Teacher is the yardstick that measures the achievements and aspirations of the nation. Teacher is the pivot of any
educational system on whom rests the failure or the success of the system. There is greater need for active,
cooperative, loving and caring men and women as teachers for the whole educational system. These qualities of the
teachers depend on their personality and improved understanding of the career stages of teachers’ growth. Superprovided the concept of career stage by proposing a career stage model (Super, 1990) on worker’s career which
includes four stages namely, exploration, establishment, maintenance and disengagement. Integrating Super’s
model, Huberman, (1989) proposed a career stage model specifically for teachers which describes teachers’
professional work at seven career stages. Career entry (1 to 3 years) is characterized by developing an overall sense
of efficacy and learning overall teaching environment management. The stabilization stage (4 to 6) means when the
teachers commit to teaching as a career and there is a sense of improvement and professional growth. Diversification
and change (7 to 18) is a stage in which having exerted control over their work within their domain, teachers
experiment with different aspects of teaching. This is followed by moving into the serenity and affective distance
stage during years 19-30 in which teachers have considerable control over their work, with an economical
expenditure of effort. A parallel pathway after stabilization is the stocktaking stage (7-18) where teachers question
their choice of career and whether they should persist in teaching and which is followed by either entering the
conservatism or serenity phase in years 19-30. Teachers in the conservatism stage are not generally open to new
ideas and rely on established methods. Disengagement is about withdrawing from school activities and preparing for
retirement
