Introduction: “Professionalism is not the job you do, it's how you do the job.”

Inputs:

Teaching is the most vital and strategic profession for national development. It is an
important activity which makes the acquiring of new knowledge and skills possible, that brings
about the mark of an educated person. This is why society expects so much from teachers.
Parents expect their children to learn a lot of things when they send them to school and
because of this, society demands teachers to teach well since a teacher’s main concern is the
learning of a child. Since teachers have the power to influence their students, the society clearly
expects more from them because if a child is misbehaving or does something wrong, they often
blame teachers for the parents would think that the child acquired such behavior by attending
school
Research says that the teacher is the single most important factor in the learner’s
learning. The effective teacher makes good and the not so good learner learn. On the other
hand, the ineffective teacher adversely affects the learning of both good and the not so good
student.
Dallas Public School conducted a research and came up with the list which shows the
impacts of effective and ineffective teachers to their students. An ineffective teacher adversely
affects the learning of both good and not so good students. Dallas Public School conducted a
research and came up with the list which shows the impacts of effective and ineffective teachers
to their students. The list shows that the effective teachers have a higher impact to their
students, than those ineffective teachers. Study shows that students tend to remember what
they learn more from effective teachers who performed well in teaching rather Society demands
from the teacher Instructional Effectiveness.
An effective teacher should teach well. This demands again a very high level of flexibility
and a wide range of expertise from the teacher. Additionally, the teacher should teach the
process of critical thinking and inspire students to be responsible citizens who contribute
to society.
 A foundational moral principle is, therefore, the universal norm upon which all
other principles on the rightness or wrongness of an action are based. It is the source
of morality. All men and women, regardless of race and belief, have a sense of this foundational
moral principle.
The principles of morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a code
of conduct from a particular philosophy, religion or culture, or it can derive from a standard that
a person believes should be universal. Morality may also be specifically synonymous with
"goodness" or "rightness".
An example of while morals tend to be driven by personal beliefs and values, there are
certainly some common morals that most people agree on, such as: Always tell the truth. Do not
destroy property. Have courage.

Moral refers to what societies sanction as right and acceptable. Most people tend to
act morally and follow societal guidelines. Morality often requires that people sacrifice their own
short-term interests for the benefit of society. Some philosophers make a distinction
between morals and ethics.

Morality is important because, across many traits, honesty, compassion, fairness, and
generosity were most important to liking, respecting, and understanding. Other moral traits,
such as purity and wholesomeness, were seen as less important; even less than certain
competent traits (e.g., intelligence, articulate).

There are some expectations from a teacher as a professional. Being a professional

teacher means being knowledgeable and enthusiastic about one's materials, creating a
supportive and respectful classroom environment, building authentic relationships with and
advocating for students, being organized and planning ahead, remaining open to new ideas and
continuing to learn.

Top Five Causes of the Growing Demand for Professional Teachers to teach
● Population growth. The number of school-age students is expected to grow.

● Teachers retiring or leaving the profession.

● Growing population of English language learners.

● Subject area shortages.

● Reinstatement of classes and programs that were reduced or cut during the Great
Recession.

5 Core Values Teacher Should Demonstrate

● Integrity - It's necessary for a teacher to be honest with his/her job role and responsibility.

● Sense of Hope for Students - Teachers should always possess a sense of hope that their
students can do better.
● Sense of Urgency

● Continuous Self-Learning
● Mutual Respect and Responsibility.
One of the hardest aspects of teaching is that you only have them for a short period of time
to prepare them for the next level. You do the best you can when you have them.

Here are some of the things that a teacher might find difficult and how to overcome those
challenges.
● Balancing the different learning needs of students. Every student who walks through my
door is different.
● Respecting expectations from school administration.

● Helping parents and students meet long-term goals.

Society expects from the teacher as a professional which are important .Teachers are
expected to promote student's academic progress as well as further students' social, emotional,
and moral development and to safeguard students' health and well-being.
Teachers expect students to be responsible and curious and also want them to follow
rules and do their homework regularly. A teacher should commit to what he/she is saying, and a
student should listen to each sentence and interpret it to learn. But, students want more on the
most basic level, the definition of “professional teacher” refers to the status of a person who is
paid to teach. Who have a firm grasp of the subjects they teach and are true to the intellectual
demands of their disciplines? They are able to analyze the needs of the students for whatever
subject matter they want to know

The top five qualities of a great teacher, according to students, are:

● The ability to develop relationships with their students.

● Patient, caring, and kind personality

● Knowledge of learners

● Dedication to teaching

● Engaging students in learning whom they are responsible for..

Being a professional teacher means being knowledgeable and enthusiastic about one's
materials, creating a supportive and respectful classroom environment,
building authentic relationships with and advocating for students, being organized and planning
ahead, remaining open to new ideas and continuing to learn.
Professional expectations include but are not limited to: Attending and participating in
scheduled events. Avoiding over-consumption of alcohol and use of illegal substances.
Engaging in non-disruptive behavior. Accurately representing oneself, the college, or the
university.
Teachers are best known for the role of educating the students that are placed in their
care. Beyond that, teachers serve many other roles in the classroom. Teachers set the tone of
their classrooms, build a warm environment, mentor and nurture students, become role models,
and listen and look for signs of trouble
Teachers are important in society because they prepare and influence tomorrow's leaders.
Every day, students learn important lessons about sharing, respect, valuing differences and
making ethical decisions. Teachers possess a passion for the subjects that they teach, and
 they also have genuine care for their students. They inspire young minds to play with ideas,
think deeply about the subject matter, take on more challenging work, and even pursue careers
in a particular field of study to become successful in life.
Here are a few ways to do
1. Knowing your stuff. Please notice I didn't say “know everything”.
2. Standing for something. This is about ethics and having a moral compass. .
3. Keeping your word. This is a big one
4. Being honest
5. Supporting others

Genuine professionals practice good self-regulation. This means they

stay professional under pressure. They are polite and respectful to the people around them.
They show a high degree of emotional intelligence, and are careful to consider the emotions
and needs of others.
Every employee should expect to maintain the following behaviors in the workplace:
Display a positive and respectful attitude. Work with honesty and integrity. Represent the
organization in a responsible manner.
Examples of professional behavior include, but are not limited to: Showing compassion
for others; responding appropriately to the emotional responses of others with patience and
family members; demonstrating respect for others; demonstrating a calm, compassionate, and
helpful demeanor towards others in need, and being supportive.

Professionalism can be shown through ways and earn oneself a positive reputation
1. Show respect to others. Respecting others is one of the best ways to show professionalism. ...
2. Learn to communicate effectively.
3. Be proactive.
4. Dress for success.
5. Don't complain.
6. Practice your basic manners.
7. Keep learning.
8. Connect with the students.
And know those in need; be supportive

Professionalism in simple words is “The skill, good judgment, and polite behavior that
is expected from a person who is trained to do a job well” Merrium-Webster, n.d. “'Professionalism' is
commonly understood as an individual's adherence to a set of standards, code of conduct or
collection of qualities that characterize accepted practice within a profession..

Professionalism is important most especially in a workplace or field of endeavour.

Dedication, integrity and responsibility are elements of professionalism that make a person
successful in her field. By taking ownership of their roles and duties, professionals make names
for themselves and usually find promotion, opportunities and repeat business come easily to
them.

A professional is a member of a profession or any person who earns their living from a
specified professional activity. Professional standards of practice and ethics for a particular field
are typically agreed upon and maintained through widely recognized professional associations.
 Teaching is one of the most demanding professions, “because it is an exercise for being
selfless, a sort of self-erasure. It is the exact opposite of the inflation of the ego. And, as your
self becomes erased, you begin to see your students, realize what they are and who they are
and what they may be.
Teachers called professionals and being a professional means meeting standards and
expectations of society, policy and those who set oneself with consideration of ethics, values
and beliefs. An important element of being a successful teacher is being a professional; the way
you conduct yourself, behave and how your professional role is portrayed.
Teachers typically report the daily “aha” moments they witness as the most rewarding.
Seeing students finally make a breakthrough and understand something they've been struggling
with, allows teachers to feel the direct impact of their work on a daily basis.

A teacher may develop herself professionally such as:.

1. Join a Professional Organization.

2. Participate in Conferences, Workshops, and Fellowships.
3. Subscribe to Online Groups.
4. Keeping up with Literature.
5. Looking Back and Reflecting.

models of effective teaching. This means that if he/she has to teach effectively, he/she has to:
1. prepare and plan very well for instruction;
2. execute or deliver that instruction plan very well because he/she has professional
knowledge (mastery of subject matter);
3. create a conducive or favorable learning environment for diverse groups of learners;
4. assess and report learners’ progress; and
5. demonstrate professionalism as he/she deals with superiors, colleagues, students and
parents.
