The documents we had to read about Freire, Giroux & Kumaravadivelu reflects on the role the modern teacher should take. The text talks about how teachers should take a more important role in the life of students and their own life as professionals in the field of education. Clearly, the documents want teachers to be more proactive and go beyond just the transfer of knowledge to their students and to go beyond the reflection of their teaching perspectives and practices. Teachers should strive towards becoming transformative intellectuals who go beyond making a difference inside the classroom with their students, these teachers are the ones who attempt to make a difference in the lives of their students and make them into productive citizens for the benefit of the world. A very important aspect I see in these documents is that it brings a message of empowerment to teachers, that teachers can change the world by giving their students a possibility to reflect upon the world they live in and too change the injustice and inequalities that exist in the world through them.
