Professionalism
Maintaining a professional demeanor helps to set the standard by which the students should strive for.
The simplest thing, like wearing an ironed lab coat can make the biggest difference to someone who has never been exposed to that manner of dress.
Hi Scott,
Absolutely! It is simple, lead by example.
Patricia Scales
Exactly. We must set an example for our students on how to be a professional. If we expect our students to be on time and act in a professional manner we need to do so as well.
Hi Robert,
I could not agree with you more! I truly beieve and follow that instructor code of "Lead by Example"! How can we maintain expectations for our students if we as instructors fail to provide them with a model of those expectations!
Hi Henry,
I concur! We should be the professional that we want our students to become.

I agree, Professionalism is one of the most important assets we bring to the table.
Absolutely, I agree! As a professional, we must set standards for our students so that they will know what is expected of them in their chosen paths. This is shown by the way we dress, in the way we speak, the way we work as a team, and our behavior just to mention a few. Our students see instructors as professionals, and we must behave accordingly.
