\nThe professional identity of teachers and the moral dimensions of their work and authority are issues increasingly challenging in contemporary, global and diverse societies. This chapter addresses them, at first in theoretical terms, discussing the tension between the initial idealism of novice teachers versus the growing realism of experienced teachers, the tension between vocation and profession, and teacher\u2019s ethos. Secondly, in empirical terms, based upon 19 face-to-face semi-structured interviews with experienced professionals, from public and private schools in Catalonia, pointed out by their peers as examples of good teachers. Their responses about the features that define a \u201cgood teacher\u201d are analysed according to the attributed: (a) personal characteristics; (b) capacities; (c) ethical values; and (d) competences. Overall, their views underscore the importance of establishing positive and caring relations with pupils, fostering mutual trust among them, and educating them in values and morals, at least implicitly, by example. Also considered are variables such as the moral leadership of teachers in the classroom, their social and emotional skills, and their self- knowledge. Finally, the implications of the study are put in the context of the Model of Moral Personality Construction, which integrates key elements of other approaches to Character Education.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
