Professionalism 1
Introduction
Professionalism is defined as the way of practicing the activities or conduct any norms by
providing high quality of values and skills. Today, teachers are the one who have wide
professional standards because they interact with the many people such as students, parents,
staffs and administrators. One can only be a professional when they earn an education degree and
meet some certain criteria. Professionalism may differ from actions to actions that are performed
by them (Porcupile, 2015).
Some values are distinct in nature and they must be known as acceptable values. The
professionalism must be supportive and be a good listener and able to respect all the
administrators and students that exists inside and outside the organization. Practice makes a man
perfect and it also helps to introduce set of values as well. All these values must be strongly
followed by the educators with ongoing observation. New overarching professional standards are
generally followed by teachers that enables students to get involved in the analytical skills. Later,
these standards are divided into sub categories based on their objectives and guidelines. It is very
important that the professionalism values must be approached in a very correct way. A good
professionalism helps to give rise to several opportunities and subjective taught. One can also
learn how to plan lessons with the minimum utilization of resources. He/she must be well
prepared with strong subjective knowledge that can easily be reflected and portrayed from the
way he/she presents himself/herself (Brenda, 2010).
A professional educator is an individual who have strong subjective knowledge and which aims
at reducing the time which is wasted in researching and finding out study materials. They plan
tehri lessons that becomes easy for the others to read and understand. It is worth to comment that
the educator creates an example for others and also will develop important advantages. It takes
years to develop such knowledge skills that others appreciate. Generally, educators develop such
knowledge by reading and gaining information from various sources. They have worked hard to
gain such experience within the education industry.
There are majorly five standards that are set which a professional teacher must have. These are
mentioned below.

Knowledgeable
Every teacher must have a sound knowledge of all the curriculum. They must be aware of all the
information about what to teach and how to teach. One must know the technique behind
transferring the knowledge to the students in a more effective way.
Let us take an example of a Math teacher. A math teacher must know how to calculate problems
and solve them with the correct solutions. He/she must help students to show how it relates to
their daily life like if it is related to numbers then how counting is helped when you buy
something at grocery stores. As one knows the world keeps changing and it’s the teacher who are
responsible to remain updated and make their student learn about the changes (Epstein and
Miller, 2011).
Aware of Diversity
Teachers must be aware of the cultural differences and the several experiences that affect the
learning of the students. The differences include ethnicity, language, age, education, income and
many more. Moreover, teachers should modify the instruction lines as per the needs of the
students.
Ability to plan
Teachers must plan their schedules of teaching styles. Planning must be done with the long term
objectives and short term objectives. Teachers must aim at understanding the curriculum goals
and the needs of the student learning styles. Likewise, they must have adequate amount of
resources which is required in the classes.
Strong Communication Skills
A teacher must know what to speak and how to speak so that it can be understandable by the
students. A teacher must have verbal non-nonverbal cues. She/he must have oral and written
communication skills in order to interact the students and support them through supportive work
environment (Harris and Sass, 2011).
Ability to collaborate

Professionalism 3
Teachers must be understanding and be aware that learning must not be stopped. They must
build a strong bonding with parents of the students and assist them to guide their career. They
must have good relationships with other many school administrator and faculties in order to meet
their goals and objectives (Peterson, 2017).
Need of professionalism
Professionalism in speech
A professional is the one who speak with lots of confidence and also has also has the ability to
use different language. They are the one who stand as the pillar of the society and create an
example for others. They are usually experts in grammar and but that does not mean they are the
robot who never makes any mistakes or can never have any fun in their life. They have an equal
right to have fun and enjoy. They are generally faithful and lead a courageous life (Joseph,
2015).
Professionalism in attitude
There are certain things that are liked and disliked by many. Professionals create a positive
attitude and help others to maintain a calm demeanor. They help others to hold their head high by
educating them and creating a sense of happiness. If one has a positive attitude then it will help
them to create sound work environment and vice versa.
Professionalism online
This is the one that really matters to discuss any point in today generation. If one can see.
Everything is available online which is properly documented and can easily be searched. It is the
professionals who put their thought sin it and make it more generous and readable. Some
professionals make their own blogs and tweet information what is helpful to others as well.
Poor professionalism
There are many factors that create a poor professionalism. Some of them are
Not letting students to complete their task and creating no reassurance of learning. It basically
means students must be attracted to learn innovations and gather information.
Being impolite to their students and other staff members (Ministry of Education, 2017).
