OBJECTIVE 8
Adopt practices that
uphold the dignity of
teaching as a profession
by exhibiting qualities
such as a caring attitude,
respect, and integrity.
In which practices do you show care, respect, and integrity to learners, colleagues, parents, and other education stakeholders? How do these
practices uphold the dignity of the teaching profession?
As a public secondary teacher, I believe that it is important to show care, respect, and integrity to learners, colleagues, parents, and other education
stakeholders. These practices uphold the dignity of the teaching profession by demonstrating that teachers are committed to providing a quality
education for all students.
Here are some specific examples of how I show care, respect, and integrity to learners, colleagues, parents, and other education stakeholders:
1. To learners: I show care by getting to know them as individuals, understanding their needs, and providing them with the support they need
to succeed. I also show respect by listening to them, valuing their opinions, and treating them with fairness and equality.
2. To colleagues: I show care by being supportive and helpful, and by working together to create a positive and productive work environment.
I also show respect by listening to their ideas, valuing their contributions, and treating them with fairness and equality.
3. To parents: I show care by communicating regularly, listening to their concerns, and working together to support their children's learning.
I also show respect by being responsive to their requests, treating them with courtesy and professionalism, and keeping their information
confidential.
4. To other education stakeholders: I show care by being involved in the community, participating in professional development, and staying
up – to - date on the latest educational trends. I also show respect by being open to new ideas, listening to the opinions of others, and
working collaboratively to improve the education system. I believe that these practices uphold the dignity of the teaching profession by
demonstrating that teachers are committed to providing a quality education for all students. They also demonstrate that teachers are
professionals who are worthy of respect and trust.
