From the Paper:

"Education is an ancient profession as are the reflections regarding the characterization of the "good teacher", and what should the mutual relations between the teacher, the students, and the system be. During the last century the curriculum, the teacher's training, his relations with his students and with the principal, have been criticized by several sources. The dissatisfaction was expressed, among others, by the appointment of expert committees in different places around the world to examine the educational system and to suggest modifications and innovations that would remedy the situation. All of the committees contended with the question of the professional status of the teaching profession and the clarification of the central characteristics of education. This module will focus on these issues. The module is an attempt to guide your understanding regarding education as a profession beginning with what is education, what is the nature of "excellent instruction", what are the characteristics of the "excellent teacher", and what is his perception of his professional identity."
