Mackenzie, S., 2012. I can't imagine doing anything else': why do teachers of children with
SEN remain in the profession? Resilience, rewards and realism over time. Journal of
Research in Special Educational Needs, 12(3), pp.151-161. doi: 10.1111/j.1471-

The author in this article has fundamentally shed light on areas of concern related to the
accessibility of administrative support while providing education to children experiencing
emotional and behavioural challenges. Mackenzie (2012) has claimed that though there can be
seen significant amount of study on reasons which leads educators to leave this occupation.
However, a very small amount of study has been conducted on factors which help teachers
dealing with children with behavioural challenges engage to the profession. However, drawing
significance from Day’s work author aimed to assess factors. These factors are likely to verify
types of educators of this profession who will show resilience and stick to this segment. Such
evaluation has only been possible by emphasizing specially on educators who have been engaged
as special educational needs co-ordinators (SENCOs) (Kinniburgh et al. 2017). The article has
mentioned that it is of great severity to expect pupils fail to efficiently demonstrate resilient
qualities to the learners. Furthermore, flexibility of teachers will be leveraged both positively and
negatively by critical determinants related to professional life phases, teacher identities as well as
deviating facts linked to the personal, situated and the professional.
One of the strengths of this article lied on the way Mackenzie (2012) has emphasized on
situated factors about school leadership, employee collegiality along with behavioural conduct of
students. These factors however have been observed to serve contributing role both positively
and negatively to the efficiency and ability of teachers. Additional research has also being
conducted on professional development of educators by questioning differentiations in the effect

of the major influences on teachers and their impact on varied phases of their professional arena.
Comprehensive evaluation of these situated factors has enabled the author to believe that
comprehensive and expressively traumatic nature of job is not responsible to influence flexibility
level of teachers. On the other hand, the current assertive factors tend to ascertain the
engagement of teachers to this profession.
The later segment of the article mentioned the way vital situated factors, professional
determinants along with personal factors with a desire to serve tend to collaborate to facilitate
people develop flexibility across the duration of teaching. The paper has offered inclusive ideas
by stating how professional factors like vocational sense with emotional and behavioural
challenged students can be identified from determinants identified in previous studies.
Mackenzie (2012) has further shed light on challenges educational institutes experience to
identify massive intensity of flexibility developed with many teachers to stay involved in
providing education to students with SEN. Furthermore to assess factors which aided them to
assist or pose obstructions to such resilience. Mackenzie (2012) concluded by stating that it is
essential for educators at the later on stage to identify methods through which skills, dedication
to children with SEN can be used to enhance the broader domain of special education system and
sustain within the education field.
