Teacher commitment is a key factor influencing the teaching-learning process. It is the psychological identification of the individual teacher with the school and the subject matter or goals, and the intention of that teacher to maintain organizational membership and become involved in the job well beyond personal interest. Teachers' commitment is thought to decrease progressively over the course of their teaching career (Fraser, Draper & Taylor, 1998). At the beginning of a teacher’s career, there is an early stage of commitment to teaching associated with the choice of professional identity, followed by a stage of experimentation and search for new challenges. Teachers often experience a stage of conservatism, which can lead to eventual disengagement (Huberman, 1993). This transition from an enthusiastic engagement with the profession to a more distanced and limited involvement, reduces a teacher's willingness to reform classroom practice, engagement in whole school initiatives and levels of participation in extra-curricular activities. A decrease in commitment levels during the course of the teaching career is also problematic in relation to the retention of experienced teachers in the classroom. This paper will explore the importance of teacher commitment in promoting education.
