The document discusses teaching as a calling, profession, and vocation mission. It defines calling as a strong inner impulse to a course of action, and profession as an occupation requiring special education. It explains that vocation comes from a Latin word meaning "to call" and mission from a Latin word meaning "to send," so a vocation mission is an act of sending people who are called. It states that teaching is both a vocation, as one answers a call to teach and commits to transforming learners, and a mission, as it is a task assigned that requires preparation and continuing education.
