Abstract
This study examines the professional path of 14 Ethiopian Israeli teachers and analyzes the acculturation patterns in their narratives. The teachers were interviewed about their professional integration, and their stories were characterized according to their motivations: teaching as a tool for achieving self-confidence, teaching as a mission, and teaching as a means of employment security. In the discussion, the relationship between the motivation and acculturation is examined. The study shows the importance of viewing the teachers as individuals instead of stereotyping them, and it may contribute to greater integration of immigrant teachers of color and immigrant cultures around the world.
