TEACHING AS A VOCATION
Vocation comes from the Latin word “VOCARE” which means to call. Based on
the etymology of the word, vocation, therefore, means a call. If there is a call, there must
be a caller and someone who is called. There must also be a response. Teaching is a
vocation. For theists, it is a calling from God worthy of our response. For atheists, it is a
calling without a vertical dimension.
TEACHING AS A MISSION
Teaching is also a mission. The word mission comes from the Latin word
“MISIO” which means “to send”. You are called to be a teacher and sent into the world
to accomplish a mission, to teach. The Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary defines a
mission as “task assigned’. You are sent to accomplish an assigned task.
