week 7 assignment 2

Professional Dispositions are the values, professional and personal ethics, and belief systems that affect behaviors toward K-12 students, co-workers, school leaders, families and communities. Dispositions support the development of the education professional, leading to greater likelihood of student success. These chosen professional dispositions that all program completers will demonstrate are steeped in the mission and vision of the professional preparation unit and the larger institution. As a baseline, we expect graduates to exhibit professionalism in all of their interpersonal  interactions.  Beyond that, the APUS School of Education is committed to preparing pre-service and in-service educational professionals who also demonstrate:

· the belief that all students can learn;

· active contribution and collaboration in their professional learning communities;

· application of  theory and research in daily practice and reflection;

· valuing, respecting, and promoting diversity;

·  skill in identifying and using community resources that enhance student success;

· social responsibility;

· ethical practices; and

· the appropriate use of technology

Write a paragraph for each indicator that is highlighted.
