Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a hiring discrepancy in the recruiting and hiring process of African American teachers in Ohio (Stein, 2019). The purpose of this descriptive case study was to explore African American teachers' experiences of becoming teachers in Ohio and their suggestions for improving the hiring process. Five research questions guided the study: (a) What were African American teachers' lived experiences of becoming a teacher in Ohio? (b) How do African American teachers perceive the obstacles and catalysts of becoming and remaining teachers in Ohio? (c) How do African American teachers view diversity in the teaching force? (d) What policies do African American teachers recommend to improving the recruitment or hiring procedures? (e) What recommendations do African American teachers have for retaining African American teachers at schools? Interviews and focus group discussion were used to collect data. The participants were 15 African American teachers for the interviews and five African American teachers for the focus group discussion in Ohio. Several significant emergent themes emerged, including they are hard to get the license or certification in Ohio, hired as disciplinarians instead of teachers, lack of diversity in education, satisfactory pay to retain teachers, hard to pass the state licensure test, African American teachers as positive role model in education, and student loan forgiveness for public-school teachers. Recommendations for educational leaders and future researchers were provided.

Book excerpt: In Search of Wholeness: African American Teachers and their Culturally Specific Classroom Practices is a theoretical and practice-oriented treatment of how culture and race influence African American teachers. This collection of essays, edited by Jacqueline Jordan Irvine, assumes that teachers cannot become fully functional persons and competent professionals if their cultural selves remain denied, hidden, and unexplored. Part one reviews the literature related to teachers' race and culture. Part two includes research studies about teachers confronting issues of culture and race in their personal and professional lives. The final chapter focuses on the responses of three of the teachers whose stories are portrayed in the book. In addition to the compelling case studies, other topics explored include: multicultural professional development for African American teachers, African American teachers' perceptions of their professional roles and practices, a comparison of effective black and white teachers of African American students, the development of teacher efficacy of an African American middle school teacher, the professional development journey of an effective African American elementary school teacher, seizing hope through culturally responsive praxis, collective stories on culturally specific pedagogy. In Search of Wholeness is an indispensable and groundbreaking collection that administrators, students, and educators of all ages will not want to be without.

Download or read book Teacher Journeys written by Rita Gilbert Greer EdD and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-24 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where you live does not define who you are or who you can be. Those were the words of a wise woman who did not know that she was a teacher or that her words would be remembered and passed on to future generations long after she died. However, this wise woman did know that to make her belief come to fruition, education was the key. For many African Americans who travelled life’s highway during the twentieth century, caring teachers were their guiding star, their map, their GPS, and their light through the tunnel. Teachers gave students confidence, hope, determination, knowledge, and a feeling of “yes you can.” In this book, the author rejects the idea that anybody can teach and provides clear, distinct criteria for anyone thinking about teaching as a career. The stories she shares also serve as a thank you to all of America’s teachers. Discover how African-American teachers have inspired students to succeed and pay it forward with the remarkable stories in Teacher Journeys. We must have outstanding teachers in today’s schools. Expectations are key to student performance and teacher success. If teachers have realistic expectations, our kids will try to live up to them. No child wants to be a failure and no good teacher wants their students to fail. —Daisy R. Wright, Teacher Without knowledge and skills, opportunities cease. The burden of developing and imparting the knowledge and skills has been placed squarely upon teachers, regardless of how unfair and lopsided it seems. If anyone is thinking about becoming a teacher, he or she must understand that this profession makes the biggest imprint of any occupation in society. —Verna Cahoon, Principal
Book Synopsis Searching for Greener Grass by : Natalie Young
Download or read book Searching for Greener Grass written by Natalie Young and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frequently plagued by high teacher turnover rates, schools in urban areas serving high populations of minority students become labeled as "hard-to-staff schools. Research reflects that African-American teachers are highly populated within these schools. In contrast, the number of African-American teachers employed in suburban schools with smaller numbers of minority students are significantly lower. There is a deficit in the literature examining the experiences of teachers, specifically African-American teachers, who leave urban schools and gain employment in suburban, middle and upper-class schools. Teachers who leave high minority, high-poverty urban schools and gain employment in middle- and upper-class schools in suburban settings have unique experiences. Most research does not explore teachers' experiences in their new school setting. In contrast, this study examines the unique experiences of African-American teachers who left high-poverty, high-minority (HPHM) schools to serve in middle and upper class (MUC) schools. A qualitative approach, specifically a comparative case study model, is used to examine the experiences of participants. The participants are six veteran African-American teachers who have had experiences in both HPHM schools and MUC schools. Their personal narratives were collected through one-on-one interviews, letter writing, and a focus group meeting. The data collected was transcribed and openly coded using NVivo. Using Critical Race Theory and concepts found in Bourdieu's Theory of Practice, this research investigates the inequities experienced by participants. Utilizing critical race theory allows this study to investigate the ways in which race plays a role in the experiences of participates situated within predominately White workspaces. Applying the ideas of cultural capital helps this study to investigate the ways in which participants' non-dominate cultural capital is valued and/or devalued within HPHM and MUC schools. The purpose of this research is to explore how race impacts the experiences of African-American teachers that transitioned from HPHM settings to MUC school settings. Exploring their stories show that racism is not an issue of the past, instead it is embedded in our society and in our day-to-day interactions. Common institutional practices exhibited in schools continue to reproduce inequities between the dominant culture and minorities. This study explores these common practices through examining first-hand experiences of African-American educators in today's classrooms.
Book Synopsis Let Them be Heard by : Stacy L. Coleman
Download or read book Let Them be Heard written by Stacy L. Coleman and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 172African Americans leave the teaching profession at a higher rate than any other group, which has led to a disproportionate number of African Americans in the American urban teaching profession. The purpose of this qualitative study was to provide key stakeholders with an understanding of the experiences of urban African American teachers, which can then inform the American school system of the ideal culture that might enable these teachers to thrive, while also exploring the conditions that perpetuate high attrition rates. From the data analysis four themes emerged: (1) cultural synchronicity, (2) school leadership, (3) racial equity implementations, (4) and racial experiences within schools. The data revealed that participants within urban schools have firsthand experiences with racism, endure microaggressions, need supportive school leadership and are at schools with varying levels of racial equity implementation. Nonetheless, it was discovered that the African American teachers within this research study are resilient and persevere against racism to be committed to their students and a have a strong sense of cultural synchronicity that leads them to continue to teach within urban schools.

This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern Conference on African American Studies, Inc., C. Calvin Smith Book Award This volume highlights the little-known story of Robert R. Church Jr., the most prominent black Republican of the 1920s and 1930s. Tracing Church’s lifelong crusade to make race an important part of the national political conversation, Darius Young reveals how Church was critical to the formative years of the civil rights struggle. A member of the black elite in Memphis, Tennessee, Church was a banker, political mobilizer, and civil rights advocate who worked to create opportunities for the black community despite the notorious Democrat E. H. “Boss” Crump’s hold over Memphis politics. Spurred by the belief that the vote was the most pragmatic path to full citizenship in the United States, Church founded the Lincoln League of America, which advocated for the interests of black voters in over thirty states. He was instrumental in establishing the NAACP throughout the South as it investigated various incidents of racial violence in the Mississippi Delta. At the height of his influence, Church served as an advisor for Presidents Harding and Coolidge, generating greater participation of and recognition for African Americans in the Republican Party. Church’s life and career offer a window into the incremental, behind-the-scenes victories of black voters and leaders during the Jim Crow era that set the foundation for the more nationally visible civil rights movement to follow. Publication of the paperback edition made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
