Abstract:
This paper focuses upon the development of transformative teacher professionalism. It explores issues of teacher professional identity and the ways in which this is contributed to by teacher responsiveness to the changing and demanding educational environments in which they find themselves. It suggests ways in which professional learning can support the development of a transformative teaching profession and points to a number of conditions under which such a profession might emerge.
