are a few, I would humbly suggest for your reflection…..

· Arrive to work in a timely manner.

· Be impeccable with your words, greeting and speaking to fellow teachers and students respectfully.

· Dress appropriately. Always identifying your role through the use of a badge. (In keeping with the tone of the school.)

· Communicate effectively with parents, mindful of other children’s privacy and rights.

· Show prudent and correct use of the school resources.

· Don’t make assumptions. Clarify and ask questions.

· Record all communication in professional tone and format.
Before I close the workshop on Saturday the 15Th of May in Brisbane, quickly reached capacity.
If you are interested in the June/July workshop please drop me a post and I can add you to the list. The workshops are a lot of fun and everyone who attends bonds together as life long learners beautifully! I am always very chuffed to facilitate the workshop.
Live, laugh and learn!
