Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
The choices teachers make should not be based solely upon personal values and preferences but on those values, judgments, and ethical commitments shared by the professional association of which they are a member. This provides the collective wisdom and advice from a broad base of professionals and can be a measure to govern professional behavior. It says that a group has recognized the moral dimension of its work. It supports teachers in the decisions they make through a recognized and articulated set of professional values that all members of the field consider inviolate.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Important personal qualities for a teacher to possess are: dedication, compassion, insight, flexibility, patience, energy, self-confidence, fair-mindedness, physical and mental health, responsibility, and reliability. They must be warm and loving, yet firm and use a sense of humor wisely. Teachers should like children and feel that the job they are doing is important.
