QUESTION 1
1.1 Definition of a Professional Educator in an Educational
Context
A professional educator is a teacher who upholds the values,
ethics, and standards of the teaching profession. This includes
acting with integrity, demonstrating respect for learners and
colleagues, maintaining confidentiality, being committed to
continuous professional development, and fostering a positive,
inclusive learning environment. A professional educator is
expected to serve as a role model, uphold learners’ rights and
dignity, and follow policies and codes of conduct set by
education authorities such as the South African Council for
Educators (SACE). Professionalism also means being fair,
patient, and consistent in all interactions while striving to
support and guide learners academically, emotionally, and
socially.
