Book Synopsis Preparing Preservice Teachers for Working with Linguistically Diverse Students by : Emily Evans Fanaeian
Download or read book Preparing Preservice Teachers for Working with Linguistically Diverse Students written by Emily Evans Fanaeian and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dramatic increases in the enrollment of linguistically diverse students within U.S. public schools coupled with increased expectations for all students to interact with complex texts, rich disciplinary language, and academic discourse features highlights an increasing need for repositioning language and language expertise in the classroom. Such changes signal a corresponding need for a paradigm shift within teacher preparation programs and capacity building amongst teacher educators. This qualitative, multi-case study investigates the efforts of five university-based teacher preparation programs across the U.S. selected as positive exemplars of diverse approaches to support teacher candidates' work with linguistically diverse students. Framed within a sociocultural paradigm, the study utilizes an ecological systems perspective and theories of dialogism to analyze the intersecting and overlapping social, political, and cultural factors which may influence program design, shape intentional supports for individual teacher educators, and impact the beliefs and practices of teacher candidates. Drawing upon ethnographic methods, data was sourced through four methods: 1) artifact collection of programmatic and public documents, 2) individual interviews with teacher education faculty and recent graduates, 3) observational field notes from visits to teacher education courses and K-12 classrooms, and 4) field notes and reflexive memos from campus visits. Findings describe multiple options for programs to support teacher candidate learning around teaching English learners (ELs), characterizing each approach not only by the particular programmatic structures required but also by the impact on demands for faculty autonomy, collaboration or shared expertise, connections with clinical experiences, and the resulting depth of candidate knowledge. Further, the analysis of institutional practices, structures, and resources available to support faculty learning and capacity building efforts for teacher educators at these institutions confirms the importance of developing teacher educator capacity to support the delivery of programmatic content related to language education. Lastly, the examination of data from recent graduates offers insights into the impact of both individual factors and planned learning experiences on graduates' professional practices supporting ELs, while exposing tensions between what programs prepare teachers to do and how this is actualized in schools.

Book Synopsis Multicultural Science Education by : Mary M. Atwater
Download or read book Multicultural Science Education written by Mary M. Atwater and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers valuable guidance for science teacher educators looking for ways to facilitate preservice and inservice teachers’ pedagogy relative to teaching students from underrepresented and underserved populations in the science classroom. It also provides solutions that will better equip science teachers of underrepresented student populations with effective strategies that challenge the status quo, and foster classrooms environment that promotes equity and social justice for all of their science students. Multicultural Science Education illuminates historically persistent, yet unresolved issues in science teacher education from the perspectives of a remarkable group of science teacher educators and presents research that has been done to address these issues. It centers on research findings on underserved and underrepresented groups of students and presents frameworks, perspectives, and paradigms that have implications for transforming science teacher education. In addition, the chapters provide an analysis of the socio-cultural-political consequences in the ways in which science teacher education is theoretically conceptualized and operationalized in the United States. The book provides teacher educators with a framework for teaching through a lens of equity and social justice, one that may very well help teachers enhance the participation of students from traditionally underrepresented and underserved groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) areas and help them realize their full potential in science. Moreover, science educators will find this book useful for professional development workshops and seminars for both novice and veteran science teachers. "Multicultural Science Education: Preparing Teachers for Equity and Social Justice directly addresses the essential role that science teacher education plays for the future of an informed and STEM knowledgeable citizenry. The editors and authors review the beginnings of multicultural science education, and then highlight findings from studies on issues of equity, underrepresentation, cultural relevancy, English language learning, and social justice. The most significant part of this book is the move to the policy level—providing specific recommendations for policy development, implementation, assessment and analysis, with calls to action for all science teacher educators, and very significantly, all middle and high school science teachers and prospective teachers. By emphasizing the important role that multicultural science education has played in providing the knowledge base and understanding of exemplary science education, Multicultural Science Education: Preparing Teachers for Equity and Social Justice gives the reader a scope and depth of the field, along with examples of strategies to use with middle and high school students. These classroom instructional strategies are based on sound science and research. Readers are shown the balance between research-based data driven models articulated with successful instructional design. Science teacher educators will find this volume of great value as they work with their pre-service and in-service teachers about how to address and infuse multicultural science education within their classrooms. For educators to be truly effective in their classrooms, they must examine every component of the learning and teaching process. Multicultural Science Education: Preparing Teachers for Equity and Social Justice provides not only the intellectual and research bases underlying multicultural studies in science education, but also the pragmatic side. All teachers and teacher educators can infuse these findings and recommendations into their classrooms in a dynamic way, and ultimately provide richer learning experiences for all students." Patricia Simmons, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA "This provocative collection of chapters is a presentation in gutsiness. Ingenious in construction and sequencing, this book will influence science teacher educators by introducing them to issues of equity and social justice directly related to women and people of color. The authors unflinchingly interrogate issues of equity which need to be addressed in science education courses. "This provocative collection of chapters is a presentation in gutsiness. Ingenious in construction and sequencing, this book will influence science teacher educators by introducing them to issues of equity and social justice directly related to women and people of color. The authors unflinchingly interrogate issues of equity which need to be addressed in science education courses. It begins with setting current cultural and equity issue within a historic frame. The first chapter sets the scene by moving the reader through 400 years in which African-American’s were ‘scientifically excluded from science’. This is followed by a careful review of the Jim Crow era, an analysis of equity issues of women and ends with an examination of sociocultural consciousness and culturally responsive teaching. Two chapters comprise the second section. Each chapter examines the role of the science teacher in providing a safe place by promoting equity and social justice in the classroom. The three chapters in the third section focus on secondary science teachers. Each addresses issues of preparation that provides new teachers with understanding of equity and provokes questions of good teaching. Section four enhances and expands the first section as the authors suggest cultural barriers the impact STEM engagement by marginalized groups. The last section, composed of three chapters, interrogates policy issues that influence the science classroom." Molly Weinburgh, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, USA

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The achievement of students of color continues to be disproportionately low at all levels of education. More than ever, Geneva Gay's foundational book on culturally responsive teaching is essential reading in addressing the needs of today's diverse student population. Combining insights from multicultural education theory and research with real-life classroom stories, Gay demonstrates that all students will perform better on multiple measures of achievement when teaching is filtered through their own cultural experiences. This bestselling text has been extensively revised to include expanded coverage of student ethnic groups: African and Latino Americans as well as Asian and Native Americans as well as new material on culturally diverse communication, addressing common myths about language diversity and the effects of "English Plus" instruction.
Book Synopsis Preparing Teachers for Young and Adolescent Multilingual Learners by : Huili Hong
Download or read book Preparing Teachers for Young and Adolescent Multilingual Learners written by Huili Hong and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multilingual learners (MLs) students spend most of their school time with their teachers, who often feel professionally unprepared to meet their linguistically diverse students' needs. As such, preparing teachers for increasing numbers of multilingual learners (MLs) has become a critical factor in promoting equity and success for all students in our global society. This book explores and highlights the reflective narratives of teacher educators, in-service, and preservice teachers. It shows how these narratives are grounded in their personal lives, professional training, and daily teaching, and how they can unfold the complexities in their various experiences and the rich implications for MLs teaching and teacher preparation. The book presents papers that utilize teachers' reflective narratives to prepare and train teachers who are or will be working with MLs. It discusses the challenges and implications of teaching groups of MLs made up of diverse learners, including immigrants, refugees, and learners with disabilities. 'This book seeks to change the narrative of some of our most vulnerable student populations by giving voice to the experiences, challenges, success, and best practices encountered in the international education landscape. The power contained within each chapter is the systematic and intentional reflections that bring the marginalized stories to the center of the discussion. Anyone seeking an understanding of how reflective narrative can build equity and social justice for multilingual learners will appreciate the breadth of experience described. This understanding is critical for culturally and linguistically diverse teaching and learning.' Jordan González, Ph.D., St. John's University, NY

Book Synopsis Preservice Teachers' Attitudes Toward Their Preparedness to Teach Culturally Diverse Student Populations by : Lashonda DeJuan Brown
Download or read book Preservice Teachers' Attitudes Toward Their Preparedness to Teach Culturally Diverse Student Populations written by Lashonda DeJuan Brown and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is a nation of many diverse cultures. Recent demographics suggest that public school enrollment has increased 73% over the past two decades for both secondary and elementary schools. By the year 2020, minority students will comprise 44% of the public school enrollment (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2008). The public school is faced with an increased enrollment of students from diverse social, cultural, political, and economic groups. This change in demographics within the nation suggests that many preservice teachers in the K-12 setting will be teaching students from cultural backgrounds that differ from their own. The decrease in academic achievement among minority students and the overall poor academic performance of secondary students have forced the country to address the challenges of education and how to educate our nation's children (Berresford, 2008). A critical issue challenging the field of education is the preparation of preservice teachers for multicultural, multiethnic settings. Research studies have shown that many preservice teachers enter the field of teaching lacking the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to effectively instruct culturally diverse students (Gay, 2000). This study examines the attitudes of student teachers completing their student teaching experience and how they perceive their ability to teach culturally diverse student populations. Two four-year institutions located within the northern region of Alabama were selected for the study. The methodology for the study included both quantitative and qualitative data. A survey was collected to evaluate the attitudes of student teachers on their ability to teach culturally diverse student populations. Analysis of the quantitative data did not show any statistical gains in student attitudes toward their preparedness to teach culturally diverse student populations. An interview was conducted with the participants and transcribed for emerging themes to support the questions guiding the research study. All of the participants indicated the need for teacher education programs to initiate changes that would provide opportunities for preservice teachers to enhance their multicultural skills and knowledge.

Discussing topics such as virtual classrooms, critical literacy, and teacher preparation, this book serves as an ideal resource for tenure- track faculty in literacy education, clinical faculty, field supervisors who work with preservice teacher educators, community college faculty, university faculty who are in the midst of reconceptualizing undergraduate teacher education curriculum, mentor teachers working with preservice teachers, district personnel, researchers, students, and curricula developers who wish to understand the needs of preservice teacher education.
Book Synopsis Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning by : Linda Darling-Hammond
Download or read book Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning written by Linda Darling-Hammond and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning answers an urgent call for teachers who educate children from diverse backgrounds to meet the demands of a changing world. In today’s knowledge economy, teachers must prioritize problem-solving ability, adaptability, critical thinking, and the development of interpersonal and collaborative skills over rote memorization and the passive transmission of knowledge. Authors Linda Darling-Hammond and Jeannie Oakes and their colleagues examine what this means for teacher preparation and showcase the work of programs that are educating for deeper learning, equity, and social justice. Guided by the growing knowledge base in the science of learning and development, the book examines teacher preparation programs at Alverno College, Bank Street College of Education, High Tech High’s Intern Program, Montclair State University, San Francisco Teacher Residency, Trinity University, and University of Colorado Denver. These seven programs share a common understanding of how people learn that shape similar innovative practices. With vivid examples of teaching for deeper learning in coursework and classrooms; interviews with faculty, school partners, and novice teachers; surveys of teacher candidates and graduates; and analyses of curriculum and practices, Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning depicts transformative forms of teaching and teacher preparation that honor and expand all students’ abilities, knowledges, and experiences, and reaffirm the promise of educating for a better world.

This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with TESOL Press There is a growing need for knowledge and practical ideas about the preparation of teachers for English language learners (ELLs), a growing segment of the K-12 population in the United States. This book is for teachers, administrators, and teacher educators looking for innovative ways to prepare teachers for ELLs and will position teachers to empower these students. This volume will appeal mostly to those preparing teachers in contexts that have not have historically had large numbers of ELLs, but have had a high rate of recent growth (e.g., Midwestern U.S.). This work is the combination of teacher preparation and ELL issues. This volume is unique in tackling pre-service and inservice teacher preparation. Additionally, the chapters collectively aim to go beyond merely equipping teachers to meet the needs of ELLs, but to reach a level of effectiveness with the outcome of equity. The book highlights the knowledge, skills, and beliefs of teachers about ELLs. Part I addresses teacher perceptions of, and beliefs about, ELLs and teacher preparation specifically addressing what they should know in terms of students’ perspectives. Chapters attend to the experiences and beliefs of immigrant teachers about their roles, the role of service learning in teacher preparation, and the potential of understanding home literacy practices to change teacher beliefs about ELLs. Part II focuses on skills necessary to teach ELLs—writing skills teachers can draw on to inform their teaching practices, technological skills teachers need to develop, and skills related to focusing on the Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics. Each chapter explicitly addresses implications for teacher education or professional development.
