The benefits of beginning Education for Sustainability (EfS) in early childhood are now widely documented. With the support of their teachers, young children have shown that through engagement in sustainability practices they are capable of becoming active citizens in their communities (Duhn, Bachmann, & Harris, 2010; Kelly & White, 2012; Ritchie, 2010; Vaealiki & Mackey, 2008). Engagement with EfS has not been widespread across the early childhood sector in Aotearoa New Zealand (Duhn et al., 2010; Vaealiki & Mackey, 2008) until recently. One way of addressing EfS in early childhood education is through teacher education institutions preparing students to teach EfS when they graduate.

The discussion now presented is an excerpt from a collective investigation, in progress, which aims to understand the ways of constituting professionalism and teaching identity from narratives written by teachers of Basic Education and Higher Education. Thus, within the limits of this article, the reflections triggered by the story of an active teacher in Early Childhood Education are brought up. Reading the writings, based on dialogism and otherness, led us to affirm the formative and reflective potential of the narratives not only for those who narrate, but also for those who read them; as well as the extent to which the teaching construction/constitution paths -even being singular -are influenced by plural and collective elements of the socio-cultural context (concrete and subjective) that the subjects are inserted in.
