"What salt is to food, passion is to teaching" (Kavita Bhupta Ghosh) What's at the heart of our teaching? What motivates us? How do we keep our teaching fresh, vital and effective over a lifetime? After a career in international English education and involvement with Vietnam that began nearly 30 years ago-from teaching English, to working with novice teachers, to developing teacher competencies, and designing blended teacher development-my heart still beats for the good of Vietnam's teachers and learners. In this presentation, we'll explore the professional attitudes and values that are at the heart of our teaching over the trajectory of a teacher's career. We'll examine what keeps us passionate about teaching over a lifetime through the lens of Vietnam's Foreign Language Teacher Competencies Framework (2020), a synthesis of the stages of teachers' careers synthesized from Huberman, Fessler, Sikes, and my own lived experience. Together, we'll celebrate ways to keep our hearts beating for the good of our students and colleagues.
