Professionalism

The big discussion this week was about keeping a professional relationship with our students. We spoke about some situations that we could find ourselves in, and discussed appropriate ways to react to these situations. I think this discussion needed to happen sometime before we start interacting with our students. I can see every one of the situations we talked about happening sometime during next semester, and we should have some set appropriate ways to handle ourselves in order to keep our professional reputation intact. The class seemed to already have a pretty good idea of the way they should handle these situations, but it was still good to get it on the table and out in the open.

  1. I completely agree. It did need to happen before next semester started. I think we all had pretty good ideas on how to handle the situations and like you said, it was just good to get them out there on the table. :)

  2. I agree with what you are saying. We seem to have a great group with similar ideas about what we would do. The fact is though, you can never be too prepared, hopefully we can make it through with as few 'moments' like these as possible, but I'm confident that we as a group will be ready.
