Content Play it safe! How can this presentation help us? Huberman’s model My life as a teacher Who lives better?
Play it safe! Listen and write as many adjectives or
emotions come to your mind. There are prices for the ones who get the most!
How can this presentation help us? To honor teachers at the different stages of
their careers To devise better strategies when providing
support to teachers in language programs. I'm also immersed in the endless flow of time.

Important The process is not linear There are plateau effects There are regressions There are jumps
My life as a teacher Do you recognize yourself in one of the
stages? What creative responses can you think of for
the challenges and opportunities of each phase?
Who lives better?“Teachers who steered clear of reforms or other multiple-classroom innovations but who invested consistently in classroom- level experiments…were more likely to be satisfied later…”
Objectives To recognize the importance of identifying
stages in teachers’ professional life cycles. To identify a stages in the development of a
teacher as a professional To reflect about stages of professional life
from a personal perspective
