Abstract
This conceptual essay expands the existing understanding of teacher roles in the United States by introducing the concept of teachers as “first responders.” By exploring this new perspective, the essay offers insights into how it can reshape the current approach to understanding teachers' work experiences. It addresses two core questions: (1) Why should the role of first responder be integrated into our conceptualization of teachers and their work? (2) How might this reconceptualization alter our perception of the teacher work experience? The essay further contributes to the literature on teachers, with a particular focus on those serving vulnerable populations.
