QUESTION 1: The Teacher as a Professional
1.1 Definition: Professional Educator [2 Marks]
A professional educator is a teacher who upholds ethical standards, demonstrates
integrity, promotes the wellbeing of learners, and continuously strives for excellence in
their teaching practice. This includes respecting learners' rights, maintaining
confidentiality, acting with fairness and care, and fostering a supportive and inclusive
educational environment (SACE, 2019).
