They must also know how to complement these knowledge bases with the appropriate use of technology. 2. COLLABORATION - Educational professionals must continually seek opportunities to work together, learn from one another, forge partnerships, and assume positions of responsibility. 3. REFLECTION - Educational professionals must be willing to assess their own strengths and weaknesses through reflection. They must also possess the skills, behaviors, and attitudes necessary to learn, change, and grow as life-long learners. 4. PRACTICE - Educational professionals must have a rich repertoire of research-based strategies for instruction, assessment, and the use of technologies. They must be able to focus that array of skills on promoting authentic learning by all students or clients, while exhibiting an appreciation and commitment to the value and role of diversity.
