A Teacher 's Lack Of Professionalism

In addition to these standards, rights, and responsibilities, all teachers need to be consciously aware of possible problems dealing with students on an individual basis. In their mission of providing for the safety and welfare of all students, teachers can sometimes find themselves in situations that may be detrimental to themselves and their students. In practice, knowing how to avoid these situations is key. Dr. Troy Hutching’s presentation (Developing an Ethical Framework for Teacher Student Relationships: A Continuum of Responsibility, Nov. 1, 2011 Northern Arizona Univ.) was an eye opener. He provided the following startling facts: Shakeshaft (2004) reported 9.6% of grade 8-11

In both Erin’s and Jamie’s school, there was a fundamental distrust of the students by the faculty and a fundamental distrust of the faculty by the students. This environment led to a disconnect between the faculty’s methods

This week’s readings discussed consequences for special education students. It was very interesting to see the different court case rulings for each case. Teachers, administrators and parents need to make sure they have everything accurate when taking a case like many of these to court. In this paper I will discuss the five key points in the articles and readings stood out to me the most, how and if my beliefs changed or were altered, and how I might apply the content to the classroom and instruction.

As a teacher, I have observed several types of conflict involving students, teachers, parents, and staff. In many situations, the result have not been positive and relationships damaged due to the inability to handle conflicts in a more positive and restorative way, which is something that DTR and Restorative Justice greatly offer. By working on the issue with the goal to make things as right as possible, relationship, trust, order, integrity, dignity, accountability, and hope are restored, and the parts involved grow and learn with the experience.

The teachers themselves saw the conditions that oppressed Mexican-American children were facing and decided to bring these issues to the school board and made a survey. They were denied, then decided to do a peaceful protest by walking out. Since the school board had refused to meet their demands, they did a massive walkout.

Parents and Staff: Everyday written report was given to the parents for mealtime and diapering log, there was Family Board Bulletin where milestone moments of each child were posted. Both teachers in the class communicated well with each other. The director(Kelly) was very helpful and supportive to all her staff members. At this time, they are short of staffs but Kelly is accepting new applicants. When new teacher is accepted she/he will undergo orientation first before working with

Dominguez a teacher at Morris complimented (AC) about his academic performance during the session. After Ms. Dominguez exited (AC) denied everything he stated that she was lying about his classroom performance. (AC) stated that he likes Ms. Dominguez, she helps him in the classroom and sometimes she speaks Spanish to him.

Lance and his mom were watching the news one morning when it said that an officer were using violence in a classroom to arrest a disruptive student in Spring Valley High school. “It was to aggressive” Lance said. This impacted Lance because his is also a student, he doesn’t want happen something like that in his school or in any other schools.

The person I interviewed was Laurie Kaffka. Laurie Kaffka is a kindergarten teacher at Glenn View. She has worked at several other schools and has been teaching for 14 years and has worked in five different schools, Glenn View being her favorite school she has taught at. Her and I discussed several topics during our email interview. The topic we talked about most was how teaching is not a job for someone who is in it for the money and does not enjoy kids.

I chose to interview the 6th-12th grade Principal at our on-line school for the administrator interview. It was wonderful to visit with her and develop a better understanding of her perspective. Our 6-12 Principal has been an administrator for 5 years. She has spent 13 years in education and has been everything from a 1st grade teacher to a MS teacher. She has also served as a Master teacher, MC Principal, and is now the 6-12 Principal which also includes a separate alternative high school. Her dad was an educator and also served as an administrator.

In order to ensure that we both had enough teaching opportunities we decided we would lead the class alternate lessons – whilst the other worked with a group of

It is this approach by the government, over the years, which has shifted the views on teacher professionalism. The erosion of creativity and autonomy reduces the need to reflect and as the ATL states ‘Review and reflection may be pointless in an environment where the teacher is or feels powerless to innovate, where decisions and changes are always imposed from above.’

A teacher must deal with disruptive classroom behavior throughout their career. To do so, they must not only develop their skills in handling these situations but also develop ethical standards for their classroom. These standards set forth by the teacher will help them deal with their students, those students’ parents, the school administrators and their community. There are numerous articles written that could help a teacher when researching any legal or ethical issues that may arise during their teaching career. This paper summarizes four

The incident in question has placed me in a unique opportunity; as the facilitator of this situation would be best to approach this in a manner that would best benefit the organization, including my department. Although I am already conflicting within with personal and professional points of views, addressing the situation will become a challenge. Despite who initiated this situation or who escalated the situation, resolution must be determined in the best interest of communication within our environment.
