Teaching Scholars Lecture Series

Hank B. Slotnick, Ph.D.

Professions and Professionalism:  What They Are, How They're Learned, and the Role Instruction Plays in Their Development and Maintenance.

Professions play a particular role in society, and society rewards professions accordingly.  This talk considers the role as well as the ways in which professions recruit professionals-in-training, train them, and then monitor their practices.  Special attention will be given to the elusive attributes known collectively as professionalism so that those attending will understand how their efforts as teachers impact on the professionalism their students show years later in practice.
