"The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), a national organization that confers professional accreditation to  schools, colleges, and departments of education to help to establish  high quality teacher, specialist, and administrator preparation,  defines teacher dispositions as follows:  Professional Dispositions. Professional attitudes, values, and  beliefs demonstrated through both verbal and non-verbal behaviors  as educators interact with students, families, colleagues, and  communities. These positive behaviors support student learning  and development. NCATE expects institutions to assess professional  dispositions based on observable behaviors in educational settings." from: http://www.actfl.org/files/TLE_Jan09_Article.pdf
