Abstract
While much research has been produced around what policy makers and theorists want preservice and practicing teachers to know and to do, little work has been conducted around what preservice and practicing teachers need in order to feel sustained in the teaching profession. Similarly, much has been written about teacher quality from a distance. However, a paucity of research has concentrated on the conditions essential to nurturing the qualities of the best-loved self of teachers along the career continuum.
