  • science and me subject matter and Identity in secondary school science Teachers
    Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1998
    Co-Authors: Jenifer V Helms
    Abstract:

    This article explores the relationship between subject matter and secondary science Teacher Identity, or sense of self. Based on the recent literature on Identity and responses of five secondary science Teachers in in-depth interviews, I develop a multidimensional model of Identity and discuss the role of subject matter in the Teachers' descriptions of who they are as people and professionals. I offer implications of this relationship for science education reform and Teacher education. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Res Sci Teach 35: 811–834, 1998.

  • building Teacher Identity with urban youth voices of beginning middle school science Teachers in an alternative certification program
    Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2004
    Co-Authors: Amira Proweller, Carole P Mitchener
    Abstract:

    Teacher Identity development and change is shaped by the interrelationship between personal biography and experience and professional knowledge linked to the teaching environment, students, subject matter, and culture of the school. Working from this framework, this study examines how beginning Teacher interns who are part of an alternative route to Teacher certification construct a professional Identity as science educators in response to the needs and interests of urban youth. From the Teacher interns, we learn that crafting a professional Identity as a middle-level science Teacher involves creating a culture around science instruction driven by imagining “what can be,” essentially a vision for a quality and inclusive science curriculum implicating science content, teaching methods, and relationships with their students. The study has important implications for the preparation of a stronger and more diverse teaching force able to provide effective and inclusive science education for all youth. It also suggests the need for greater attention to personal and professional experience and perceptions as critical to the development of a meaningful Teacher practice in science. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

  • multiple identities negotiations and agency across time and space a narrative inquiry of a foreign language Teacher candidate
    Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, 2015
    Co-Authors: Hayriye Kayiaydar
    Abstract:

    Drawing on the post-structural views and the literature on Teacher Identity and agency, and using narrative inquiry, this paper describes how one Teacher candidate majoring in Spanish negotiated her identities across time and space and how her Identity negotiations interacted with her agency. The recursive analysis of qualitative data sources demonstrates how this particular Teacher candidate gave up teaching Spanish, after years of investment and preparation, and switched her focus to teaching English as a second language. By describing and discussing the Identity transformation she underwent and negotiations she engaged in, this study adds to the limited literature on foreign language Teacher Identity and agency, and provides implications for Teacher educators in foreign language Teacher education programs.
