TOPIC/HEADING:
Developing Accountability and Professionalism among Teachers in
South African Schools
Introduction
In South African schools, there is a growing concern regarding the
unprofessional behaviour exhibited by teachers. This essay aims to
explore the various types of unprofessional behaviour experienced
in schools and propose a strategy to instil values of accountability
and professionalism among teachers.
One of the prevalent issues observed in South African schools is
absenteeism. Teachers often display a lack of commitment to their
profession by frequently being absent from their duties. This not
only disrupts the learning process but also sends a message to
students that their education is not a priority.
Another type of unprofessional behaviour is the failure to honour
teaching periods. Teachers are expected to facilitate learning and
adhere to a fixed schedule of lessons. However, some teachers
deviate from this schedule, leading to confusion and inconsistency
in the delivery of the curriculum.
Additionally, the lack of preparation and organization is another
form of unprofessional behaviour observed in South African
schools. It is not uncommon to find teachers entering the classroom
unprepared, without lesson plans or adequate materials. This
undermines the quality of education and shows a lack of dedication
to the teaching profession.
, To address these issues, principals must implement a multifaceted
strategy. Firstly, setting clear expectations and standards for
teachers is essential. This can be achieved through the
development of a comprehensive code of conduct, outlining the
required professional behaviour. This code should be shared with
all staff members, ensuring awareness and understanding.
Secondly, regular monitoring and evaluation of teacher
performance are crucial. Principals should conduct periodic
classroom observations, providing feedback and support to
teachers. This promotes a sense of accountability and encourages
on going professional development. Additionally, implementing a
system of rewards and recognition for exemplary behaviour can
reinforce the importance of professionalism. Teachers who
consistently demonstrate accountable and professional conduct
should be acknowledged and celebrated. Lastly, establishing strong
communication channels between principals and teachers fosters
transparency and mutual understanding. Regular staff meetings
and open forums provide opportunities for dialogue and address
any concerns or suggestions. This promotes a collaborative
environment and strengthens trust among stakeholders.
Teachers play a vital role in shaping the future of our society by
imparting knowledge and skills to our youth. However, it is
concerning to observe that some teachers in South African schools
exhibit unprofessional behaviour, such as absenteeism and not
abiding by teaching periods. This essay aims to outline a strategy to
instill values of accountability and professionalism in the teachers
at our school.
The first step in instilling accountability and professionalism is to
establish clear expectations for teachers. This can be done by
developing a comprehensive code of conduct that outlines the
professional standards and behaviours expected from all staff
