QUESTION 1 [36] 1.1 Read the following scenarios and indicate
whether the teacher acted professionally or not in each scenario.
If your answer is yes, give three (3) examples indicating the
teacher���s professional actions and if your answer is no,
give three examples of professional actions the teacher should
have demonstrated. (21) Scenario 1: Tebogo did not do her
homework and her teacher punished her by detaining her at
school for two hours. During that time she cleaned the
classrooms. When she went back home and told her father about
it, her father became furious. The following morning, when
Tebogo’s father took her to school, he angrily confronted the
teacher and then slapped him. The teacher then slapped the
parent and there was a huge commotion. After the commotion
when Tebogo’s father was gone, the teacher detained Tebogo
again to get back at her father. Scenario 2: Comrade Fire does
not compromise when it comes to her political affiliation. She is a
teacher at Phiri High School. She goes to work wearing her
political regalia. When she makes announcements at the
assembly, in her school, she starts by chanting the political
slogans and encourages the learners to chant with her. The
slogans are sometimes offensive to other teachers and learners.
She also uses her class time to recruit and encourage learners to
join her political party. Scenario 3: Mr Complainer is the
administrator of the Proud Secondary School Facebook page.
One of the subscribers of the school’s Facebook page, introduced
bullying as a topic for discussion. Mr Complainer indicated there
was a lot of bullying at the school by the management and the
, school need interventions to deal with bullying. 1.2 Read the
below passage and respond to the given questions. Mrs Tall a
grade 12 physical science teacher, was polite and friendly to her
learners, but it was clear she wasn’t trying to be the learners’
friend. For instance, she used the formal pronoun for addressing
the group of learners, which is unusual in this situation. Maybe
she thought using somewhat formal language added to creating a
professional work environment, and he might have hoped this
would make learners pay more attention in class. The teacher
seemed very serious about her field and approached the classes
in an organised manner: she would explain new topics by drawing
and writing on the board whilst talking about the subject. She also
frequently made her learners take small exams. In the class,
following such an exam she would show the learners pre-made
drawings of the answers and how to get there using an overhead
projector. This allowed the learners to figure out what they did
wrong and how they can do better at the bigger exams. Mrs Tall
will often take her learners on trips to the university’s laboratories
where they will see a few ‘special’ demonstrations. These
demonstrations made the theory seem much more relevant, and
Mrs Tall went the extra mile to ensure that her learners would
grasp the physics concepts. Although physical science is a
difficult subject, she has always had many learners and got a
100% pass rate on the exam. 1.2.1 Identify the five roles of a
teacher played by Mrs Tall (5) 1.2.2 Give two examples of each
role showing how Mrs Tall played the indicated role (10)
QUESTION 2 [24] Question 2 “Behavioural problems in a

S., 2012). 1. As a professional educator discuss the strategies
that you would implement for improving behaviour in your
classroom in order to create a conducive environment for
