Summary/Abstract: When analyzing the competency profile of a teacher, we usually refer to a professional standard or framework of competencies that represent the ideal profile of the person whose job is to train students. The professional skills and their level of development determine the extent to which the teacher can assume various professional roles. More often than not we notice in the Romanian educational system a major gap between the professional teaching standards and the reality we find in school. In this paper, we intend to present an analysis of the teacher competencies from two perspectives: that of the existing competencies standards and profiles, and the one that stems from the perceptions of pupils.
