Abstract
Becoming a teacher educator is often filled with tension. In my case the tension is based on the identity of being a younger female in the academy. According to Connelly and Clandinin (1999), for a teacher, knowledge is entwined with identity. For a teacher educator, identity is interwoven with the lives and knowledge of teachers, children and youth (Clandinin, Downey, & Huber, 2009).
