1.5 ethos and culture

Two factors that I believe are particularly effective in contributing to an inclusive ethos and culture are strong school leadership and professionalism. I believe that strong school leadership contributes to it because depending on the attitude and behavior they show that is how the staff will perform. Leaders should engage in discussion with their staff so everything flows smoothly in the school. For example in our school, we have meetings once a month to discuss various topics that should help in the betterment of the school and for the benefit of the children. We are always encouraged to do our best during teaching hours and also are given tokens at the end of the school year which teachers really appreciate. We also have assemblies where children are given incentives for their efforts or participation during the school year. 

As teachers, we should always be professionals when we are in and out of the classroom. Even if parents, colleagues, or students come up with issues against you, as an educator, you should always be professional. Once I had an experience where this parent didn't like me as her child's teacher due to personal issues. However, I was the teacher and I had to act as such. I used to always be polite to her even if she didn't use to answer me but I tried my best to be as professional as I should be. Afterwards, I taught her child on another level, and I guess that she gave up on her negative attitude toward me and treated me good again and up until now she speaks to me well but I had to be the one acting professionally.
