Professionalism in the Role of an Educator

Every teacher must develop the characteristics of a professional and model professionalism every day. Aside from academic qualifications, professional teachers must act in an ethical manner, based on an explicit or implicit code of conduct.

There are three elements of professionalism, atti­tude, behaviour, and communica­tion. Addressing these areas can help any teacher to develop a stronger sense of professionalism.

Inclusive Education

The Adaptive Dimension refers to the concept of making adjustments to any or all of the following variables: learning environment, instruction, assessment and resources. Adjustments to these variables are intended to make learning meaningful and appropriate and to support student achievement. Differentiation is an organized yet flexible way of proactively adjusting teaching and learning to meet kids where they are and help them to achieve maximum growth as learners.

Truth and Reconciliation

“When the school is on the reserve the child lives with its parents, who are savages; he is surrounded by savages, and though he may learn to read and write his habits, and training and mode of thought are Indian. He is simply a savage who can read and write. It has been strongly pressed on myself that the Indian children should be withdrawn as much as possible from the parental influence, and the only way to do that would be to put them in central training industrial schools where they will acquire the habits and modes of thought of white men.”
