Abstract: The purpose of this study was to document four novice secondary teachers' experiences as they progressed from the last year in their teacher education program through their first three years of teaching. Autobiographies, interviews, and focus groups were conducted to record their stories as novice teachers. In addition to the development of their understanding of teaching, their roles and responsibilities as teachers, and their interactions with students and families, teachers in this study also shared their understanding of today's educational context and how it impacted their development.
