Prompt 3 Spring:

I have observed staff participating in inappropriate behavior. For example during professional development meetings it is not uncommon to see a handful of staff members actively not listening either by openly being on their phones or by talking during the presentation. I think the easiest way to avoid the pitfalls associated with unprofessional behavior is to be sure to distance myself from the members who do not pay attention during professional development. Also by being sure I stay active in my own professional growth, by participating in professional development and other opportunities outside of the meetings in school, I can set a precedence for good behavior and work towards becoming a better teacher.
