7.7.2 engage
with the
parents/carers
you and how they feel about you (Mikk, Veisson, & Luik, 2010),
although McCulloch, Helsby and Knight believe that teacher
professionalism is controlling the curriculum, that is what they
teach and how they teach it (2000, p. 13). Professionalism is being
punctual, completing tasks, demonstrating appropriate behaviour
both within school and the community, being approachable,
respecting colleagues and students and being able to work as a team
with co-workers and families (Gill, 2005).
7.7.3 engage
with professional
teaching
networks and
broader
community
The Early Childcare Centre had fantastic learning experiences for the
children, the educators cared for the children and wanted them to
succeed but unfortunately from the authoritarian approach I do not
believe the Aitsl standards have been met in certain areas. The
educators that had students on a regular basis knew the children well
with a basic knowledge of their family. Although the centre lacked a
basic knowledge of all students, certain educators struggled with
providing challenging experiences/activities but were not provided
professional development to assist this, the centre always updated
and maintained the learning environment to ensure it was safe, but
the centre did not have a healthy social environment with families,
colleague and the community due to the dictatorship approach from
the director.
In my opinion, professionalism means that I must respect and trust
my colleagues and students, while being punctual, completing tasks,
and behaving in a manner that I would want my students to replicate.
All while getting to know my students and the way they learn,
ensuring the environment is safe and supportive and attending
professional development as this is imperative to student learning.
