Integrating Career Readiness Into Your Courses: Part II -->Professionalism/Work Ethic
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Professionalism is an important skill to be learned. The best way to teach professionalism is by setting a great example.
Professionalism and civility are traits necessary for our students to be successful. Over emotional, rash decisions can lose a job.
Teaching professionalism through work based learning is a awesome benefit of this program
I intend to discuss how social media plays in many ways in professionalism. What you post and who you follow matters-Your content matters-
I learned that professionalism is about consistency and respect, not just showing up. A strong work ethic means staying reliable and giving my best effort. I plan to apply this by being dependable for my team and keeping a positive attitude, even when things get tough.
Career readiness skills are an important part of becoming prepared to complete employment tasks, but also essential to recognizing what it takes to be professional in the workplace.
Professionalism and work ethic are essential career readiness skills that include being reliable, respectful, and accountable. I’ve learned that modeling these behaviors in the classroom—such as meeting deadlines, wearing appropriate attire, showing up prepared, and communicating clearly can help set expectations for students.
As a teacher it is great to see students have a professional relationship with one another because it shows me that when they are working outside the classroom and representing the CTE section of our high school I have full confidence in them to show what we stand for and what they can accomplish
Professionalism is a crucial skill for both students and advisors. It enables the development of effective communication, foster a strong work ethic, and a positive relation with peers and employers, which are essential for success in career development.
This was an excellent presentation. I learned that professionalism involves how someone conducts themselves in a professional environment, how their behavior, appearance, and respect for others is vital.
A person's work ethic represents professional character and their dedication to doing a great job as well as being respectful to others and maintaining integrity is important.
Professionalism is about example and attitude. Respect and work ethic are important components to professionalism.
Professionalism could be taught by the CTE instructor to their students by including real-world scenarios and
the of use role-playing activities to teach handling workplace challenges such as resolving conflicts, giving feedback, or dealing with deadlines. Additionally, one could incorporate case studies about workplace professionalism and ethics as well for student analysis and discussion/debate.
In all honesty jobs/employers should not be utilizing someone's social media to determine professionalism or whether or not they would hire someone or give them an interview because that is what they do on their off time from work or school. There are too many people that live double lives; people play a role on and offline.
Professionalism is important for students because it fosters a strong work ethic, effective communication, and a positive reputation, all of which are essential for success in academic and future career endeavors.
Muy buenas noches a todos, tal vez para algunos muy buenos días, soy Maritza Placencia, desde el significado de profesionalismo la RAE nos dice: Cultivo o utilización de ciertas disciplinas, artes o deportes, como medio de lucro. Sin embargo no significa ello que se debe lucrar, enseño desde hace mucho en Universidades Públicas y la educación superior es relativamente gratis, la inversión lo hace el estado, sin embargo nuestros profesionales egresados buscan migrar inmediatamente a países desarrollados donde el sueldo es mucho más elevado y tenemos la gran dificultad de no poder retenerlos, son profesionales destacados y desarrollan su capacidad de juicio crítico, resuelven problemas de salud y son muy solidarios, pero el hecho de poder ganar mejores sueldos hacen que migren. Surge entonces un dilema ético "sacrificio o deslealtad a tu país que invirtió en tu carrera profesional".
A lo mejor también esto pasa en otros países de Latinoamérica. Podemos conversar sobre este problema donde enseñamos ética y profesionalismo con bases sólidas no sólo en ciencias, sino en prácticas sociales y humanitarias centradas en la persona. Para luego ver como se van y tenemos regiones fronterizas donde no tenemos profesionales.
Bueno estimados docentes este hilo debe de continuar. Con mucho aprecio espero sus comentarios.
Comment on John Detwiler's post: Hola John concuerdo contigo, muchas veces se da prioridad al conocimiento, a la productividad que el efecto de la persona en los entornos laborales e incluso en escenarios simulados, es muy importante su desempeño moral, su capacidad ética y las virtudes de puntualidad y decoro.
También es importante mencionar que el profesionalismos también induce a su valoración no solo moral, sino también el reflejo de su capacidad de resolver problemas y la inversión en tenerlo como parte de nuestro equipo.
Un gusto compartir con ustedes Maritza Placencia
Comment on Stephen Gabaldon's post: Stephen que buen mensaje, es muy cierto enseñar con el ejemplo y la ética no se predica se ejecuta en cada acto, y en cada escenario de nuestra vida.
Un abrazo y realmente comparto tu pensamiento.
Professionalism and work ethic are characteristics that aim to succeed in professional life. Some key characteristics of a good work ethic include reliability, dedication, discipline, integrity, responsibility, cooperation, and productivity.
Instructors can model professionalism for students by demonstrating good work ethics, such as being prepared for class, engaging in discussions, and providing prompt feedback. Professionalism is also demonstrated through effective communication and respectful treatment of students.
Understanding professionalism is crucial for students, as it is required in all workplaces, and its lack can cost them their job or a promotion. Factors like communication, attire, attendance, peer interaction, customer interaction, and respect for company policies significantly impact long-term success.
By embracing professionalism, students can develop inclusive attitudes, embracing diverse perspectives and opinions in the classroom and future workplaces. Instructors must foster professionalism and good work ethic in the classroom, using activities to help students understand its significance and representative attitudes.
Professionalism needs to be explained to our students. Many of them think it is just appearance. Showing the importance of professionalism and the value, great things will come.
