TASK 1
1.1: Define professionalism and dual professional in education and training

1.2: Influence of professional values
Teachers should be very careful in the performing what he or she is doing as it will
impact the students and also to make sure of fulfilling the commitments that he is making to the
students. Because once a student observes that teacher is not fulfilling and sticking to its words
then students will also start to do the same. Because some students are dull and weak and they
are not able to keep up with the pace, so it is the responsibility of the teachers to keep them with
the other students by giving more attention to them. Teachers should not put emphasis on
teaching but they should also give attention to self learning and development on a continuous
basis also. Also the teachers should also have a mindset of learning from their students also.

Teachers possess diverse professional standards on the basis of interactions with
colleagues, parents, community members, colleagues, students, staff and administrators. The
primary step for becoming a professional is to get a degree in the related field and meeting the
state licensing standards (Avalos, 2011). Although the actions related to the professionals may
differ, there are few standards that are common among all the professionals.
Knowledge: teachers must possess a proper understanding of the of the curriculum they
are teaching to the students and must have the skills to transfer the knowledge to the students in
an appropriate way. For example an elementary maths teacher should possess knowledge
regarding the problems related to the study matter and must have skills to solve the problems and
ability to show to the students how to solve them by using the examples relating to their lives,
such as counting change at a general store.
Teachers should have a proper understanding regarding the various cultural differences
among the students and how various life experiences can affect the learning ability of the

students like variations in quality, language and change and teachers should possess skills to
modify their instructions according to the requirements and need of the students.
Strong skills of communication: a teacher which is professionally working must possess
strong communication skills as it is the most significant skill that the teachers should possess in
order to transfer their knowledge to the students. This skills include being capable to use both the
non verbal and verbal cues along with written communication skills for encouraging interactions
with students.
Ability to plan: Teachers must have the ability to properly plan their teaching by taking
into consideration both the long term and short term goals with the understanding of the
curriculum, needs of student and learning style. They are also needed to have the required
resources before they are before it is applicable in the classes.
Ability to collaborate: Professional teachers must have an understanding that learning is
not limited to classrooms. Teachers must build an healthy relationships with the with the care
takers and parents in order to help students.
