Being a Professional Teacher
Question 1
1.1 Professionalism in Teaching Scenarios
Scenario 1: Tebogo and the Teacher's Punishment
No, the teacher did not act professionally.
Three examples of professional actions the teacher should have demonstrated;
1. Use appropriate disciplinary methods
The teacher could have opted for a non-punitive approach by offering counseling
or engaging with Tebogo to understand why she didn’t do her homework instead
of detaining her for two hours and making her clean classrooms.
2. Handle confrontations calmly
When Tebogo’s father confronted the teacher, the teacher should have remained
calm, listened to the parent's concerns, and responded professionally instead of
engaging in physical violence.
3. Avoid retaliation
