MENDEZ, Pilar. The Statute of the Teacher. []. , 67, pp.67-88. ISSN 0120-3916.

This article discusses the intersection of some elements to think about the statute of the teacher today, concerning the longed-for search for the excellence in the teaching profession. Discourses on the crisis and the discredit of the profession, teaching quality, resistance and teachers' discomfort appear here investigated from a thematic rather than chronological point of view, that synthesizes certain aspects addressed in the research entitled Constitution of Subject Teacher in the Practices of Resistance in Colombia 1930-2013. The article allows you to notice the tension between a series of elements: the statute as a legal document, the discourses of the teacher's ought self starting from the reform, the identity of the profession with a field of knowledge, which in turn roam with other discourses, some of which point out the crisis of the profession, while others rely on the teachers' excellence as a central part of the reform.
