PROFESSONAL ATTRBUTES
The Professional Attributes standards are broad in their nature and include a number of
intra- and inter-personal skills central to teaching and learning. t is useful to pick out
some of the key terms within the nine standards, as these provide a clear indication of
what is expected of qualified teachers. Most notably, these are:

a commitment to high expectations
the development of positive relationships and values
an awareness of statutory frameworks
effective communication and collaboration with a range of stakeholders
and,
a commitment to critically reflective practice.
The professional attributes standards should be viewed as possessing interdependent
relationships with other key frameworks. An important aspect of teacher education
programmes is to support student teachers in their understanding of the complex nature
of teaching. To avoid an overly isolationist approach to professional attributes,
citizenship student teachers should be encouraged to critically examine four such
relationships.

Tarik was a gardener at the local primary school. His job was to make sure the gardens and
lawns were kept neat and received enough water. Tarik was really keen on organising get-
togethers outside of work hours, such as bowling nights, barbecues and karaoke parties.
The great times they had outside of work meant a more enjoyable workplace and Tarik's
enthusiasm towards his workplace ensured a happy and enjoyable environment.
