Cristina Villalobos BenÃtez Cavadini, a Catholic religion teacher in primary schools, participated in the CAS Accompaniment and Counselling in Education. An experience that gave her greater awareness of her professional role.
What has CAS Accompaniment and Counselling in Education represented for you?
​â¶Ä‹Having realised the CAS Accompaniment and Counselling in Education has brought me many benefits; what I consider most relevant, also for my well-being as a teacher, has been a greater awareness of my professional role and in particular of my ‘being’ a teacher. Cultivating the look towards me, that reality that inhabits me as I prepare, during and after lessons. I discovered the value of directing my gaze ‘inwards’, to better interact with/against my students, pupils and in extension with my colleagues and the people around me. An important added value of this training experience was to resume training and updating about my teaching identity.
How has the course influenced your work as a lecturer?
​â¶Ä‹The themes and authors proposed helped me in analysing and reflecting on the different ways of presenting myself to students and my specific modality, which instead of remaining static, can be and become flexible, congruent, dynamic and deliberately oriented towards meta-reflection. In addition, the moments of sharing with other colleagues from different school orders, what we were building together and the interviews with the facilitators and teachers from the Department of Education and Learning / University of Teacher Education (DFA/ASP), were very enriching, they broadened our view of situations and accentuated the importance of collaboration, which is fundamental in our profession.
