This document discusses several aspects of professional conduct for teachers. It addresses how teachers must balance connecting with students while maintaining professional standards. Teachers have greater ethical responsibilities than many other professions. Professional classroom conduct can vary depending on the situation and region but teachers should be sensitive to student demographics and maintain good communication in all situations. A teacher's conduct outside the classroom also reflects on the profession and they should be aware they are always in the spotlight in the community.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Professionalism
1. When it comes to professionalism, teachers have to balance connecting with
students and projecting a professional image. In addition, teachers have greater ethical
concerns than many other professionals, and also have to maintain standards on their
required testing and certification.
Professional classroom conduct is difficult to define, because regions and
situations will dictate different behavior. Overall, a teacher should be sensitive to the
demographics of the class, as well as, socioeconomic differences. Teacher should be able to
act rationally with thought in volatile situations while still maintaining good communication.
Conduct beyond the classroom should be reasonable, the teacher should be
aware that she is always in the spotlight. While teachers aren't expected to treat all
situations like they would in a classroom, they should be aware that their actions are noted
by the community and reflect on the profession.
2. “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5
minutes to destroy it” – Warren Buffett
Perception IS reality!
Avoid negativity – don’t be the teacher that constantly screams, that assigns too much
homework
Kids know who the “nice” teachers are, and the ones who care
The best way to avoid a negative reputation is not to establish one in the
first place
In the community – Avoid social networks that could jeopardize your standing as an
educator.
3. Teachers are not victims
of their jobs. We chose
it and can leave it at any
time. Avoid
unwarranted complaints
about the job (it’s
tougher in the “real
world”).
Victimization leads to
frustration, anger, and
burnout, and it affects our
students.
We aren’t victims! Instead we are the individuals in
whose hands your district and society entrusts its
hopes and dreams for the future!
4. Circumstances don’t make the teacher, they reveal the teacher!
Kids will work to determine who you are as a person and as an
educator. They will try to “Push your Buttons.” Don’t give them
the reactions they’re seeking. Once they see it’s not going to get
to you, they’ll stop.
5. EVERY faculty has negative individuals. Don’t
fall in with them.
It’s all about choices…
Ask yourself…
Do I want to blame society, administration, parents, and students, everyone BUT myself for
things that are not going the way I would like them to go?
The result will be…
The negative people will love you. Your workload will be lightened by the shortcuts
(worksheets, videos, busy work, etc.) you take. You’ll get all the latest gossip, but the respected peers will
have no respect for you!
6. It will be difficult at times. Times have evolved to where parents will believe pretty much everything
their child tells them. For example a parent might say, “He says you……….”
When communicating with parents
always remember…
Do your homework (know the child you’re
speaking of)
Speak frankly (start positively and go from
there)
Take neither a defensive nor offensive tone
Both you and the parent want what’s best for their child. Work
cooperatively and professionally to achieve a common goal.
7. Take them from where they are and help them grow from
there.
Commit to doing that and you’ll have no time for blame.
Who’s to blame? High
school blames Middle
School. Middle blames
Elementary School.
Elementary blames
Mom. Mom blames
Dad.
We are assigned the
kids each year. We
don’t get to pick
them (nor their
parents)
8. Participation in school related activities sends a message to students and parents that you
care. Parents will support you and work cooperatively with you and students will work
harder and behave better.
Coach a team (even if you
know nothing about that sport)
Advise a club or activity
Chaperone dances, field trips,
or PTO events
Students won’t care how much you know until they know how much you
care!
9. No parent, teacher, or administrator would opt to have a child in a high tech building being overseen by
ineffective teachers.
Yes…integrate (technology, resources, etc.) into classroom, but not at the expense of improving
teaching skills. Instead, what’s needed are good models, supportive surroundings, and a desire to
improve our teacher skills.
When kids are not achieving
academically, society (i.e. politicians),
have simply thrown money at the
problem. Historically this has not
worked. If patients are dying on a
particular surgeons operating table,
would you buy him a new scalpel?
Instead, a greater emphasis needs to
be placed on effective teaching
strategies!
10. “By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever yet
harmed his stomach.”
– Winston Churchill
Anyone who will gossip with you will gossip about you!
No one has ever earned the respect of others by
gossiping!
Unfortunately, many students start out on the wrong foot
because of careless, harmful words spoken about them by
teachers. Imagine if a teacher was judged and evaluated by
administration on previous mistakes in their teaching, or
their life.
You’ll encounter colleagues who will try to engage you with empty meaningless gossip,
often times in the lunch room. Keep your discussions related to anything (movies, family,
vacations, etc.) but kids. It’s unprofessional – and goes against everything you stand for –
educating and helping others!
11. Rely on anyone who can provide
assistance in helping students learn.
For example…
Have students help in decorating the room
Recruit guest speakers
Enlist parents to help with tasks
Have other teachers demonstrate techniques to your students
The Result…
Your students will see you asking and will do the same. They’ll give
something back. Teaching isn’t an exact science so always remain in a
state of questioning.
Remember..
Be confident enough to work autonomously, smart enough to know when to ask
questions. There is NO such thing as a bad question??
Take initiative, but communicate. You won’t look incompetent but instead look
dedicated.
12. Nothing is more rewarding than knowing you left nothing in the
tank. You’ve done something and given it your best!
No one is perfect. You’re going to make mistakes, but make those mistakes going
at 100%. There are going to be days when you come in not feeling well. But if you come to
school, you MUST teach your best. When students try your patience because they don’t
understand what you’re trying to teach. Try a new way of teaching it. Do not give up, and
do not give in. Rather, give all you’ve got, and then some.
You cannot ask for the best from your students if you’re not giving yours!
13. Whatever your goals
are, WRITE them
and post them. Take
one step towards
your goal every
day…you’ll get
there.
Map out a plan and
create steps to
arrive at your
destination.
Set goals to improve yourself as a teacher
Examples…
To implement more cooperative learning exercises in your classroom
To create a more effective classroom management plan
To utilize a certain program to encourage additional skills in your students
Written goals are much easier to attain than the “pipe dreams” in your head.
14. Remember Gunny Highway. You will
need to improvise. In order to improvise,
you’ll need to be flexible. The only thing
you’ll be able to count on is that things
will get messed up, and you’ll need to be
flexible.
Fire drills
Calls from the main or health office
Kids getting sick
Discipline problems
Bizarre questions
Unannounced observations
Running out of or overestimating time for a lesson
Changes in staffing, class size, and assignment
Get over it and go with the flow!
15. Be reflective. Learn from your mistakes
Keep a journal of your school year. It’s a great way to
evaluate what worked and what didn’t. Plus it’s a great read
in your later years on the job!
Create a teacher report card for each unit. Evaluate yourself.
Don’t be afraid to be critical. Have the students grade you as
well.
Did I make my class interesting?
Did I hold my students accountable?
Do I treat all students fairly?
What did the students like and dislike about my
class?
At the end of each day, or at least the conclusion of a unit,
makes notes within that unit folder of things you may want to
do differently the following year. You won’t remember in
September.
*Every mistake you make is an opportunity grow, and you are going to make
TONS of mistakes. Put them to good use.
16. It’s difficult to determine the “look” of a teacher. Sometimes
it’s easier to say what isn’t the look. If you’re lazy in your attire,
where else are you lazy (your planning? Classroom
management?)
Fair or not, you WILL be judged by your appearance!
If you dress professionally, you’ll be treated with more
respect by students, colleagues, parents, and administrators.
You are a professional, so look the part!
It doesn’t mean being uncomfortable, it doesn’t have to be expensive. It does mean looking
DIFFERENT from the students.
*Dress the part, act the part, and be treated with the respect you deserve!
17. *“What you do should speak so loudly so that no one will need to hear
what you say.” – Marv Levy
Students need role models and seek them out in their lives,
their homes may not have them.
We’ve all had roles models. They’ve inspired us to be the person we
wanted to be. They cared and they encouraged us. Our actions will speak much
more loudly than our words. Kids will notice your new outfit, your new haircut
,etc. They may not always do what you say, but they will imitate what you do. (Try
it sometime!)
18. *Have fun with it. Intersperse humor within the interaction.
You’ll earn their respect and in turn, serve as a role model.
It is difficult to control your actions and maintain you’re composure at all costs. Kids will
test you. They’ll try to work your nerves and push your buttons.
When a student has control of an adults emotions, it’s a powerful feeling for
a child. Don’t play the game. If you play the game, you’ll lose, and give control to
them.
19. You’ll never agree with all
administrative decisions all of the
time. Try to respect where they are
coming from with their decision
making process.
You should develop a comfortable working relationship so that you can discuss matters
professionally with your administrator.
Don’t get caught up in power struggles, gossip, or pettiness that can lead to
breakdowns in communication and cooperation.
Focus on what you can change – not on what you can’t.
Always keep the students best interest at heart.
20. *If you’re so angry you can’t think straight, you’re
right, you can’t!
We all experience anger, but not everyone expresses it the same way. Anger is a
powerful emotion and in the classroom it can be very hazardous to ones career if it’s
not controlled. We ask our students to recognize their anger and maintain self control,
so must we as role models.
Try abiding by the 24 hour rule. If there is a situation that could possibly invoke
anger and an inappropriate response, wait 24 hours. Chances are you’ll be able to reply
much more rationally and maybe it wasn’t that big a deal in the first place.
21. Students don’t have the luxury of changing locations if you’re
having a bad day. Don’t let your bad day affect them!
We all struggle with our own trials and tribulations, illnesses, love life, financial
matters, etc. Don’t share your personal problems with your students. Teachers think
that by attempting this the kids will “behave” because you’re having a bad day. In fact,
it will be one of the few times you can be sure your students will listen, and they’ll
share that information with classmates, other teachers, their parents. And the more
they share, the more convoluted the story becomes.
22. You have them for 8 hours a day, what about
the other 16?
The fact is, school may be the best part of their day. They may go home
to an empty house, may have to care for a sibling, or may be in an abusive
home. Focus on the time your students are with you. Pay note of signs
that there may be problems occurring in the other sixteen. Should you
notice it, take steps to have it looked into.
23. Never become such an expert that you stop
gaining expertise (Do you teach for 30 years or
teach 1 year 30 times?)
Perfection? No Improvement? Yes!!
“Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.”
John Cotton Dana
