This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research was limited when it came to the perceptions of rural district and school leaders regarding the recruitment and retention of teachers of color. Beginning in 2021 2022, Tennessee’s Educator Diversity Policy, 5.700 outlined requirements for local education agencies to submit goals, plans, and strategies to promote the recruitment and retention of teachers of color with the consideration of the population of students of color who are enrolled compared to teachers of color who are employed within schools. Due to the increasing enrollment of students of color in public schools, the increasing diversity of the workforce in the United States, and the positive outcomes that teachers of color had for all students, but specifically for students of color, research was necessary to understand what strategies could be utilized by rural district leaders and rural school leaders to support the recruitment and retention of teachers of color in public K 12 rural Tennessee schools. In this qualitative, interpretive study, seven rural district leaders and seven rural school leaders completed the questionnaire. I discovered rural district and school leaders, who were responsible for submitting goals, plans, and strategies to the state of Tennessee, as well as for the recruitment and retention of teachers of color, did not feel equipped to provide specific strategies, and organizational support geared toward the recruitment and retention of teachers of color.
Book Synopsis Status of Recruitment, Retention, and Hiring of Minority Teachers by : Tennessee State Board of Education, Nashville
Download or read book Status of Recruitment, Retention, and Hiring of Minority Teachers written by Tennessee State Board of Education, Nashville and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, the State Board of Education cited a shortage of minority teachers in Tennessee. In 1988, The Tennessee Task Force on the Supply of Minority Teachers issued several recommendations--most of which were implemented--to increase the number of minority teachers. In 1989, House Joint Resolution 36 also requested an annual report on the status of minority teachers be submitted to the Senate and House K-12 Education Sub-Committee of the Tennessee General Assembly. Legislation was adopted in 1993 urging each local board of education to establish reasonable, incremental goals for the recruitment, employment, and retention of African-American teachers in numbers which reflect the percentage of African-Americans within the community served by the local education agency. The Department of Education prepares the annual report, collecting information from the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation, Tennessee Education Association, public and private colleges and universities with teacher licensure programs, and local school systems. This report is included in this document. The Board annually reviews the report with regard to the "Master Plan for Tennessee Schools" and the priorities of the "Teacher Education Policy." The Board has worked with others to streamline the scholarship loan programs for minority teachers and with the help of the General Assembly has achieved full funding of the program. The next step is to improve funding for the minority education grant program as called for in the "Master Plan." Appended are: (1) Supply of Minority Teachers Statistical Summary Tables; and (2) Minority Matching Grants Awardees. (Contains 16 tables.) [Included in this document is: Report to the State Board of Education on the Status of Minority Classroom Teachers in Tennessee, compiled by the Tennessee Department of Education.].
Book Synopsis Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention by : Carol R. Rinke
Download or read book Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention written by Carol R. Rinke and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding teachers’ careers across the professional lifespan. Grounded in the notion that teachers’ voices are essential for understanding teachers’ lives, this edited volume contains chapters that privilege the voices of teachers above all. Book sections look closely at the particular issues that arise when recruiting an effective, committed, and diverse workforce, as well as the challenges that arise once teachers are immersed in the classroom setting. Promising directions are also included for particularly high-need areas such as early childhood teachers, Black male teachers, STEM teachers, and urban teachers. The book concludes with a call for self-care in teachers’ lives. Chapter contributions come from a variety of contexts across the United States and around the world. However, regardless of context or methodology, these chapters point to the importance of valuing and respecting teachers’ lives and work. Moreover, they demonstrate that teacher recruitment and retention is a complex and multifaceted issue that cannot be addressed through simplistic policy changes. Rather, attending to and appreciating the web of influences on teachers lives and careers is the only way to support their work and the impact they have on our next generation of students.

Book Synopsis Perceptions on a District-led, School Leader Preparation Program in Tennessee by : Amanda Arnold
Download or read book Perceptions on a District-led, School Leader Preparation Program in Tennessee written by Amanda Arnold and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this qualitative case study of a district-led, school leader preparation program in Tennessee during the 2021-2022 school year, I sought to reveal district stakeholder perceptions using an open-ended questionnaire, on the design, possible benefits, and possible challenges of the district’s Associate Principal Program. For this study, questionnaires were sent to four district stakeholder groups: district leaders, school leaders, associate principals, and teachers. After reading and synthesizing 37 responses from district stakeholders along with analyzing the district’s Associate Principal Guidebook, Associate Principal Monthly Collaborative 2021-2022 agendas, and the Associate Principal Summer Retreat 2021-2022 agenda, three themes emerged regarding stakeholders’ perceptions of the Associate Principal Program.The first theme was a need for more intentional recruitment strategies in the design of the Associate Principal Program in order to better build leadership capacity. The second theme focused around how the Associate Principal Program provided benefits for the school district, schools, and associate principals, such as extra administrative support and job embedded leadership experience for associate principals. The final theme focused around challenges of the Associate Principal Program for the school district, schools, and associate principals; these challenges included associate principal attrition and the design of the Associate Principal Program that required a new associate principal every three years at each school. This study was foundational and could be used as the framework for future studies exploring district-led, school leader preparation programs.
Book Synopsis Teacher Education and Black Communities by : Chance W. Lewis
Download or read book Teacher Education and Black Communities written by Chance W. Lewis and published by IAP. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of education has been and will continue to be essential to the survival and sustainability of the Black community. Unfortunately, over the past five decades, two major trends have become clearly evident in the Black community: (a) the decline of the academic achievement levels of Black students and (b) the disappearance of Black teachers, particularly Black males. Today, of the 3.5 million teachers in America’s classrooms (AACTE, 2010) only 8% are Black teachers, and approximately 2% of these teachers are Black males (NCES, 2010). Over the past few decades, the Black teaching force in the U.S. has dropped significantly (Lewis, 2006; Lewis, Bonner, Byrd, & James, 2008; Milner & Howard, 2004), and this educational crisis shows no signs of ending in the near future. As the population of Black students in K-12 schools in the U. S. continue to rise—currently over 16% of students in America’s schools are Black (NCES, 2010)—there is an urgent need to increase the presence of Black educators. The overall purpose of this edited volume is to stimulate thought and discussion among diverse audiences (e.g., policymakers, practitioners, and educational researchers) who are concerned about the performance of Black students in our nation’s schools, and to provide evidence-based strategies to expand our nation’s pool of Black teachers. To this end, it is our hope that this book will contribute to the teacher education literature and will inform the teacher education policy and practice debate.
Book Synopsis Men Educators of Color in U.S. Public Schools and Abroad by : Ashley N. Woodson
Download or read book Men Educators of Color in U.S. Public Schools and Abroad written by Ashley N. Woodson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects the diversity and possibility of critical research in education, with an emphasis on the examination of the intersections of social identities for men teachers of color, and the relationship between social identity and struggles for political and professional agency. The authors address race and race inequality in education and provide a strong theoretical foundation for filling the empirical gap on men teachers of color by engaging in questions such as: How do critical considerations of the intersection of race, gender, and profession inform the future of teacher education? What does it mean to be ‘men’ or ‘of color’ in the context of the teaching profession in the U.S. and abroad? What are the aims of ethnoracial diversity in the field of education? The research included in this edited volume explores topics including, but not limited to, men teachers of color and their perceived pathways to the profession; their perceptions of and partnerships with colleagues of other genders; their sexual and gendered identities and performances; and how they embrace, reject, or negotiate the expectations of performing as a role model in classrooms. Moreover, the chapters provide explicit implications for teachers, teacher educators, university, and PK-12 administrators, education activists, and/or education policymakers. In sum, this volume charts a new landscape in education research for all men teachers of color. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Race Ethnicity and Education.

Book Synopsis Recruitment and Retention of Kindergarten Through Grade 12 African American Male Educators in Rural Environments by : Shannon T. Lewis
Download or read book Recruitment and Retention of Kindergarten Through Grade 12 African American Male Educators in Rural Environments written by Shannon T. Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American male teachers represent a disproportionately low number of educators in the American public school system. This lack of representation has implications for understanding, interacting with and educating the growing population of students of African descent in public schools. In addition, all students benefit from experiencing African American males in classrooms for cultural and educational reasons. For these reasons, recruiting and retaining African American males for careers in education is imperative. This dissertation investigated the reasons African American males do not select careers in education given the history of this career and its prominence for people of African descent. Using Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a theoretical framework, this phenomenological study addressed barriers that African American men may face in pursuing a career in education. Six African American male educators (elementary, middle and high school levels) from three school districts in rural Arkansas were interviewed to ascertain their views on why African American males were not pursuing degrees and careers in education. A qualitative analysis of participant interviews explored economic, academic, social and cultural factors affecting black males in deciding to enter the teaching profession. Specifically, African American males described a lack of positive African American male role models, financial hardship as a deterrent to college enrollment, and expectation of inadequate professional salary. The study focused on five emergent themes that elucidate a more complete understanding of barriers faced by African American male educators: (1) Stereotypes of African American males; (2) Motivations to teach; (3) Barriers faced by African American men in becoming teachers; (4) Specific problems encountered in the classroom; and (5) Encouraging other African American men to teach. Keywords: Critical Race Theory, African American male educators, recruitment, teacher shortage.

This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume highlights approaches to closing the achievement gap for students of color across K-12 and post-secondary schooling. It uniquely examines factors outside the classroom to consider how these influence student identity and academic performance. Teaching to Close the Achievement Gap for Students of Color offers wide-ranging chapters that explore non-curricular issues including trauma, family background, restorative justice, refugee experiences, and sport as determinants of student and teacher experiences in the classroom. Through rigorous empirical and theoretical engagement, chapters identify culturally responsive strategies for supporting students as they navigate formal and informal educational opportunities and overcome intersectional barriers to success. In particular, chapters highlight how these approaches can be nurtured through teacher education, effective educational leadership, and engagement across the wider community. This insightful collection will be of interest to researchers, scholars, and post-graduate students in the fields of teacher education, sociology of education, and educational leadership.
Book Synopsis Report to the State Board of Education on the Status of Minority Teachers in Tennessee, 2004 by : Tennessee State Department. of Education, Nashville

This book was released on 2004 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, the State Board of Education cited a shortage of minority teachers in Tennessee. In 1988, The Tennessee Task Force on the Supply of Minority Teachers issued recommendations to increase the number of minority teachers. In 1989, House Joint Resolution 36 also requested an annual report on the status of minority teachers be submitted to the Senate and House K-12 Education Sub-Committees of the Tennessee General Assembly. Legislation was adopted in 1993 urging each local board of education to establish reasonable, incremental goals for the recruitment, employment, and retention of African-American teachers in numbers which reflect the percentage of African-Americans within the community served by the local education agency. This report discusses the need for minority recruitment and retention, and efforts to increase minority representation among the ranks of Tennessee teachers. School systems are making strides to increase the number of African American educators and minority educators in Tennessee schools; however, more effort is needed. The number of minority students in Tennessee public school classrooms is increasing each year. The number of classroom teachers with 30+ years of experience further emphasizes the accelerated need to establish and implement minority recruitment and retention strategies. The development, implementation, and evaluation of local recruitment and retention plans are needed in order to enhance placement efforts. As the new data system comes on line our hopes are that accuracy as to race and ethnicity will improve. The system is in the pilot stage. The report concludes that Tennessee must continue efforts to attract and retain African American and minority educators and improve data collection to reflect more accurately the number of educators with regard to race and ethnicity. Statistical Summary Tables and Minority Grant Awardee information are appended. (Contains 17 tables.).
