My teaching metaphor is conformed by a cat that has to encounter many obstacles in order to achieve the goal that is to become into a lion.
I chose this methaphor due to the following reasons:
First, the cat means that when we start our jorney as a teacher we are only novice teachers. In this stage, we struggle with many things such as classroom management, the decisions taken in regards to the activities and materials, etc. Also, most of the novice teachers initiate to be curious and adventurous as a cat. They put into practice new ideas and see if those ideas work or not with the students they are in charge of.
Second, the lion means that the novice teacher has acquired experience and now, it is capable to overcome situations that affect the teaching and learning process. However, this lion it is not the king of the classroom, he gives the opportunity to the animals that sorround him to take the decisons with him about the activities, assesment, content and what should be improved within the classroom, because a teacher should be a faciliator of the learning process.
