Abstract

This article defends the idea that teachers are the central element of pivot in the construction of the emotional climate of the classroom; because they are who generate the system of work, the kind of human relations and the basic codes of communication and interaction in the classroom. Between the keys for the study of the emotional climate of the classroom the role of the teachers is studied from there own professional identity and the emotional messages they send to students through the channels of communication they use, particularly through the non verbal communication. Those are the basic elements for the construction of empathy.
