Foundations of Professional Practices
Professional knowledge:
In order to teach these lessons, it is required that you fully understand the concepts presented in each of the lessons. You must be prepared to answer questions that the students may ask, and if an immediate response is not possible, you should follow up on the student another time to answer their questions.
Ongoing Professional Learning:
There is no end to a learning experience, and as educators, it is important that we do not stop learning. Throughout these lessons, instructors will have to review and re-learn about the topics outlined. They will learn more about each of the students, and will thus experience an ongoing professional learning.
Leadership in Learning Communities:
The lessons and other materials from this section of the website has many opportunities for the sharing of materials with other educators. By leading other instructors with resources, leadership in the learning community (in this case, a school) can be performed.
Professional Practice:
Technology and many other resources incorporated in the lesson will allow the educators to demonstrate professional practice. Meaningful and engaging activities will enhance the students' learning experiences.
Commitment to Students and Student Learning:
There are a variety of labs and interesting activities presented in this section of the website. These ensure that the students are connected to the lessons, especially if they learn differently when compared to others. This commitment to students and student learning experience will enhance the students' will to participate and their will to learn.
Ethical Standards:
Care - You have to care for the students when they are in class, and especially if they are handling chemicals. Performing labs ensure that you are giving enough for the students to understand the concepts presented in lessons. By making sure that the students are safe at all times, and avoiding the use of dangerous chemicals, care is practiced.
Respect - There is an age gap between the student and an instructor, but it is still very important for respect to go in both directions. Most will look up to you with respect, and you must be able to look at the students with respect as well. Know of each of the students and what they are going through; respect their private lives and make sure that they are not excluded.
Trust - Although you may not realize, there is a great amount of trust that you need in order for you to perform labs in class. If you did not trust your students handling chemicals, then there would not be so much labs that could be performed.
