Introduction
I had several goals in mind when I approached this interview. I firstly wanted to learn more about
the learning and teaching profession, the challenges teachers face daily with students and also
wanted to develop a deeper understanding of the philosophy of teaching that they are using that
work effectively and of which it accommodates all learners in the classroom. I wanted to understand
how helpful the body of the teaching profession in which they belong is. The interview was done on
the 07 August 2018 at High School Hopefield after school with Mrs. Labuschagne (Grade 8 teacher).
For this interview to be successful, I developed six questions which I asked Mrs. Labuschagne in the
interview we had on the 07th of August 2018.

1. What is your understanding of what it means to be a professional
teacher?
Professional teaching. The teacher sets the standards in her class and what
she expects from students. When a teacher comes to class prepared and
well organised the class will pick it and act according. Professional teaching
starts with the teacher and how they handle a situation, how they create
incivility and deal with conflict situations. Professional teacher is trustworthy,
on time, diligent, fair, caring and must always do what is best for the students
and class as a whole.
2. Would you classify yourself as a professional teacher? Explain your
answer.
Yes, I would. I am a young teacher and can easily seen as not ready. But I
carry great responsibilities at the school where I teach and is seen as n
teacher who they can depend on and know I will always give 100% when it
comes to my work. I never turn an opportunity down and have made a mark
for what I stand for at my school. I learn each day and I do not hesitate to ask
a senior for advice or guidance. Being the best is not always knowing
everything but also being able to ask help when you are unsure. I am
consequent and treats every child the same. I am fair and understanding but
I believe a child needs discipline and guidance to reach their full potential.
