This document discusses the demands placed on teachers by society in their professional and personal roles. It notes that teachers spend significant time with students and are therefore highly scrutinized. Society's primary expectation of teachers professionally is that they provide "good teaching" by planning effective lessons, demonstrating teaching competence, creating a conducive learning environment, and assessing student progress. Teachers are also expected to act professionally in their interactions at school. As individuals, teachers must display qualities like preparation, fairness, compassion, and admitting mistakes. Their role is to serve as positive witnesses and examples to their students.
