The purpose of the study was to equate practitioners’ perception about three components of professional identity (1) Who am I? (2) What is my role? (3) How I should be? The population of the study comprised male and female practitioners teaching at higher secondary level. Data was collected from 633 public and private sector college practitioners through disproportionate stratified sampling technique. Major findings of study were that there was no significant difference in professional identity of public and private sector practitioners; however, private sector college practitioners were found more concerned about improving themselves. It was concluded that the teachers from both sectors had same views about their description as a teachers and their role as a teacher but teachers of private sector were more concerned about how they should be. It was suggested that practitioners at higher secondary may be provided training for enhancing professional identity through collaboration with universities and international donor agencies which are interested to raise the quality of education in Pakistan. It can be made mandatory to promote the college teachers to next grade within training courses and professional development programs.  \nKeywords: Professional identity, teaching learning process, professional development, public private sector, college practitioners, personal and professional growth  \n*  \n**  \nPh.D Scholar, National University of Modern Languages Islamabad.

Bejjaard (2009) has stated that teachers ‘attitude towards teaching learning process is more developed and they focus on their own personal and professional development due to professional identity. The teachers can judge their teaching practices with professional identity and they can decide toupraise the standard of their performance within various aspects of educational field. Beckett and Gough (2006) have mentioned in their study that teachers are responsible for the education of individuals which make them more vigilant about their role as a teacher.
