摘要：This paper outlines findings from a self-study group’s investigation of personal and professional experiences between four new education faculty members. Bringing diverse teacher education experiences from three different countries, the group is situated in a Canadian university undergoing a transition toward becoming a comprehensive institution in the competing global era. Three identified themes emerged: professional value, survival, and maintaining balance. Findings revealed that self-study allows participants to share information, identify issues, appreciate personal and professional life, enjoy being teacher educators, understand teacher education, console and support each other to survive in the initial years, and maintain a balanced professional life.
