Results from discussions among the authors, from the Hunger Completion of course work, which aimed to (re)learn the conception that teachers have on their own quality of life, also trying to establish the relationship between quality of life, well-being, malaise with the Theory of Baltes (Selection, Optimization and Compensation—SOC Model) in educational spaces and learning through analysis of responses of the SOC Questionnaire from seven public and private teachers, about their quality of life. To analyze the results, it was used as reference discursive textual analysis. The main results were the concern of teachers with the choice and organization of their life goals and the relationship that they made between quality of life with satisfaction, professional and personal.
