INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE
Curso Inicial
I’ve seen lots of lists that identify the characteristics of good teachers. They’re great
reminders of what we should aspire to be as teachers. I haven’t seen many corresponding
lists that identify the characteristics of good learners. I decided to put one together and
invite your input. This could be a list for our students or anybody who aspires to learn well.
1. Good learners are curious – They wonder about all sorts of things, often about things way
beyond their areas of expertise. They love the discovery part of learning. Finding out about
something they didn’t know satisfies them for the moment, but their curiosity is addictive.
2. Good learners pursue understanding diligently – A few things may come easily to learners
but most knowledge requires effort, and good learners are willing to put in the time. They
search out information—sometimes aspiring to find out everything that is known about
something. They read, analyze, and evaluate the information they’ve found. They talk with
others, read more, study more, and carry around what they don’t understand; thinking
about it before they go to sleep, at the gym, on the way to work, and sometimes when they
should be listening to others. Good learners are persisten. They don’t give up easily.
3. Good learners recognize that a lot of learning isn’t fun – That doesn’t change how much
they love learning. When understanding finally comes, when they get it, when all the pieces
fit together, that is one special thrill. But the journey to understanding generally isn’t all
Freire became a grammar teacher while still in high school. Even then his intuition pushed him
towards a dialogic education in which he strived to understand students’ expectations. While on
the Faculty of Law in Recife, Freire met his wife, Elza Maia Costa de Oliveira, an elementary school
teacher and an important force in his life. They married in 1944 when Freire was 23 and eventually
had five children, three of whom became educators. Gadotti asserts that it was Elza who influenced
Freire to intensely pursue his studies, and helped him to elaborate his groundbreaking educational
methods.
Freire’s arsenal of educational thought began to manifest with his appointment in 1946 as director
of Education at SESI, an employer’s institution set up to help workers and their families. Here he
began to see more disconnections between elitist educational practices and the real lives of the
working class. Thus, a study of the language of the people was the starting point for the
development of his work. During this time Freire also participated in the Movement for Popular
Culture, and supported the active exercise of democracy in lectures and in his Ph.D. thesis,
“Present-day Education in Brazil,” written in 1959. His convictions would earn him the title of
“traitor.”
FREIRE’S PEDAGOGY
Freire’s pedagogy of literacy education involves not only reading the word, but also reading the
world. This involves the development of critical consciousness (a process known in Portuguese as
Concretely, this pedagogy begins with the teacher mingling among the community, asking
questions of the people and gathering a list of words used in their daily lives. The teacher was to
begin to understand the social reality of the people, and develop a list of generative words and
themes which could lead to discussion in classes, or “cultural circles”. By making words (literacy)
relevant to the lives of people, the process of conscientization could begin, in which the social
construction of reality might be critically examined.
The year 1962 saw the first experiments in Freire’s method when 300 farmworkers were taught to
read and write in just 45 days. As a result, the government approved thousands of cultural circles
to be set up all over Brazil. Unfortunately, the military coup of 1964 halted the work, and changed
Freire’s life.
EXILE
In June 1964, Freire was imprisoned in Brazil for 70 days as a traitor. After a brief stay in Bolivia, he
lived in Chile for five years working in the Christian Democratic Agrarian Reform Movement. In 1967
Freire was invited to Geneva in 1970 where he worked for ten years as a special educational advisor
to the World Congress of Churches. During this time, Freire traveled worldwide helping countries
to implement popular education and literacy reforms. Some of his most influential work was in
Guinea-Bissau (a West African country) where he advised national literacy efforts and consequently
published Pedagogy in Process: The Letters to Guinea-Bissau.
In 1979, after 15 years of exile, Freire was allowed to return to Brazil and did so in 1980. He joined
the Workers’ Party (PT) in São Paulo and, from 1980 to 1986, supervised its adult literacy project.
With the triumph of the PT in 1988, Freire was appointed Minister of Education for the City of São
Paulo. His policy work and innovations in literacy training as Minister continue to effect the city and
Brazil to this day. In 1991 the Paulo Freire Institute was created, “congregating scholars and critics
of his pedagogy, in a permanent dialogue that would foster the advancement of new educational
theories and concrete interventions in reality…. [This work] is carried out by 21 scholarly nuclei
located in 18 countries” (Gadotti, “Homage”). The Institute is centered in São Paulo and maintains
the Freire archives.
WITH HONORS
Freire has been recognized worldwide for his profound impact on educational thought and
practice. He received numerous awards including honorary doctorates, the King Balduin Prize for
International Development, the Prize for Outstanding Christian Educators in 1985 with Elza, and the
UNESCO 1986 Prize for Education for Peace. In 1986, Freire’s wife, Elza died. He remarried Ana Maria
Araújo Freire, who continues with her own radical educational work.
On May 2, 1997, Paulo Freire died of heart failure at the age of 75. Those who encountered Freire—
whether as a lifelong friend, or from a distance through his intellectual writings—remember him
with deep respect. He is most often referred to in the same sentence as the words love, compassion

These are some of the strengths and characteristics you’ll need to get into teaching and find it
fulfilling career.
Academic achievements. You’ll need a degree to become a qualified teacher. If you want to teach
at secondary level, you need to be passionate and enthusiastic about your subject. If you want to
teach primary school children, you’ll need to be capable of covering a broad range of subjects. In
England, you need to pass skills tests in numeracy and literacy before you take up a teacher training
place.
Great communication skills. You need to be capable of giving compelling lessons, but it’s not just
about your students; you’ll also need to build relationships with their parents and your colleagues,
including both teaching and support staff. You’ll need excellent written communication skills too,
as you’ll need to prepare reports and letters on issues that relate to your pupils’ progress.
Great organisation skills. There’s a lot of administrative work involved in teaching, from planning
lessons to tracking pupils’ development. You’ll need to be capable of staying on top of a demanding
workload.
Genuine desire to bring out the best in other people. You need to be motivated to help children
learn and fulfil their potential.
Resilience, energy, stamina and a willingness to shoulder responsibility. Teaching is both
intellectually and emotionally demanding. You need to be capable of managing challenging
behaviour, keeping up with marking and paperwork, handling stress and taking a caring,
If you can’t stand children and want a job that allows you to keep interaction with other people to
a minimum, this is probably not the career for you. You’ll also find it challenging if you’re acutely
shy, short on patience or keen to work in a highly competitive commercial environment where the
priority is making a profit.
You might also think twice about teaching if you want a job that fits within strictly defined working
hours. Teachers tend to spend time in the evenings, at weekends and during the holidays doing
administrative work and preparing for the hours they spend in the classroom.
1. Check out the GSCEs and other qualifications you’ll need to get onto a teacher training course. Do
you think you can meet the requirements?
2. Consider whether you want to go to university. As teaching is by and large a graduate profession
and you can get into it from a broad range of degree backgrounds, you don’t need to decide if it’s
what you want as a school leaver. However, you could opt for a degree in education or take a
degree that includes teacher training. If you want to be a science or maths teacher and are ready
to commit to the profession for three years after graduating, you may be eligible for a grant of
£15,000 from the government towards the costs of undergraduate study. Our advice on what to
study at university if you want to be a teacher will help you choose the right subject for you.
3. Is a career working with children right for you? The best way to explore this is to gain some relevant
experience, either on a voluntary basis or as paid work. For example, have you coached younger
children at an after-school club or worked as a babysitter? If you want to be a teacher you need to
look out for this kind of opportunity to find out whether you enjoy looking after children, whether
at university, during a gap year, at work or in your spare time. Bear in mind that you’ll need a
minimum of two weeks’ work experience in a school to apply for teacher training.

La caja de peleas
Un pedagogo polaco que me gusta mucho, Janusz Korczac -que murió en Treblinka
en 1942-, había creado en Varsovia orfelinatos para chicos de padres deportados. Allí existía
mucha violencia entre los chicos, él intentó una cantidad de métodos para que dejaran de
pelearse: dijo que los iba a castigar, que los iba a dejar sin comer, que los iba a golpear.
Nada de eso funcionó, la violencia era más fuerte. Un día se le ocurrió algo extraordinario,
dijo: "A partir de hoy, cualquiera puede agarrar a golpes a cualquiera, con la condición de
que lo prevenga por escrito veinticuatro horas antes", e instaló la caja de peleas que era
como un buzón donde los chicos escribían: "Quiero agarrarte a golpes mañana". Ese buzón
se vaciaba y se volvía a llenar y los chicos contestaban "¿Por qué me querés pegar?".
Korczac se lo impuso a chicos más chiquitos que no sabían leer ni escribir y que tenían que
encontrar a alguien que les escribiera esa carta o descifrara lo que otros habían intentado
escribir.
Cuando el pedagogo inventa esta caja de peleas inventa, a la vez, la educación y la
democracia; y sobre todo muestra que el desarrollo psicológico y ciudadano es el mismo.
Hace algunos años, invitado a uno de los cursos de capacitación del magisterio de San
Pablo para una conversación con las alumnas, escuché de varias de ellas la afirmación que
da el título a esta carta. Pero también escuché a varias otras decir que habían elegido el
curso de capacitación del magisterio para esperar cómodamente un buen casamiento
mientras estudiaban.
Estoy completamente convencido de que la práctica educativa, de la que he hablado
y a cuya importancia y belleza me he referido tanto, tampoco puede tener para su
preparación esas razones de ser o esas motivaciones. Incluso es posible que algunos cursos
de capacitación del magisterio sean, irresponsablemente, simples "tragamonedas". Esto es
posible, pero no significa que la práctica educativa llegue a ser una especie de marquesina
bajo la cual la gente espera que pase la lluvia. Y para pasar una lluvia bajo una marquesina
no necesitamos formación.
La práctica educativa, por el contrario, es algo muy serio. Tratamos con gente, con
niños, adolescentes o adultos. Participamos en su formación. Los ayudamos o los
perjudicamos en esta búsqueda. Estamos intrínsecamente conectados con ellos en su
proceso de conocimiento. Podemos contribuir a su fracaso con nuestra incompetencia,
mala preparación o irresponsabilidad. Pero también podemos contribuir con nuestra
responsabilidad, con nuestra preparación científica y nuestro gusto por la enseñanza, con
nuestra seriedad y nuestro testimonio de lucha contra las injusticias, a que los educandos
se vayan transformando en presencias notables en el mundo. Vale decir, aunque no
podamos afirmar que el alumno de un maestro incompetente e irresponsable deba
necesariamente ser incapaz y falto de responsabilidad o que el alumno de un maestro
competente y serio automáticamente sea serio y capaz, que debemos asumir con honradez
nuestra tarea docente, para lo cual nuestra formación tiene que ser considerada
rigurosamente.
