Homework
Professional dispositions have been defined as the "values, commitments, and professional ethics that influence behavior toward candidates, families, colleagues and communities and affect candidate learning, motivation and development as well as the educator's own professional growth" (NCATE, 2000).
Dispositions can also be described as attitudes and beliefs about counseling, as well as professional conduct and behavior. Not all dispositions can be directly assessed, but aspects of professional behavior are assessed during classes and field experiences in counseling settings.
