Much of what is written here is what you may call "common sense" ; however, it is surprising what we sometimes need reminding of in order to stay completely professional.
Professional respect can only be earned by your repetitive display of appropriate behaviour not only to fellow teaching professionals but to the parents and children in our circle of influence.
The following tips are the conclusion of the two part series:
· Record all communication in professional tone and format.
· Display diligent supervision while on playground duty.
· Display initiative in a challenging situation.
· Always follow up on significant incidents either in the playground or in the classroom.
· Be aware of appropriate teacher-pupil interactions at all times.
· Develop a keen interest in on-going personal and professional development.
· Join a professional group, or subscription, as a means to expand current understanding and embrace change!
· Actively seek out an experienced mentor.
· As a life long learner, practice and refine your skills of reflective thinking everyday.

About Me
- Carmel
- I treasure the twenty plus years teaching experience I have in Catholic Education in Australia both in the classroom and in teaching administration roles. During this time I have had the pleasure of working with all year levels in some capacity from Prep to Year 7. Due to family committments in 2001, I choose to commence relief/supply teaching as well as short term classroom contracts. I am passionate about the needs of the individual learner and I am continually building on my knowledge and skills through study and research. I am pleased to be able to share this knowledge bank with fellow teaching professionals.
