The Consummate Teaching Professional
Opening Plenary
Date: Thursday, 04 May 2023
Time: 10:00 - 10:45
Presenter: Ms Leigh Sales AM
Teaching is not just a profession of the highest order, but a vocation that demands dedication, passion, and compassion. Parents entrust their children to institutions every day of the week and feel secure in the knowledge that their children receive an education from professionals with professional attitudes.
There is an expectation that teachers develop their professionalism outside the classroom in order ensure they maintain high standards by peers, managers, principals, and parents. The term professional denotes a commitment to carrying out professional responsibilities, while remaining accountable and responsive to various stakeholders. In this presentation Ms Sales will outline her thoughts, as a keen observer, on the consummate teaching professional.
