Benchmark Effective Educational Practitioner
A teacher’s responsibility is to teach students by observing students on their performance
and development. A teacher also assigns work and grades the classwork, homework assignments,
and tests. The teacher's responsibility is to ensure that the student has learned and understood the
needed material to pass to the next grade level. Teachers also spend a large amount of the day
with students there for also responsible for being a good role models and displaying good
qualities. Teachers are also professionally responsible for holding high standards for themselves
and their students (Ames, C. 1992). Teachers also need to collaborate with other teachers and
advocate for their students to provide the best education possible.
Teachers spend long amounts of time with students and not only for a few months but an
entire school year, out of the 365 days in a year half of the time is spent in school. Due to this
teachers are usually seen as role models for students, which is why it is very important that
teachers remain a good and positive role models. A way to do this is by maintaining and
upholding high expectations of the code of ethics, being professional, and adhering to all the
policies that have been set in place for our protection and students' protection. The policies have
been put in place to allow teachers and students to build and maintain a healthy and above all
professional relationship and doing this will ensure the safety and quality education for all
students. I have learned that what you do for one student you do the same for the other and never
treat any students with a special preference and treat all equally. Also being a role model is

something that happens not only in the classroom but even outside, an example would be the
way that teachers and other staff members treat each other and how they deal with conflict or
speak about other students. Students are always watching and paying attention even when we
think they are not they really are. It would be very unprofessional that our students to see or hear
that we are causing conflict with other staff, or we don’t treat others with grace and assume best
