Constructing Teachers' Professional Identity

Education International commissioned this study with the aim of examining how teachers’ professional identities are constructed in seven contrasting education systems. CUREE, in partnership with EI, identified jurisdictions where local studies might reveal broader patterns in the way different education systems operate to construct teachers’ professional identities. The jurisdictions - Berlin, Chile, Kenya, Ontario, Scotland, Singapore and Sweden - were selected to achievean economic and geographical balance and a range of contexts in relation to educational performance and teacher supply and working conditions.
