ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the strong roles of real teachers. The role of the teachers is expected to bring something new to the educational situation, something that was not already there. One needs to consider teachers as content specialists, as role models, as colleagues, as evaluators, and much more. Too often the expert claims to tell what they think they did, and overlook the thinking processes that led to decisions to do this rather than that. Teacher should leave the ‘learnification’ procedures and ideology behind and instead be engaged in producing possibilities for the pupil to become a real subject — that is, build an existential bridge to ‘grown-up-ness’ and a rich ‘subjectiveness’. One of the main themes for teachers is to stop talking as much and listen to how students are processing information, listen to what they currently know and can do, and listen to the goals and expectations that students have for their learning.
