Editorial Introduction 

In this issue of the International Journal of Educational Review, Vol. 1, Issue 5, two significant articles are featured. Professor Millward’s book review interprets, through the lens of narrative inquiry, a memoir depicting a teacher’s journey from professional burnout to renewal. The review discusses the book’s insights into cross-cultural issues in teacher retention and compares it with related post-pandemic works, highlighting the value of such texts in the training of teachers and educational administrators.
Ms. Zhang’s study emphasizes that faculty development is crucial to talent cultivation in higher education. By comparing the goals, functions, structures, and programs of the teaching centers at the University of California, Berkeley and Xiamen University, the research provides useful guidance for the development of faculty centers in China’s research universities.
We thank them for their outstanding contributions to the field of education and welcome more high-quality submissions.
