This course will help you understand teacher professionalism through an analysis of your personality characteristics. Seven personality traits will be explored in terms of their positive and negative personality features and how they might be applicable to professionalism in the classroom. You will be guided through a personality self-analysis and have the opportunity to complete a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis based on your personal reflection. Finally, you will explore methods for shifting any perceived negative behaviors into more positive, professional strengths.
This teacher professional development course comes with a downloadable PDF of the content and the self-reflection and SWOT analysis for you to utilize in your growth as an educator. Videos and quizzes, amongst other course content resources will help guide you on your path to success throughout your training.

Lesson 1
- Professionalism Through Positive Personality Course Content
- The video and article will provide you with an understanding of various personality traits and how those traits can impact professionalism. You will self-reflect on your own personality and identify areas for improvement. The course also includes some "Reflect or Discuss" prompts to help you connect with the course content and ends with a "Try This Task" to guide you explicitly on how you might implement the ideas into the classroom.
- Quiz
- You will answer questions related to professionalism and personality. Quizzes are automatically scored and provide feedback on answer choice rationale.
- Implementation Reflection
- The reflection prompt requires you to plan for use of the "try this task" by either reflecting on the content yourself or discussing them with the colleague. You will then discuss a new concept you can attempt to implement in the future based on something you learned in the course.
- Considerations for Implementation
- This short statement helps you reflect on your ideas and assess whether you might be successful in your implementation.
