This research aimed at exploring the role of the international dimension of teacher agency within ecological school settings in shaping the beliefs of Generation X and Generation Y teachers at the Ahliyyah and Bishop Kindergarten. A concurrent nested design was utilized. A questionnaire was designed to depict the distinguishing features of teacher agency regarding the two generations of teachers. (17) teachers out of a total of (23) responded. Personal interviews were conducted with four teachers to gain deeper understanding of how the iterational dimension and ecological setting shape teachers’ beliefs. Findings indicated that the iterational dimension of teacher agency and the school’s ecological contexts shape teachers’ beliefs, where each generation’s beliefs differ concerning nine distinct features. The research concluded with a comparison between the two generations in an attempt to suggest recommendations that capitalize on their strengths, and propose professional development strategies and experiences to harmonize their efforts.
