Jennifer Dula outlines her vision of professional commitment as a teacher to avoid bias and have each student's best interests in mind. She believes teachers must be open to all students regardless of attributes and do their best to help each student succeed through strategies like changing instruction. Additionally, a teacher should not let personal issues with parents impact their treatment of students.
In an example, Dula noticed her first lesson was not effective, so she reflected and improved the next lesson to better meet student needs. Multiple times when students argued, she listened to all perspectives before making decisions to understand fully and let all students share their views.

1. Describe how you envision this professional commitment: I envision my professional commitment as a pact with students to avoid bias in all of my interactions with them. Throughout their careers, teachers will endure everything, and so must be open to and tolerant of anything that might come their way, including race, academic level, religion, and intellectual/physical impairments. I must always have a childs best interest in mind by doing my absolute best to get every child where he or she needs to be. Constantly researching strategies or changing types of instruction to help your students shows that you have their best interests in mind. It is important that, if a teacher has issues with a childs parents, he or she should never take any negative energy out on the child. Teachers should never take anything out of his or her students if it is not their fault or out of their control. Finally, in order to be an ethical teacher, one must have the ability to logically and coherently analyze situations and perspectives. It is all too easy to only listen to one student during an argument and discipline the other without seeing the perspective of the student you are disciplining. 2. Tell me about a SPECIFIC time youve enacted this disposition:
As a pre-service intern I am given the opportunity to analyze teaching
styles and practices and figure out what kind of teacher I want to be. It is important to be an ethical teacher and, luckily, I have had ample opportunity to practice being one. After doing the first lesson out of my two connected lessons, I noticed that the way I was teaching the standard wasnt impactful for the students. After reflecting on the lesson I gave, it became clear that I needed to practice having every students best interest in

mind while giving lessons. On the second day of my lessons, the
students picked up the content incredibly quickly, and I was pleased with the lesson and my own growth. I am happy I took the opportunity to reflect on if I am meeting the students best interests because it is a practice educators should do daily. There have been multiple times when students have gotten in an argument and I made sure to listen to every childs perspective before taking action. It could have been very easy to jump to conclusions and discipline one student, but I recognized the importance of listening to every side of the story through every perspective. Not only was I able to understand who was at fault, but I let every child make his or her case. If I didnt let children speak their minds and explain their perspectives, they would never share their opinions with me because they would assume that I only consider my own perspective. 3. Artifact
