Abstract
This study sets out to explore the similarities between the concepts of teacher entrepreneurship and multiliteracies in detail. To do so, multiliteracies teachers’ beliefs and actions are put side by side with the competencies, traits, and actions carried out by teacher entrepreneurs. Practical examples from a multiliteracies classroom we observed are also included to show what these similarities look like in practice. Once establishing the many commonalities that exist and because of the new entrepreneurial perspective gained on multiliteracies teachers, we searched through the entrepreneurship literature and offered possible new ways of supporting multiliteracies teachers. We found unique value in doing this research significantly because of its interdisciplinary nature which enables new insight and the development of more connected disciplines and more comprehensive knowledge building, which many other fields can follow.
