Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, one in a series focusing on Indiana teachers, presents findings regarding the patterns of teacher attrition among full-time teachers in Indiana from 1965-1987. It considers (1) whether teachers are leaving the profession at growing rates, (2) the roles played by compensation and working conditions in retaining teachers, (3) whether shortages of teachers are likely, (4) whether more attractive job opportunities are increasing attrition rates for women teachers, (5) types of teachers that stay longest in the profession, and (6) how attrition rates differ by subject taught. The findings indicate that teacher trends have been greatly affected by the changing pattern of women's participation in the labor force. Women teachers have followed the general trend among women of strongly increasing full-time participation in the labor force. The outlook for future trends in teacher attrition is mixed. Teacher attrition rates should remain low by historical standards for the next ten years, provided pay levels are maintained in real terms. The other factors that have restrained attrition rates should continue to do so. These include the presence of a predominantly mid- to late-career teaching force; strong labor-force participation for women; increased proportions of newly entering, older teachers; and declining class sizes. In the longer term, teacher attrition rates will rise as the larger group of mid- to late-career teachers retires and is replaced by younger teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the patterns of teacher attrition among full-time teachers in Indiana from 1965 to 1987. The study's objectives were to assess the current state of teacher supply and demand in Indiana, recommend policies to ensure an adequate supply of certified teachers, and provide the Indiana State Department of Education with the capability to monitor and perform future assessments of teacher supply and demand. The introduction outlines a rationale for the study and provides definitions of attrition. The report goes on to present and discuss a theory of teacher attrition, to examine trends in attrition in Indiana and patterns of attrition among new teacher cohorts, and to analyze attrition over the career and over the first four years after entry using multivariate analysis. Study findings include, among others: (1) both annual and permanent teacher attrition rates have fallen steadily over time with the exception of a period in the late 1970s characterized by involuntary reductions in staff; (2) attrition in entering cohorts of new teachers is at its lowest level in 25 years; and (3) lower attrition of women teachers during early to mid-career accounts for a significant portion of the overall attrition decline. An appendix provides regression estimates for Cox models of teacher attrition. The main report is preceded by a substantial summary of its contents. (Contains 28 references.) (JDD)

Book excerpt: This report presents information regarding the patterns of variation in the salaries paid to public and private school teachers in relation to various personal and job characteristics. Specifically, the analysis examines the relationship between compensation and variables such as public/private schools, gender, race/ethnic background, school level and type, teacher qualifications, and different work environments. The economic conceptual framework of hedonic wage theory, which illuminates the trade-offs between monetary rewards and the various sets of characteristics of employees and jobs, was used to analyze The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) database. The national survey was administered by the National Center for Education Statistics during the 1987-88, 1990-91, and 1993-94 school years. Findings indicate that on average, public school teachers earned between about 25 to 119 percent higher salaries than did private school teachers, depending on the private subsector. Between about 2 and 50 percent of the public-private difference could be accounted for by differences in teacher characteristics, depending on the private subsector. White and Hispanic male public school teachers earned higher salaries than their female counterparts. Hedonic wage theory would predict that teacher salaries would be higher in schools with more challenging, more difficult, and less desirable work environments. Schools with higher levels of student violence, lower levels of administrative support, and large class sizes paid higher salaries to compensate teachers for the additional burdens. However, some of the findings contradict the hypothesis. For example, public school teachers working in schools characterized by fewer family problems, higher levels of teacher influence on policy, and higher job satisfaction also received higher salaries. In conclusion, the results are consistent with the hypothesis that a complex array of factors underlie the processes of teacher supply and demand and hence the determination of salaries. Teachers are not all the same, but are differentiated by their attributes. At the same time, districts and schools are differentiated by virtue of the work environment they offer. Seventeen tables and two figures are included. Appendices contain technical notes, descriptive statistics and parameter estimates for variables, and standard errors for selected tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP), this groundbreaking new handbook assembles in one place the existing research-based knowledge in education finance and policy, thereby helping to define this evolving field of research and practice. It provides a readily available resource for anyone seriously involved in education finance and policy in the United States and around the world. The Handbook traces the evolution of the field from its initial focus on school inputs and the revenue sources used to finance these inputs to a focus on educational outcomes and the larger policies used to achieve them. It shows how the current decision-making context in school finance inevitably interacts with those of governance, accountability, equity, privatization, and other areas of education policy. Because a full understanding of the important contemporary issues requires input from a variety of perspectives, the Handbook draws on contributors from a variety of disciplines. While many of the chapters cover complex state-of-the-art empirical research, the authors explain key concepts in language that non-specialists can understand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heated debate is raging over our nation’s public schools and how they should be reformed, with proposals ranging from imposing national standards to replacing public education altogether with a voucher system for private schools. Combining decades of experience in education, the authors propose an innovative approach to solving the problems of our school system and find a middle ground between these extremes. Reinventing Public Education shows how contracting would radically change the way we operate our schools, while keeping them public and accessible to all, and making them better able to meet standards of achievement and equity. Using public funds, local school boards would select private providers to operate individual schools under formal contracts specifying the type and quality of instruction. In a hands-on, concrete fashion, the authors provide a thorough explanation of the pros and cons of school contracting and how it would work in practice. They show how contracting would free local school boards from operating schools so they can focus on improving educational policy; how it would allow parents to choose the best school for their children; and, finally, how it would ensure that schools are held accountable and academic standards are met. While retaining a strong public role in education, contracting enables schools to be more imaginative, adaptable, and suited to the needs of children and families. In presenting an alternative vision for America’s schools, Reinventing Public Education is too important to be ignored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book builds on the Teachers Empowered to Advance Change in Mathematics (TEACH Math) project, which was an initiative that sought to develop a new generation of preK-8 mathematics teachers to connect mathematics, children’s mathematical thinking, and community and family knowledge in mathematics instruction – or what we have come to call children’s multiple mathematical knowledge bases in mathematics instruction, with an explicit focus on equity. Much of the work involved in the TEACH Math project included the development of three instructional modules for preK-8 mathematics methods courses to support the project’s goals. These activities were used and refined over eight semesters, and in Fall 2014 shared at a dissemination conference with other mathematics teacher educators from a variety of universities across the United States. Chapter contributions represent diverse program and geographical contexts and teach prospective and practicing teachers from a variety of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds, in particular providing accounts of supports, challenges, and tensions in implementing equity-based mathematics teacher education. The chapters supply rich evidence and illustrative examples of how other mathematics teacher educators and professional developers might make the modules work for their unique practices, courses, workshops, and prospective teachers/teachers. It promises to be an important resource for offering guidance and examples to those working with prospective teachers of mathematics who want to create positive, culturally responsive, and equity-based mathematics experiences for our nation’s youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years, alternative certification for teachers has emerged as a major avenue of teacher preparation. The proliferation of new pathways has spurred heated debate over how best to recruit, prepare, and support qualified teachers. Alternative Routes to Teaching provides a thorough and dispassionate review of the research evidence on alternative certification. It takes readers beyond the simple dichotomies that have characterized the debate over alternative certification, encourages them to look carefully at the trade-offs implicit in any route into teaching, and suggests ways to “marry” the proven strengths of both traditional and alternative approaches.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to develop a model to predict the retention, turnover, and attrition of K-12 music teachers in the United States. Responses to the 1999-2000 Schools and Staffing Survey and 2000-2001 Teacher Followup Survey provided information regarding teacher attributes, job attributes, school attributes, and teacher opinions and perceptions of the workplace. The sample of 47,857 K-12 public and private school teachers included a nationally and professionally representative sub-sample of 1,903 music teachers. Descriptive and comparative statistics were calculated to profile U.S. music teachers and to compare them to teachers of other disciplines on various personal and professional attributes. Factor analysis, logistic regression, and structural equation modeling were utilized to develop an analytical model to predict music teacher retention, turnover, and attrition. Compared to their non-music counterparts, music teachers were far more likely to hold itinerant or part-time positions, to teach students in secondary grades, and, although they taught fewer students with IEPs, were less likely to receive support for working with them. Music teachers were less likely to teach in urban schools, or in schools with higher percentages of non-White students. Music teachers felt that they had little influence over school-wide policies, but believed that they had substantial autonomy over their instructional practices. Music teachers left for other teaching positions due to dissatisfaction with their previous workplace conditions and because they felt the new teaching assignments were better. Music teachers left the teaching profession to retire, for better salary or benefits, or because of pregnancy or child rearing. Music teachers who took jobs outside of teaching were generally more satisfied in their new field. Music teacher job and career satisfaction were significantly related to gender, grade level taught, base salary, concerns about student attendance, and concerns about students' parental support. Perceived administrative support and recognition had the most prominent influence on both music teacher satisfaction and retention, along with age, years of experience, level of education, and control over classroom instruction. Certain attributes were significant predictors of retention for all music teachers, but opinions and perceptions of the workplace were significant only for male music teacher retention.
