BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL As we as students become insiders to the discourses of adulthood and professionalism, we must consider our roles as teachers and adopt a professional attitude and accept the responsibility and its implications that come with it. We must consider our roles in terms of the influence that we have on our students’ development as role models as well as our professional obligation to their wellbeing, both physically, mentally, legally and in all other applications. University is a time of development into adulthood and professionalism for young students in particular. Focusing on the wellbeing of child development and the ethical and legal
implications of this, I was required to complete Stage One Child Protection
Training. This certificate has many ethical and legal implications for
childcare in a teaching scenario and has given me a responsibility to
act in the best interest of students and the expertise to do so. This
training is one such way that I have penetrated the world of professional
development. An attachment of the certificate verifying this training
occurs below. I was given the opportunity to exercise my professionalism on my first practicum. This was an opportunity to exercise my role as a role model, accept responsibility for the wellbeing for child safety and practice my professional pedagogy to achieve student understanding of curriculum knowledge. This practicum was an effective means of demonstrating my developments in becoming a professional. Forming part of the assessment criteria for EPT107, i was required to respond on the subject forum to a set of scenarios to demonstrate my skills as a teacher in problem solving, class management and behaviour management. These forum postings are attatched.
