Book excerpt: Teacher attrition is endemic in education, creating teacher quantity and quality gaps across schools that are often stratified by region and racialized nuance (Cowan et al., 2016; Scafidi et al., 2017). This reality is starkly reflected in South Carolina. Not too long ago, on May 1, 2019, a sea of approximately 10,000 people, dressed in red, convened at the state capital in downtown Columbia, SC (Bowers, 2019b). This statewide teacher walkout was assembled to call for the improvement of teachers' working conditions and the learning conditions of their students. The gathering was the largest display of teacher activism in the history of South Carolina and reflected a trend in a larger wave of teacher walkouts that have rippled across the nation over the last five years. The crowd comprised teachers from across South Carolina, who walked out of their classrooms for the gathering, as well as numerous students, parents, university faculty, and other community members that rallied with teachers in solidarity. Undergirding this walkout and others that took hold across the country is a perennial and pervasive pattern of unfavorable teacher working conditions that have contributed to what some are calling a teacher shortage “crisis” (Chuck, 2019). We have focused our work specifically on the illustrative case of South Carolina, given the extreme teacher staffing challenges the state is facing. Across numerous metrics, the South Carolina teacher shortage has reached critical levels, influenced by teacher recruitment and retention challenges. For instance, the number of teacher education program completers has declined annually, dropping from 2,060 in 2014-15 to 1,642 in the 2018-19 school year. Meanwhile, the number of teachers leaving the teaching field has increased from 4,108.1 to 5,341.3 across that same period (CERRA, 2019). These trends are likely to continue as COVID-19 has put additional pressure on the already fragile teacher labor market. Some of the hardest-to-staff districts are often located in communities with the highest diversity and poverty. To prosper and progress, reformers and public stakeholders must have a vested interest in maintaining full classrooms and strengthening the teaching workforce. An important element of progress towards tackling these longstanding challenges is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the problem. While teacher shortages are occurring nationwide (Garcia & Weiss, 2019), how they manifest regionally is directly influenced by its localized historical context and the evolution of the teaching profession's reputation within a state. Thus, the impetus of this book is to use South Carolina as an illustrative example to discuss the context and evolution that has shaped the status of the teaching profession that has led to a boiling point of mass teacher shortages and the rise of historic teacher walkouts.
Book Synopsis The Age of Teacher Shortages by : Ernest J. Zarra
Download or read book The Age of Teacher Shortages written by Ernest J. Zarra and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Age of Teacher Shortages is a practical look at the reasons for teacher shortages in schools across America, and suggests solutions. These shortages are wide-reaching and becoming more extensive with each passing year. Although the bulk of the teacher shortages are within those which are state-trained and conventionally credentialed, private schools are also reeling under the pressure of insufficient staffing. Is there just a downturn in adults desiring to be in the teaching profession, or are there other elements at work? This book details elements within American culture that are causing teachers to leave the profession early. In addition to this attrition, the reasons less students are enrolling in programs other than traditional teacher education programs are also explored. Regardless the reasons for decreases in enrollment, the effect are negative upon states, school districts, and families across the United States. There are emergency efforts under way to address teacher shortages. Departments of education and local school districts are applying different certification and credentialing strategies to both attract and keep teachers employed. Many wonder what the overall, long-term effects of these new methods of employing teachers will be upon education in America. This book engages these questions, and more. In so doing, it provides a realistic look into the impacts of teacher shortages, alternative certifications, and causes of changes in twenty-first century American culture.

This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best-selling book of easy-to-implement classroom lessons from the world’s premier educational system—now available in paperback. Finland shocked the world when its fifteen-year-olds scored highest on the first Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a set of tests evaluating critical-thinking skills in math, science, and reading. That was in 2001; even today, this tiny Nordic nation continues to amaze. How does Finnish education—with short school days, light homework loads, and little standardized testing—produce students who match the PISA scores of other nations with more traditional “work ethic” standards? When Timothy Walker started teaching fifth graders at a Helsinki public school, he began a search for the secrets behind the successes of Finland’s education system. Highlighting specific strategies that support joyful K–12 classrooms and can be integrated with U.S. educational standards, this book, available in paperback for the first time, gathers what he learned and shows how any teacher can implement many of Finland's best practices. A new foreword by the author addresses the urgent questions of teaching, and living, in these pandemic times.

Book Synopsis Where Did All the Teachers Go? by : Aaron Acosta
Download or read book Where Did All the Teachers Go? written by Aaron Acosta and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The teaching population has experienced a significant decline as a result of many contributing factors such as student emotional issues, work overload, as well as societal devaluing of the teaching profession. This decrease in the teaching population is not only leading to an increased pressure on the educational system, but inequalities related to the quality of education students will receive. The purpose of this study is to determine the research question: To what extent do teachers identify factors leading to teacher retention, job satisfaction, sense of belonging, and value in the profession? The awareness an administrator has in understanding what makes a teacher satisfied and willing to stay in the profession can either make a school site successful or can lead to a decline of morale within the school. Previous research found correlation between teachers' voice within a school site, administrators as well as the level of appreciation a teacher feels within our society. But, with the addition of the recent pandemic, the researcher sought out to learn what changed in the recent present with teacher satisfaction. The researcher utilized a qualitative case study in order to gain a deeper understanding of the research question. First the researcher anonymously surveyed all willing teachers at a school in North San Diego County, then the researcher followed up with one on one interviews for a select number of teachers from the researched school. The researcher used in vivo coding in order to determine themes and descriptive codes related to the research question. The researcher then utilized intercoder reliability with a member of the Cal State University, San Marcos faculty in order to ensure validity and reliability. Research showed that the most significant factor that drives teacher satisfaction was related to the interaction between the teacher and the administrator. The teacher wants a strong, supportive administrator who is willing to involve themselves in the disciplinary process of the students. Within the research, the researcher identified the rise in behavioral and social emotional issues of the post pandemic student. This rise is a relatively new occurrence and has only been identified in post pandemic research. The recommendations related to the research involve the implementation of behavioral support systems for parents of students with behavioral issues, increased counseling services, community building activities, and behavioral expectations of the administrator. By utilizing the recommendations, especially related to the rise in behavioral/social emotional issues, the school system can begin to fight back against the rising cases of extreme behavior educators are seeing in students in these post pandemic times. The value and happiness of a teacher is related to the support systems as well as the behaviors the modern teacher experiences in their day to day lives. This study concluded that by creating a family like environment of teachers, having a strong supportive administrator and ensuring students have their emotional needs met, the decline of happiness in the teaching profession can possibly be reversed
