Abstract

The current teaching profession requires a prepared and committed professor who provides a high quality education as this new era demands, a professor able to understand the diversity of the students in the classroom, a professor able to solve and to make decisions about varied and complicated pedagogical issues, a professor who dominates other languages and the new technologies of information and communication, just to mention some of the dilemmas we face. The capability or ability that professionals have to solve the difficulties that we face in our practice has been called professional skills. Learning communities, learning with leadership, and personal and work values are demanded in order to meet these needs. The intention of this essay is to show learning communities as an educational project that develops professional competencies .The concept of a learning community can be defined simply as a group of people learning together using common tools in the same environment. In order to put it into practice, the context has to be transformed. All the adults who are related to the students must participate in this transformation. The groups and people have to reach a compromise, for this, they have to change the way of thinking focusing on promoting dialogue.

Keywords: community learning, skills.
