      WHY DO YOU WANT TO TEACH? 

                                                             

Because I like to share what I know with other people. Moreover, I love helping persons to get what is good for them. Moreover, Teaching is a special calling. It is not a job well-suited to everyone. In fact, many new teachers leave within the first 3-5 years of teaching. However, there are many rewards that come with this oft maligned career. there are many reasons why teaching can be a great profession for me.

Well, the transformation pedagogy model consists on a creative perspective
through all its extensions, from synthesizing seminal and contemporary
knowledge in the fields of pedagogy and educational philosophy,
to adding psychological and neurobiological information as applied
to teaching and learning.                                                                                                               A practitioner texts because he applies learning theory to pedagogy.

 EXPLAIN THE MOST IMPORTANT PURPOSE IN EDUCATION: SELF-FULFILLMENT. HOW CAN WE HELP OUR STUDENTS REACH THEIR POTENTIAL TO THE FULLEST?
This book is also for the teacher who likes to reflect upon the challenge
of connecting the two great goals in education: academic and social.
For the ones who have almost taught  30 years at public school students, state university
students, and Christian university students. All students are
the inspiration for this writing. We are indebted to them: elementary,
middle, and high school students, undergraduate and graduate learners
whose wonderful curiosity and dedication formed the focus for the
book. As a reflection of our educational discourse with them, some of
their stories appear in this book, but the names of the students and most
of the teachers are intentionally fictitious. We are grateful for our students
and colleagues who encouraged us and who helped us field-test this writing through the lenses of their experience.Preservice and in service teachers all have had stories to tell, and we are better for their experiences.
These teachers have long been a source of inspiration and encouragement to students because they have the vision of nurturing the individual
potential of students.                                                                 

HOW CAN WE, TEACHERS, BE A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION TO OUR STUDENTS?
A source of inspiration for choosing to teach and suggested personal characteristics is necessary in an effective teacher in today's multicultural classrooms. We have to take into account many aspects in our personality to insptre our students: Social, cultural, and some others that become important in teacher´s life. We have to encourage our students every day by involving and engaging them n every classroom activity.
