This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study addresses preservice teachers' self-efficacy in understanding culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) and their readiness to teach in CLD classrooms. This study analyzed preservice teachers' beliefs in CRP and the challenges or barriers that implementation may present. Also, the research examined preservice teachers' self-efficacy about entering the teaching field. The nation's growing diversity requires that educators address their biases and have confidence in delivering instruction to meet the needs of today's culturally and linguistically diverse student population. The achievement gap between Black and Brown students of color and White students has been well documented, and it is essential to close the gap that is only growing post-pandemic. With the intense racial climate of late, the implications for addressing culturally responsive pedagogy have never been more important as its essence is being attacked and "banned" across the nation. This study looks to further the conversation on the readiness of educators to teach in our nation's and specifically the state of Florida's CLD schools with instructional equity at the core and determine what more teacher education programs may need to do to address this need.

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 Language, Culture, and Community in Teacher Education by : Maria Estela Brisk
Download or read book Language, Culture, and Community in Teacher Education written by Maria Estela Brisk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by Routledge for the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education This volume addresses the pressing reality in teacher education that all teachers need to be prepared to work effectively with linguistically and culturally diverse student populations. Every classroom in the country is already, or will soon be, deeply affected by the changing demographics of America’s students. Marilyn Cochran-Smith’s Foreword and Donaldo Macedo’s Introductory Essay set the context with respect to teacher education and student demographics, followed by a series of chapters presented in three sections: knowledge, practice, and policy. The literature on language education has typically been discussed in relation to preparing ESL or bilingual teachers. Typically, needs of culturally and linguistically diverse students, including immigrants, refugees, language minority populations, African Americans, and deaf students, have been addressed separately. This volume emphasizes that these children have both common educational needs and needs that are culturally and linguistically specific. It is directed to the preparation of ALL teachers who work with culturally and linguistically diverse students. It not only focuses on how teachers need to change but how faculty and curriculum need to be transformed, and how to better train teacher education candidates to understand and work efficaciously with the communities in which culturally and linguistically diverse students tend to be predominant. The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) is a national, voluntary association of higher education institutions and related organizations. Our mission is to promote the learning of all PK-12 students through high-quality, evidence-based preparation and continuing education for all school personnel.

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.
Book Synopsis Re-Designing Teacher Education for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students by : Ana Christina da Silva Iddings
Download or read book Re-Designing Teacher Education for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students written by Ana Christina da Silva Iddings and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a critical-ecological lens, this book examines how to prepare preservice teachers to be resourceful and responsive practitioners in addressing the intellectual needs of children often labeled as "culturally and linguistically diverse." It explores a comprehensive re-design of a teacher education program grounded in research on the complex factors that affect the teaching and learning of linguistically and culturally diverse children. Re-Designing Teacher Education for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students challenges hegemonic cultural and linguistic norms, quantitative and static views of "resources," the impact of U.S. education policy, and the limited attention to the agency, identities, and strategic actions of diverse students and their families.
Book Synopsis When We Hear Them by : Owen Silverman Andrews
Download or read book When We Hear Them written by Owen Silverman Andrews and published by IAP. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book puts forward practical tools and applicable theories for enhancing the listening skills and pedagogical approaches of teachers and educators in the context of language-minoritized and multilingual learners. What does it mean for us to really hear them? How can we more fully facilitate inviting, celebratory, and sustaining learning spaces? What listening skills should the faculty who prepare pre-service teachers for linguistically diverse classrooms impart? By asking these questions, we seek to upend deficit models of language learning and usage in order to attune practitioner-scholars to the powerful voices of language-diverse students in our classrooms, schools, and communities. This book is organized into three parts to help practitioner-scholars explore the space where theory meets practice to amplify the voices of languageminoritized learners. ENDORSEMENT: "Listening is a thread that runs through this fine book. Offering an expansive view of language teaching in the US and across the globe, this engaging volume raises questions, explores dilemmas, and offers concrete ideas for both practitioners and scholars for listening and teaching. In addition to traditional research studies, this volume brings the voices and lives of the teachers and their commitments to equity and justice into the center of the writing, often providing exquisite and touching stories about teaching and learning. This book calls upon our curiosity and our humanity, encouraging critical reflection and action." — Kathy Schultz, University of Colorado

Book Synopsis Do They Know Or Do They Think They Know? by : William Javier Rodriguez-Nieves
Download or read book Do They Know Or Do They Think They Know? written by William Javier Rodriguez-Nieves and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an increasingly diverse population, are pre-service teachers confident in their abilities to teach Culturally and Linguistically Diverse students? The research available states the importance of teacher becoming culturally aware to work with diverse students, but little is known about how confident pre-service teachers perceive themselves to be in this aspect. This research study seeks to understand how teacher candidates in a teacher preparation program in the Midwest U.S. assess their levels of cultural awareness and how this informs their practice with minoritized students. To understand just how teacher-candidates perceive themselves and implement practices for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse students, participants filled out an online survey, participated in a focus group interview, and provided lesson plans to be evaluated using an adapted SIOP protocol. Results showed that participants believed they were culturally aware, but their implementation of culturally aware strategies were not evident in their artifacts. Teacher preparation programs should reflect how student-teachers are perceiving themselves and how close are those perceptions with the reality of their practices. The better they align practices with perception the more pre-service teachers will be prepared to work with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students.

Book Synopsis Developing Critically Conscious Pre-service Teachers by : Beth Ann Alsen
Download or read book Developing Critically Conscious Pre-service Teachers written by Beth Ann Alsen and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major issues confronting education in Arizona and across the United States has been the consistent low performance of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students in comparison to their peers as evidenced by the disparity of the achievement gap at every level in the educational pipeline. A contributing factor has been the lack of teacher preparation focused on teaching CLD students. Preparation focused on a culturally responsive curriculum about dispositions and pedagogical knowledge and skills as well as field experience placement with CLD students have been previously identified areas to consider when training preservice teachers (PSTs). Therefore, this study examined how a Culturally Responsive and Linguistic Teaching (CRLT) Framework would raise preservice teacher's critical consciousness about teaching CLD students. The CRLT Framework focused on two specific areas; (a) a culturally responsive curriculum and (b) a team-based service-learning experience. The CRP curriculum included lessons designed to increase PSTs understanding about how their sociolinguist views influenced their pedagogical knowledge about teaching CLD students. In addition, the team-based service-learning approach, as a community of practice, provided experiences for PSTs to apply theory to practice. A mixed method analysis was employed to collect and analyze the quantitative data (surveys) and qualitative data (interviews and photovoice). Results from this study suggested increases in PSTs' knowledge, self-efficacy, and perceptions of usefulness of CRP in their future practices. The team-based, service-learning component, which was based on a community of practice framework, enhanced the learning experience by allowing students to move from theory to practice and served as an important contributing factor to the overall results. Given the findings of this research study, it appeared that an introductory course focused on a culturally responsive and linguistic teaching influenced PSTs' dispositions, knowledge, and skills. Thus, providing an introductory course, earlier rather than later, has the potential to change the trajectory of preparing PSTs so they were more prepared to teach CLD students as they continued through their program of study. Results showed effective work with CLD students was about so much more than 'just good teaching.'
Book Synopsis Responsive Schooling for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students by : Debbie Zacarian
Download or read book Responsive Schooling for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students written by Debbie Zacarian and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strengths-based approach to making sure what we teach is central to who we teach. Rapidly changing and diverse student populations necessitate culturally responsive schooling. It can be a challenging balancing act for educators to respect diversity and teach to each student’s needs while adhering to restrictive curricula that mandate the use of standard English. Responsive Schooling for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students offers a balanced approach to developing students’ academic language proficiency while simultaneously honoring, acknowledging, and valuing the richness of their home and community languages and cultures. Debbie Zacarian and Ivannia Soto provide a practical framework within which schools and educators can make students’ personal, cultural, and social identities central to the curriculum by drawing on the experiences and interests they bring to the classroom. Filled with examples of responsive teaching and opportunities to reflect on current practice, the book is a rich resource for teachers and school leaders alike.
