6. ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

1. Teacher as a mentor
Becoming a mentor teacher takes continuous effort. To avoid the loss of enthusiasm or
static practice, teachers need to focus on their professional development notably; the single most
significant indicator of student success is an excellent teacher: nevertheless, no one can be
professionally developed without his or her consent
2. Teacher as professional
A professional teaching qualification does not make one a professional. Belonging to a
particular profession does not automatically guarantee that the service you provide is a
professional one. Hence, teaching as a professional is a hard thing to do because it encompasses
many roles to be done well. He possesses the following qualities to become a true professional.
 Inspire the trust of your clients - the students and parents.
Create a good first impression from day one of the academic year. .
 Dress like a professional.
Teachers need to dress in clean clothes with no stains or odor whether they
teach in the gym, the shop, or the math classroom. Teachers should arrive at work, looking the
part, not dressed looking like their students.
 Always be on time for work.
A professional teacher understands the need to start the day well, every day. Truly
professional teachers will make sure that they arrive at least ten minutes before the first bell
rings, to prepare themselves mentally for the day ahead

7.  Be prepared.
Professional teachers plan thoroughly too for every lesson and class. They stick to
their work program and assessment schedule, to ensure that not only syllabus content is covered,
but also the necessary skills for their students' longer-term success in their specific subject or
learning area
 Follow procedures and the protocol expected at your school.
Professionals embrace the corporate identity and values and model these for the clients-in
this case, the children they teach.
 Take charge of your classroom.
Manage your students' behavior. A professional teacher will not keep running to
school management for assistance with classroom discipline
 Take pride in the process and product.
Make sure your notes and handouts are professionally presented.
 Treat your colleagues and supervisors with respect.
Model respect for authority for your students and gaining their respect will be
much easier for you. Be passionate, positive, and enthusiastic about your work. A professional
teacher will not create negativity in a staff room or engage in mindless gossip and the spreading
of dissent.
 Take an interest in every child.
The better you get to know your students, the more influence you will have on their
attitude towards your subject and on their lives in general.
