Professional Expectations

As co‑professionals we need to hold high expectations of one another; such expectations include;

Mutual Respect as seen by (ID Disps. 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12)

·         instructors/students providing opportunities to express their own opinions, being available during office hours unless previous notice is given, discussing student concerns on an individual basis,

·         students offering constructive criticism & support to their peers, responding appropriately to feedback, maintaining appropriate relationships with mentor teachers and students

Effective Professional Behavior as demonstrated by (ID Disps. 1, 2, 3, 6, )

·         being prompt, attending class everyday, dressed down & prepared for class & practicum, updating any work/notes/experiences missed, with the help of willing class members, engaged in class, participating fully, taking initiative when needed (2 pts will be lost for each day missed)

·         complying with due dates especially with handing in and returning work; (assignments are due at class time); late student work will not be accepted, unless arrangements have been made in advance with the instructor; not showing for the practicum will result in loss of all practicum pts and

Professional Standards as seen by (ID Disps. 5, 13, 14)

·         paper work which is neatly typed with correct spelling, punctuation, sentence construction, and APA style; work which does not measure up to these standards will be returned to the student; the student will have until the next class to redo their work to the required standards.

·         verbal communication that is clear, accurate, and appropriate to the situation

·         scholar-practitioner attitude toward content

Practicum and Outreach Professional Expectations and Dispositions (ID Disps. 1-14))

·         These will be clarified prior to your practicum and outreach experiences (2 unexcused absences will result in loss of all school practicum points; excused absences must be made up)
