The Hard Work and Heart in Teaching: Teaching as a Profession and a Vocation
The eleventh episode of ISFO Podcast in collaboration with the Ateneo de Davao Formation Office Grade School Unit is entitled "The Hard Work and Heart in Teaching".
We live in a world of constant change that is accompanied by both challenges and consolations. As educators in this era, we are frontline in these dynamic and evolving experiences. Different narratives and stories may bring us to a deeper reflection of our personal experiences in carrying out our personal and communal mission as teachers.
Fr. Arrupe wrote that “today our prime educational objective must be to form men-for-others; men who will live not for themselves but for God and his Christ” (Men for Others, Valencia, 1973). While we envision the kind of students that we will provide for society, we, teachers, must first and foremost develop these values and attitudes. The values of commitment, compassion, competence and conscience. The 5C’s for Human Excellence. The aim of Jesuit Education. It will be through this that we can accompany our students most especially today.
The mission to accompany our students is further articulated in the Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAP) which is “journeying with youth” – accompanying young people in the creation of a hope-filled future.
With these challenges in teaching, a live streaming event sponsored by the Grade School Formation Office in collaboration with the Ignatian Spirituality and Formation Office (ISFO) will gather educators from different schools, confronted and immersed in different situations in the delivery of education in our context today. The conversation in this event highlights the sharing of personal experiences, of challenges and consolations, of risks and uncertainties in teaching.
