Perspectives on professionalism

Teacher professionalism has been much discussed over many years, not least by the contributors to this journal and others (see, for example, Creasy Citation2015; Tatto Citation2021; Wright and Bottery Citation1997; Zhao and Liao Citation2024). The papers in this issue can perhaps be seen as contributing to the discussion of professionalism as ‘a global concept that is conceptualised, cultivated, measured, and realised in regionally specific ways’ (Liu, Conner, and Li Citation2023, 36) and constantly changing (Sachs Citation2016).
