Reflection

This reflection will address many key points regarding my professional disposition statement and

assessment. How my assessment supports my professional disposition statement will be reflected

on. Along with how the dispositions have grown over the course of study will be addressed.

Lastly what steps will be taken to improve where it may be needed.

It is important to address that the professional disposition is a statement that reflects a person’s

outlook, attitude and beliefs. It should reflect the state of mind of what that person thinks will

help their students learn. The statement above is a reflection of my integrity and how I will

perform my undertaking as an educator.

In reflecting on my professional disposition statement it was important to address my philosophy

as a future educator. The professional disposition statement is a reflection of my commitment to

my performance, professionalism and partnership to the school, my colleagues and community in

The assessment supported my professional disposition statement. I strongly agreed with many of

the dispositions I hold true to. In areas in which I agreed it is still supported my disposition

statement. It is a true reflection of my dedication and willingness to uphold the demands of this

In regards to how I have grown within my professional disposition throughout this course of

study I believe that my growth is ongoing. The learning process never ends. I have and in the

process still of learning from some wonderful mentors along the way. I am still learning daily

from my cooperative teacher. I have learned over the course that the learning never stops.

Sharing ideas, obtaining new resources and professional development is a constant. I have

learned from my students over the course of study from my practicum placements to now of

success and that there are no mistakes or fails but teachable moments to embrace. Each student is

different from how they learn to interacting and engaging with others. It is important to be

willing to learn and grow while teaching.
