Download or read book Staffing At-risk School Districts in Texas written by Sheila Nataraj Kirby and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1999 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines demand and supply of minority teachers in Texas. Researchers investigated what defined at-risk districts; how those districts differed from those not at risk; and what was known about the likely future demand and supply of minority teachers. Information came from a longitudinal data file on public school teachers in Texas from 1979-1996 obtained from the Texas Education Agency. Results indicate that three-quarters of all Texas full-time teachers are non-Hispanic White, whereas the student body is over half minority. Texas has done well in attracting minorities to teaching using many sources. Recently, minorities have accounted for 26 percent of new teacher cohorts. Alternative teacher certification programs are a rich source of minority teachers. Future supply looks less promising, with decreasing numbers of teachers in the pipeline and the mandated teacher entry and certification tests proving a bigger hurdle for minority than white candidates. Results suggest that minority teachers display a greater sensitivity to pay and working conditions. This report's five chapters are: (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Students and Teachers in At-Risk Settings"; (3) "Components of Teacher Supply"; (4) "Components of Teacher Demand"; and (5) "Conclusions and Policy Implications." The two appendixes present resources and working conditions in low-, medium-, and high-risk districts and results of multivariate models based on teacher characteristics, 1980-81 to 1995-96. (Contains approximately 90 references.) (SM)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research reported here was supported by Grant No. R3O6F6O175 from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Educational Research and Improvement's Field Initiated Studies Grant Program. Teacher supply and demand issues are of critical importance as our society enters the 21st century. Over the next decade, we will need about two million new teachers, largely because of a dramatic increase in enrollments and high attrition rates as an aging teacher workforce becomes eligible for retirement. It is important to understand where these teachers will come from and where they will teach as our society faces increasing racial, ethnic, and linguistic diversity. Amidst this diversity is a continuing concern that some racial/ethnic groups are disproportionately placed at risk. The larger project focuses on teachers of at-risk children, with special emphasis on the supply and demand patterns of minority teachers, who tend to be the ones primarily teaching in high-risk districts. This report analyzes longitudinal data on teachers from Texas between 1979 and 1996 to address this issue. Our results show that although Texas has been successful in attracting minority teachers, it has a long way to go in attaining the goal of the Texas State Board of Education: to have a teacher workforce that reflects the racial/ethnic composition of the state. These results should be of interest to researchers and policymakers dealing with issues of teacher supply and demand, particularly with respect to minority teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-Published by Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group and the Association of Teacher Educators. The Handbook of Research on Teacher Education was initiated to ferment change in education based on solid evidence. The publication of the First Edition was a signal event in 1990. While the preparation of educators was then – and continues to be – the topic of substantial discussion, there did not exist a codification of the best that was known at the time about teacher education. Reflecting the needs of educators today, the Third Edition takes a new approach to achieving the same purpose. Beyond simply conceptualizing the broad landscape of teacher education and providing comprehensive reviews of the latest research for major domains of practice, this edition: stimulates a broad conversation about foundational issues brings multiple perspectives to bear provides new specificity to topics that have been undifferentiated in the past includes diverse voices in the conversation. The Editors, with an Advisory Board, identified nine foundational issues and translated them into a set of focal questions: What’s the Point?: The Purposes of Teacher Education What Should Teachers Know? Teacher Capacities: Knowledge, Beliefs, Skills, and Commitments Where Should Teachers Be Taught? Settings and Roles in Teacher Education Who Teaches? Who Should Teach? Teacher Recruitment, Selection, and Retention Does Difference Make a Difference? Diversity and Teacher Education How Do People Learn to Teach? Who’s in Charge? Authority in Teacher Education How Do We Know What We Know? Research and Teacher Education What Good is Teacher Education? The Place of Teacher Education in Teachers’ Education. The Association of Teacher Educators (ATE) is an individual membership organization devoted solely to the improvement of teacher education both for school-based and post secondary teacher educators.

Download or read book Reopening K-12 Schools During the COVID-19 Pandemic written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-11-08 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to the nation's K-12 education system. The rush to slow the spread of the virus led to closures of schools across the country, with little time to ensure continuity of instruction or to create a framework for deciding when and how to reopen schools. States, districts, and schools are now grappling with the complex and high-stakes questions of whether to reopen school buildings and how to operate them safely if they do reopen. These decisions need to be informed by the most up-to-date evidence about the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19; about the impacts of school closures on students and families; and about the complexities of operating school buildings as the pandemic persists. Reopening K-12 Schools During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prioritizing Health, Equity, and Communities provides guidance on the reopening and operation of elementary and secondary schools for the 2020-2021 school year. The recommendations of this report are designed to help districts and schools successfully navigate the complex decisions around reopening school buildings, keeping them open, and operating them safely.
