organisation. It will be done with the help of quality cycle and the suggestions are also given to
improvise the services. In the end, areas of improvement are analysed as it helps to enhance there

TASK 1: Professional Skills and Attributes
Produce a broad list of skills and attributes required of a good teacher
There is need of various skills that helps a teacher to teach in best suitable manner. There is
need of providing best education to the students so that they are able to enhance their skills and
knowledge (Becher, 2018). Being a teacher of UK history, there is need of having effective
critical evaluation skills so that all the pros and cons can be analysed. It is necessary for a teacher
to have proper memory so that they are able to remember the information and use the same to
study in effective manner. There is requirement of working in such a manner that the students are
able to get best knowledge that will help them.
One of the most important skills that a teacher must have is communication skills. This
helps them to communicate with the students and build relation with the students. The teacher
who has ability to communicate effectively has power of having effective relationship with them.
The teacher must have patience as all the students are different from one another and their ability
to learn is also different. It is seen that there is need of having better listening skills so that the
problems of the students can be heard and solution can be given. There is requirement of having
proper communication and listening skills so that best is being provided to the students. The
teacher must be creative and has ability to teach history in effective manner. This is also

necessary to enhance their learning experience in effective manner. The skills help the teachers
to provide better education to the students and manage their working in effective manner. The
use of all these skills makes the work easier and manage the working.
1.1 Define the concept of professionalism and dual professionalism in education and training
Professionalism can be understood as skills, knowledge, practices that are being followed
by teachers so that better teaching is provided to them. It is necessary to fulfil the job at best
level so that better results are attained. It is important for the teachers in today’s time to carry on
the work by following professional behaviour and teaching them in such a manner that they are
able to remember the information (Altrichter, 2020). It is seen that the work must be managed in
such a manner that there are no chances of errors. Being responsible is important for the teachers
and it is part of their professional job. There is need of carrying the work in such a manner that
students learn all the lessons in effective manner. Teaching is the responsibility of the teachers
and the professionalism is necessary to provide them best conditions. Being a teacher of UK
history, I adopt the professional practices so that best is provided to the students. It is necessary
for the teachers to provide best to the students and enhance their working conditions. By
following the professional practices, it becomes easy for the teacher to provide better education
to the students. Professionalism is central concept that assist the teachers to learn in effective
manner and enhance the skills and quality of the students. There is need of discipline in the class
and the same can be bought with the help of professionalism. It is necessary for the teacher to
maintain better learning conditions so that all the needs and wants of the students are satisfied.
Dual professionalism is the concept in which two teachers are present at a time and they
provide better facilities to the students. It is necessary to include subject teacher and a trainee
teacher who can collaborate enhance the skills and knowledge of the students. The use of dual
professionalism helps to enhance the conditions of the study environment so that they are able to
treat all the students in effective manner (Brown and Stokes, 2021). There is key role of
professionals as they provide detailed knowledge to the students that they can use. The trainee
teacher helps them to get engaged in the classroom and learn in effective manner. This helps to
enhance the working condition of the classroom and to teach best policies to the students. The
role of dual professionalism is enhancing in today’s time and helps to enhance the learning
experience of the learners. There is need of maintain effective culture in the classroom where all
the students are ready to learn and develop their skills and knowledge.

1.2 Explain ways in which own professional values influence own practice in an area of
specialism
Being a teacher, I understand that it is my responsibility to provide best teaching and
learning experience to the students. There is need of following the professional values to the
students so that all the work is carried on right time (Foley, ed., 2020). The values are of utmost
importance as they are necessary for the students to learn and use them in future. I like to have
disciplined classroom where all the students concentrate with each other. There is need of having
cooperation in the class and that is required to learn in effective manner. The professional values
being followed as follows:
Code of conduct: There are some codes and values that must be taken into consideration by
teachers so that there are proper learning conditions in the classroom. This helps the students to
learn in appropriate manner and keep the students better. This is necessary to provide better
learning experience for the students. It is seen that better decision regarding the career are taken.
Values: There is need of working with values and taking care of the performance of the
students. By valuing their performance, they are motivated to learn in effective manner. The
values are important for the teachers to teach and for the students to learn. It is necessary to work
in such a manner that bets is provided to the learners (Lyons, 2019). The dual professionalism
also includes values and helping others to get effective lessons and remember history.
Dignity: It can be understood as respect for humanity. There is need respecting all the
students and teachers so that there is dignity maintained. This is necessary to carry on the work
in best manner and get better outputs.
Truthfulness: It is necessary for teacher to be trustful. I always speak trust to the students
and assure that best is provided to them. This enhances respect and are able to enhance their
knowledge from the aspects being taught to them.
Fairness: It is necessary to be fair so that equality is promoted in the classroom. The
students will learn a lot about UK history and it is equally necessary to teach them about the
fairness and equality (Henry and Lewis, 2018). This practice is important to provide best
conditions to the students. It is necessary for the students to be fair and respect others.
All these ethical values are important and help to provide best learning experience. I am able
to communicate effectively with the students and provide them better conditions to learn. There
is key role of following all the practices and lessons so that he students are able to use the same
