✦ Synopsis

This article explores the relationship between subject matter and secondary science teacher identity, or sense of self. Based on the recent literature on identity and responses of five secondary science teachers in in-depth interviews, I develop a multidimensional model of identity and discuss the role of subject matter in the teachers' descriptions of who they are as people and professionals. I offer implications of this relationship for science education reform and teacher education.
