Description
Perspectives Over the last three decades, the educational research community has come to see that the process of becoming a teacher is situated autobiographically in the context of peoples' lives (Costigan & Crocco, 2004; Goodson & Hargreaves, 1996; Hubermann, 1993; Levin, 2003). The use of narrative and ethnographic methodology has become central to understanding how new teachers come to understand themselves as teachers, become socialized into the profession, and come to understand the teaching craft (Zeichner, Tabachnik, & Densmore, 1987). Increasingly, attention has been paid to the narratives teachers create in their early years, in order to better understand the patterns of thinking by which they begin to develop as teachers (Clark, 2001; Costigan, 2004; Rust, 1999). Put simply, who teachers are, what they think, how they feel, the patterns of how they develop (Hollingsworth, 1989), as well as their shifting centers of foci and attention (Rust & Orland, 2001), matter a great deal in understanding how teachers come to identify with, and become socialized into, teaching.
