, QUESTION 1

1.1.

Scenario 1: Teacher’s Response to Tebogo’s Misbehavior

Was the Teacher Professional? No.

The teacher in this scenario did not act professionally. Here are three professional
actions the teacher should have demonstrated:

1. Use of Appropriate Disciplinary Measures: The teacher should have
employed constructive and appropriate disciplinary measures, such as
discussing the importance of homework with Tebogo or involving her
parents in a non-punitive way. Using cleaning classrooms as a form of
punishment is not an appropriate or professional method of discipline, as it
humiliates the learner rather than promoting positive behavioral change.
Professional teachers use positive reinforcement or academically relevant
consequences to guide student behavior (SACE Code of Professional
Ethics, 2018).

2. Handling Conflict with Parents: The teacher should have de-escalated
the confrontation with Tebogo's father rather than engaging in physical
retaliation. Teachers are expected to handle conflicts calmly and
professionally, adhering to non-violence, even when provoked. A
professional teacher would have listened to the parent’s concerns and, if
necessary, sought support from school management to resolve the
situation constructively (SACE Code of Professional Ethics, 2018).

3. Avoiding Retaliation: The teacher should not have retaliated against
Tebogo by detaining her again after the altercation with her father. This is
an abuse of power and unprofessional conduct. A professional teacher
separates personal emotions from their responsibility to treat learners fairly
and justly. The teacher should have followed school protocols and policies
regarding conflict resolution rather than taking personal revenge
(Department of Basic Education, 2016).
