Barriers to fair participation for career change teachers entering teaching
Hard-, harder-, hardest-to-staff
Career change teacher
Career change teachers (CCTs) are heralded in international education policies as key to addressing teacher shortages and increasing quality and diversity in the profession. Using a qualitative approach inspired by Ball’s discursive facet of policy enactment, interview responses from 23 Australian teacher educators were examined. The aim was to determine how these teacher educators spoke and thought about CCTs as well as how they discursively pos…
Layin’ it on the line
Despite the fast-changing education landscape, old and new racisms remain ensconced in school curriculum and pedagogy, concurrently shaping the experiences of both students and teachers, entrenching inequity, and reifying hegemonic dominance. Within the Australian context, such racisms continue to impact First Nations and minority teachers and students alike. In response, this article is a representative case study of the teaching profession, in …

Data were analysed inducti…

My purpose for conducting the critical self-reflective research described in this article was a desire to improve my effectiveness as a teacher in the field of First Peoples' education. The impetus for undertaking this research was a critical incident in my teaching career that I refer to as My Story of Sal. Writing autoethnographically, I use personal narrative as method, and show My Story of Sal as a representation of curriculum and pedagogy in…
