Abstract
This article reflects on an approach designed to facilitate teachers' learning through responsive narratives. Analysing participants' interaction during a case study of an international conference, we highlight the significance of teachers engaging directly with each other's life stories and using their own voices to re-shape their professional-personal identity, especially with regard to renegotiating what it means to be a teacher.
