Nowadays, teachers do not always graduate from the education faculty. This phenomenon attracts researchers to conduct a study about the strategies to develop teacher professional identity, specifically for teachers from non-education faculty. In this study, the researchers implemented a case study method. To collect the data, the researchers distributed a closed-ended questionnaire to six teachers from the non-education faculty and did interview sessions. The researchers concluded the three major findings, namely (1) perceiving oneself, (2) gaining valuable insight through the teacher community, and (3) doing reflection on previous teaching experiences.
