decisions that best benefit their community (students, parents, coworkers, and the principal). In
addition, teachers must put effort into their career and ensure that they meet the curriculum.
Lastly, I feel that teachers should be aware of any liabilities. We learned in our ATA workshop
that teachers can be sued for driving students if something unfortunate happens even with
liability forms signed by guardians so it is extremely important for teachers to understand the
legal system and not assume liabilities for their students. Moreover, in this example of liabilities,
teachers should be intelligent enough to find other ways to transport students.
In conclusion, I understand that teachers need to be professionals in and out of the
classroom. Teachers must be aware of what is appropriate for their audience, and always
consider parents/guardians and legal issues. I believe that a teacher who is altruistically devoted
to their students in addition to the legalities is the best teacher there can be.
