Book chapter, Dutch language.
This book offers different views on the basic duties of schoolteachers, with most of the contributions coming from authorities in education research.

It is far more important is to create an environment in which pupils feel curious and playful. The Circle of Coherence offers some indications on what teachers could concretely do to achieve this.
