“most critical elements of teacher professionalism can be classified into three categories: attitude, behavior, and communication” (Kramer, 2003). Other aspects of professionalism are punctuality, engaging with other teachers, respect, and appearance.

I have always wanted to help people in some way, yet I was not sure of what area or angle to go with my humanitarian instincts. While at University, two of my professors would continually express their feelings on what an impact I would make as a teacher. This planted the seed. I later became pregnant with and gave birth to my daughter. When you are pregnant and have children you have many worries and

four hours labouring over a 30-minute lesson plan to introduce a picture book to a group of Grade two students. All useful, though not all necessary.

Sure, we had a guest speaker come in to discuss “disciplining the difficult child,” and various strategies for classroom management were offered to us by our
powerful policy made to withdraw other?s own culture and make it forgotten or even dismissed so as to dominate and place its force over the world.
