Description:
In this brief excerpt, Fullan and Hargreaves identify what they think
characterizes professionalism in teaching. They argue that it is not so
much the possession of a certain level of qualifications or status, nor the
possession of a set of technical teaching skills. Rather, it is the full
acceptance of the moral responsibility that is attached to the role of
teachers today, and the ability to make minute-by-minute professional
judgements in complex and uncertain situations.
