Wk3 Summative Assessment instructions
Teacher dispositions are the values, attitudes, commitments, and professional ethics that influence a
teacher’s behaviors toward students, colleagues, families, and communities. Teacher dispositions
may be less visible than knowledge and skills; however, they can be considered the most influential
quality of highly effective educators. In addition to dispositions, a successful teacher must have
effective communication and collaboration skills.
This 2-part assignment provides you with the opportunity to reflect on your own professional
dispositions and determine effective communication and collaboration skills for educators.
