Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on initial indications of what is occurring in the career rearrangement process for teachers in the first year of the newly-introduced teacher evaluation and classification system. The analysis is based on large-scale online teacher survey panel data. As a result, relatively well-defined types of teachers’ career paths are able to unfold even in the first year of the teacher’s career model. The chosen career paths do not correlate with general attitudes regarding evaluation and classification systems. Concerning career paths, a strong polarization among teachers can be seen: highly qualified and motivated teachers – who were active previously as well – have already begun the acquisition of skills and qualifications that are necessary to get ahead in this new promotion system, and have shifted in the direction of educational tasks that are rewarded by the career model – while teachers who were not active previously have remained passive bystanders.
