Abstract:
This narrative inquiry of four early-career teachers examines their changing expectations of themselves as teachers as they shape their professional identities. Drawing upon Clarke and Hollingsworth's Interconnected Model of Teacher Professional Growth (2002), the analysis highlights the essential role that feedback and supportive collegial relationships play in the shift from idealism to a more practical approach to teaching. Recommendations are made for teacher education and induction programs to prepare teachers to critically examine the validity of their explicit and implicit assumptions,

Abstract:
Early career teachers were asked to identify what impact policies for improving teacher quality had on their practice. Quality is hard to define, but can be understood by how it was talked about. In this qualitative study, 13 early career teachers from teacher education excellence programs in Queensland and Western Australia were interviewed. Discourse analysis, based on Archer’s theory of reflexivity and Bernstein’s concept of recontextualisation, highlighted that quality was recognised both individually and collectively, as being guided by relational knowledge of their students.

In Australia, the majority of teachers enter the profession with positive motivations to teach and a strong desire to be effective.

Given the high rate of attrition and the related consequences, including the negative impact on student achievement, there is a significant need to examine how ECTs may be supported to remain in schools and succeed in the profession.

The first few years of teaching are the most critical in determining whether or not a beginning teacher will stay in the teaching profession (Whitaker, 2000).

This dissertation explored a growing concern - the lack of retention of early career teachers (ECTs). We investigated the perceptions of a large sample of ECTs regarding how principal support and job satisfaction affects their decisions to remain in or leave the field of education. We employed an exploratory mixed approach based on a framework derived from DiPaola's (2012) work on principal support. Three surveys collected ECTs' perceptions of principal support, job satisfaction, and their intention to remain in teaching. A series of semi-structured focus group interviews were also used to col

Abstract:
What do we really know about the literacies teaching and learning experiences of early career teachers (ECTs)? In Western Australia, as in other Australian states, ECTs are impacted by neoliberal policy reforms pursuing standardised and didactic literacy teaching and learning. Many scholars argue that such reforms impoverish literacies learning for both teachers and students. To explore how ECTs perceive and shape literacies teaching and learning in these policy conditions, the present author facilitated a series of café based discussions. During interactions, ECTs reflected on their professio

Abstract:
<p> Research shows minority teachers positively impact minority student achievement, yet these teachers (especially Blacks and Latina/os) account for the highest percentage of pre-retirement teacher attrition rates. The primary reasons for their premature departures are a lack of autonomy relating to classroom instruction; exclusion from the school-wide decision-making process; and school culture and climate issues. These concerns could be alleviated through the agency of teacher leadership, especially when considering the finding that leadership is second only to classroom instruction when it

Abstract:
The secondary schooling market in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, is complex and diverse, with the encouragement and growth of ‘choice’ having a range of impacts for students, parents, and schools. This dissertation examines the experience of teachers, who enter into an increasingly differentiated system and must make choices about where and how they might work within it. Taking a qualitative multi-case approach, the thesis explores interviews with nine early career teachers as well as relevant figures surrounding them: a colleague; and a friend, partner, or family member. The coverage that

Abstract:
Children in rural and remote schools typically underperform in measures of literacy achievement (e.g., NAPLAN) from as early as year three. Data collected over time indicate that as children get older, the gap increases between those students who meet the national benchmarks and those who do not. Additionally, Indigenous children are overrepresented in this group of students who are underperforming in measures of literacy achievement. This study seeks to explore the conditions surrounding this phenomenon and to tease out the complexities present in rural and remote contexts that might contribu

Abstract:
This thesis explores the development of the thinking and practice of beginning and early career teachers in relation to pupil behaviour through the examination of questionnaire data from two surveys conducted with a PGCE cohort and case study data gathered through a sequence of interviews with seven teachers from this group during their first three years as qualified teachers. It draws on literature to critically examine the established discourse of pupil behaviour as a problem in schools, the management of behaviour as a concern for beginning teachers and the preparation provided by Initial T
