Introduction

This subject area intends to introduce you to the reflection of the various aspects of teaching as a profession and to make you aware of the decisions a teacher has to make in the course of a school year or a career. These decisions need to be firmly grounded on theoretical knowledge in order to be effective and successful.
It has been stated in the syllabus that the analysis of its contents will give you the necessary background you will need to make decisions at the moment of planning your course of action in your praxis, as a trainee, first and later, as a graduate teacher.
As we go along, you will realize how complex the task of a teacher is but at the same time, you will discover how fascinating a profession this is. As your experience grows, so will your awareness of the responsibility that is in our hands. It is my hope that this subject will give you the tools you need in order to tackle the problematic situations you will have to solve in the course of your careers as teachers; though well I know, that this will just be the beginning of a life-time learning experience as you keep on reflecting on your practice as time goes by.
So, let’s begin our work together. “It’s show time”!!! I hope you enjoy this experience and make the most of it.

All the best, all my love.
