This paper revisits the 2008–2009 review of the implementation of the Commonwealth Teacher Recruitment Protocol, commissioned by the Commonwealth Secretariat in response to a directive by Commonwealth education ministries in 2006 (Ochs and Jackson, 2009). With a view towards informing activities and policies that further the implementation of the protocol, this paper first presents key findings from the review. It then reports on research conducted in 2011 that revisited the migrant teachers from the 2008–2009 study to explore their situation further, as well as on key developments at the international level regarding teacher migration. A systems analysis of teacher mobility is presented, which identifies key actors, contextual factors and critical steps in the recruitment and migration process. In conclusion, recommendations for further protocol implementation are recommended.
