Last Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the event Grandes Profes, and I have to say that, each and every one of the presentations made me reflect on my role as a teacher and the work I do.
It is the second year that I attend this event, and I have realized that their main objective is not to teach us something in particular, Its main objective is to make us reflect and give us a “kick” of energy to continue fighting for a profession that is less and less valued.
There are many topics that were discussed throughout the day, but the central theme was the ATTITUDE. The attitude that makes some teachers better than others. The ENERGY that makes the difference between exceptional and mediocre teachers, or "less good" as I prefer to say.
But, then, What Makes One Teacher Better Than Another? What has made César Bona one of the best teachers in the world? Is your knowledge? Is your experience?
Victor Küppers talked about the equation that defines the value of teachers, our value equals our knowledge, added to our ability multiplied by our attitude.
I can not agree more with him. Therefore, Today I have prepared an infographic with the characteristics than, personally, I consider fundamental in a good teacher.
Click on the infographic to see expanded.
What kind of teacher are you? I have no doubt that you will be an exceptional teacher. In fact, I want to thank you for being it. Thanks to you, that you are changing the lives of your students and that you will make them make a difference in the future.
Thanks for being there!

Thank you, Cristina, it is very useful. A good reminder to keep fit as a teacher. Actually what you call "Attitude" can easily be understood as "Vocation". No vocation (good attitude) it is not possible to dedicate yourself fully to a profession that can become frustrating and, more often than not, little paid. I will share your comment with my colleagues.
Thank you for your comment Engracia!
Completely agree.
The attitude is the vocation that moves us to face our profession with the desire and energy that it requires.
Thanks for sharing!
A hug,
Cristina
