Narrative reflection and interview data is presented as a case study of ‘Laura’transitioning from ‘student identity to teacher identity’, putting theory into practice,‘thinking on her feet’, ‘looking after self’ and ‘keeping afloat’. Using interpretativephenomenological analysis as an analytical tool, the findings are discussed in relation tothree overarching themes: learning on the job, forming a teacher identity, and showingleadership.
