Becoming a professional
This semester has taught me a lot about what it means to be a teacher.
I have learned, from prac that a teacher needs to be organised, flexible,
have a sense of humour and a lot of energy. To me a teacher not just
someone who teaches children. A teacher allows children to feel free
to explore, learn and grow in a safe environment where it is okay
to make mistakes. Teachers don’t only teach Maths, Science and
English but life skills, morals and values such as honesty, trust,
determination and humility. When I am a fully fledged teacher I hope
that my classroom will be a fun and welcoming environment to all children
and their parents

Justification - I
included this document in my e-portfolio to demonstrate that I understand

This is important as people working in close proximity with children
everyday should have their best interests at heart.
