Book Synopsis The Role of the Community College in Teacher Education by : Barbara K. Townsend
Download or read book The Role of the Community College in Teacher Education written by Barbara K. Townsend and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2003-04-22 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A community college role in teacher education is not new. But there is a new--or, more accurately, renewed--interest in this role. A national conversation about how community colleges can help us alleviate the teacher shortage has truly begun, with many believe that an expanded community college role is critical to meet the nation's need for well prepared teachers. This volume illustrates the extent to which community colleges have become major players in teacher education, not only in the traditional way of providing the first two years of an undergraduate degree in teacher education but in such more controversial ways as offering associate and baccalaureate degrees in teacher education and providing alternative certification programs. This is the 121st issue of the Jossey-Bass higher education series New Directions for Community Colleges.
Book Synopsis Community College Teacher Preparation for Diverse Geographies by : Mark M. D'Amico
Download or read book Community College Teacher Preparation for Diverse Geographies written by Mark M. D'Amico and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges serve as the open door to higher education for marginalized, place bound, and/or financially challenged students and communities. One of the key ways marginalization occurs in diverse geographies is through access limitations: access to affordable postsecondary education, access to curricula that lead to viable professions, access to diverse educational role models, and access to employment opportunities that can sustain communities. This underscores the importance of understanding “place” when addressing access and equity in higher education and the role of community colleges. The discussion of access and equity through the community college has implications for teacher education. Considering the documented importance of having a diverse teacher workforce in K-12 schools and the current mismatch between the diversity of students and the teachers in their schools, community colleges have a significant role to play. This book explores many topics related to the community college role in K-12 teacher education, including the community college mission, the policy landscape, partnerships, the transfer function, the community college baccalaureate, and others. Throughout the volume, the authors explore implications of access, equity, and geography and conclude with recommendations to guide future research and practice.

Book Synopsis The Cultural Context of Teacher Education Partnerships and the Role of Community Colleges by : Margaret W. Turner
Download or read book The Cultural Context of Teacher Education Partnerships and the Role of Community Colleges written by Margaret W. Turner and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the cultural context of teacher education partnerships and the role of community colleges in these partnerships. Two research questions guided the investigation: (1) What is the cultural context of teacher education partnerships between two and four-year institutions? and (2) What is the role of community colleges engaged in these partnerships? The research design was qualitative. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data from twenty faculty respondents across two community colleges and two four-year institutions engaged in teacher education partnerships. Results of the study indicate that the cultural context of the teacher education partnerships in this study consist of shared goals and vision, the opportunity to share knowledge and resources. A lack of mutual trust and respect for community college faculty and curriculum offerings among four-year faculty surfaced as a barrier to the teacher education partnership. Findings also indicate that the role of the community college was to develop strategies to reduce attrition, provide proper advising, and ensure that all faculty and staff were involved in the partnership activities. In addition, the findings from this study suggest three major practical implications. First, the establishment of measurable goals will allow the institutions to evaluate the progress of the partnership. Second, it is important that top-level executives at the institutions support the partnerships and that the goals and objectives of the initiatives are included in the institutions' strategic plans. Lastly, by sharing information and resources, members of the partnership may be able to enhance faculty development and help the partners to provide experiences that help prepare students for transfer into the four-year teacher education programs. Policies should be implemented to provide funding to the community colleges to hire additional faculty for teacher education courses. Another implication of the study is the need for further research on teacher education partnerships. New studies may need to focus on the perceptions of professionals from other segments of higher education and PK--12 institutions involved in addressing the preparation of quality teachers. Finally, the findings from the study may be useful to policymakers and educators in all segments of education. -- Abstract.
Book Synopsis Community Colleges and Teacher Preparation by : Tricia Coulter
Download or read book Community Colleges and Teacher Preparation written by Tricia Coulter and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of community colleges in preparing the next generation of teachers in U.S. classrooms continues to evolve. In many states, community colleges are no longer playing an informal or tangential role in teacher preparation and instead are becoming critical leaders in efforts to develop a pool of highly effective teachers for states and regions that have demand which far exceeds supply. In August of 2006, the Education Commission of the States and the National Center for Teacher Transformation convened representatives from a variety of national organizations representing state higher education executive officers, community colleges, teacher preparation programs, teacher accreditation and K-12 education to discuss the role of community colleges in teacher education. The meeting focused on how community colleges can meet the needs of an increasingly diverse teaching industry and catalyze reform in teacher education. This paper describes a variety of forces in education policy and reform that are providing an important context to the role of community colleges in teacher education. In addition, the paper articulates how community colleges can capitalize on their unique attributes as responsive institutions that serve a diverse population of students and industry needs to meet critical workforce demand in local and regional communities and positively impact the field of teacher education. The following are appended: (1) Participants in Community Colleges and Teacher Preparation: Roles, Issues and Opportunities Meeting (August 8-9, 2006, Washington, DC); (2) Featured Community College Teacher Preparation Programs; and (3) Resources on Community Colleges and Teacher Preparation. (Contains 37 endnotes.) [This paper was a joint project of Education Commission of the States (ECS) and the National Center for Teacher Transformation.].

This book was released on 2009 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As community colleges emerge as a solution to the teacher quality and shortage issue, the National Association of Community College Teacher Education Programs (NACCTEP) created this pamphlet in an attempt to dispel any misperceptions individuals may have about the community college role in teacher education. "10 Myths About Community College Teacher Education Programs" can be used as an informational tool for future educators, current PreK-12 educators, NACCTEP members, educational organizations, and community and business representatives. The 10 myths are: (1) Community colleges do not play a role in the preparation of teachers; (2) Community college teacher education programs have been in existence for only a few years; (3) Future teachers cannot complete their post-baccalaureate education at a community college; (4) Teacher education programs at the community college do not transfer to four-year institutions; (5) Teacher preparation in the community college is less rigorous than in four-year colleges, and therefore community colleges prepare less qualified teachers; (6) Community colleges do not have adequate technology to prepare future teachers; (7) Community colleges are not allowed to grant teaching certificates or degrees in education; (8) Only a very small percentage of teacher education students attend community colleges; (9) Community college faculty do not have adequate academic preparation or backgrounds to teach future teachers; and (10) Community colleges do not offer in-service or professional development courses or programs for current teachers.

Book Synopsis Beyond Equity at Community Colleges by : Sobia Azhar Khan
Download or read book Beyond Equity at Community Colleges written by Sobia Azhar Khan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume proposes that the work of community colleges has expanded beyond equity into providing a true barrier-free learning environment for students, one that is attuned to justice. The essays included here serve as evidence and examples of the productive ways in which educators may bring theory and practice to bear on each other, which in turn may allow community college faculty, staff, and administrators to reexamine the role of a community college as a space for justice. Topics explored with this volume include liberatory educational practices in and out of the classroom, transforming classrooms into the site of collaboration and contestation, and unique visions of how to promote opportunity for marginalized students. Ultimately, the goal of this edited volume is to explore and encourage community college educators to understand the integral role they play in bringing transformative justice to their students and their communities.
Book Synopsis Teacher Education Across Minority-Serving Institutions by : Emery Petchauer
Download or read book Teacher Education Across Minority-Serving Institutions written by Emery Petchauer and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of its kind, Teacher Education across Minority-Serving Institutions brings together innovative work from the family of institutions known as minority-serving institutions: Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions. The book moves beyond a singular focus on teacher racial diversity that has characterized scholarship and policy work in this area. Instead, it pushes for scholars to consider that racial diversity in teacher education is not simply an end in itself but is, a means to accomplish other goals, such as developing justice-oriented and asset-based pedagogies.

Book Synopsis Civic Engagement Pedagogy in the Community College: Theory and Practice by : Emily Schnee
Download or read book Civic Engagement Pedagogy in the Community College: Theory and Practice written by Emily Schnee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help post-secondary educators to discover the joys and challenges of implementing theoretically grounded civic engagement projects on their campuses. The essays on civic engagement and public scholarship are written by an interdisciplinary group of community college faculty who have designed and implemented civic engagement projects in their classrooms. The projects they describe stand at the intersection of research, theory and pedagogy. They challenge dominant constructions of civic engagement as students bring their community, culture and history into the classroom. The authors consider the particular complexities and constraints of doing civically engaged teaching and scholarship at the community college level and situate their projects within current theoretical debates about civic engagement, public scholarship, and public higher education.
