Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite many advances, 20 American workers die each day as a result of occupational injuries. And occupational safety and health (OSH) is becoming even more complex as workers move away from the long-term, fixed-site, employer relationship. This book looks at worker safety in the changing workplace and the challenge of ensuring a supply of top-notch OSH professionals. Recommendations are addressed to federal and state agencies, OSH organizations, educational institutions, employers, unions, and other stakeholders. The committee reviews trends in workforce demographics, the nature of work in the information age, globalization of work, and the revolution in health care deliveryâ€"exploring the implications for OSH education and training in the decade ahead. The core professions of OSH (occupational safety, industrial hygiene, and occupational medicine and nursing) and key related roles (employee assistance professional, ergonomist, and occupational health psychologist) are profiled-how many people are in the field, where they work, and what they do. The book reviews in detail the education, training, and education grants available to OSH professionals from public and private sources.

Download or read book Certification Requirements and Teacher Quality written by Tim R. Sass and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, states have required individuals complete a program of study in a university-based teacher preparation program in order to be licensed to teach. In recent years, however, various "alternative certification" programs have been developed and the number of teachers obtaining teaching certificates through routes other than completing a traditional teacher preparation program has skyrocketed. In this paper I use a rich longitudinal data base from Florida to compare the characteristics of alternatively certified teachers with their traditionally prepared colleagues. I then analyze the relative effectiveness of teachers who enter the profession through different pathways by estimating "value-added" models of student achievement. In general, alternatively certified teachers have stronger pre-service qualifications than do traditionally prepared teachers, with the least restrictive alternative attracting the most qualified perspective teachers. These differences are less pronounced when controlling for the grade level of teachers, however. On average, alternatively certified science teachers have also had much more coursework in science while in college than traditionally prepared science teachers. The same is not true for math teachers, where the hours of college coursework are approximately equal across pathways. Of the three alternative certification pathways studied, teachers who enter through the path requiring no coursework have substantially greater effects on student achievement than do either traditionally prepared teachers or alternative programs that require some formal coursework in education. These results suggest that the additional education coursework required in traditional teacher preparation programs either does little to boost the human capital of teachers or that whatever gains accrue from traditional teacher education training are offset by greater innate ability of individuals who enter teaching through routes requiring little formal training in education. (Contains 7 tables and 13 footnotes.).

Book excerpt: "Alternative certification" is a general term for non-traditional avenues that lead to teacher licensure. Alternative teacher certification programs (ACPs) are generally geared towards aspiring teachers who already have a baccalaureate degree but who require additional education methods coursework and classroom experience. Such programs vary in requirements and sophistication and can be administered at the federal, state or district levels. ACPs appeal to prospective teachers and to state education officials dealing with teacher shortages because they typically can be completed in a shorter time frame and may be more affordable than traditional education degree programs. A key component of most alternative certification programs is their flexible or compressed scheduling, with many courses offered in the evenings and on weekends, making them more accessible to participants who are currently working. This policy brief gives detailed information on alternative certification.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if a significant difference of self-efficacy exists between teachers with traditional or alternative certification pathways. Traditional and alternative pathways differ in curriculum and design toward teacher licensure. The methodology of this study was a quantitative, causal comparative study with 90 sample participants located in a school district in rural central west Georgia. The school district includes 20 schools, which consist of eleven elementary schools, three middle schools, three high schools, one college and career academy, one college and career center, and one alternative learning center. The study was conducted with the 12 question Likert-scale version of the TSES (Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale). The study’s independent variable was the certification pathway that was split into two groups consisting of traditional or alternative teacher certification. The dependent variable of this study was the teacher’s self-efficacy scores. The results of the MANOVA for self-efficacy indicated that no significant difference exists between teachers with traditional or alternative certification pathways. The results of this study answers to the teacher attrition phenomenon occurring across the United States, specifically Georgia. It can be concluded that if educators resign due to lack of teacher preparation, then self-efficacy can be identified as an influence within professional development in addition to its impact on teacher attrition, teacher shortages, and teacher burnout. It is recommended that further research examine the reasons why traditional and alternative certification pathways differ in preparation methods as well as the validity and effectiveness of both pathways.

Book excerpt: The grading process can yield rich information about student learning. Effective Grading enables faculty to go beyond using grades as isolated artifacts and helps them make classroom grading processes more fair, time-efficient, and conducive to learning. Classroom assessment of student learning can then contribute to departmental and general-education assessment in ways that meet the needs of institutions and accrediting agencies. Tailored to specific needs of faculty members who seek to make grading a valuable part of student learning and motivation, Effective Grading balances assessment theory and hands-on advice. It offers an in-depth examination of the link between teaching and grading and provides concrete guidance on such critical steps as setting and communicating grading standards, developing assignments to grade, managing time spent on grading, and providing feedback for students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine differences between first year and preservice elementary mathematics teachers by certification route. First, the instructional practices of 90 first year elementary mathematics teachers were analyzed. Secondly, nine elementary mathematics teachers were interviewed concerning instructional practices. Finally, weighted effect sizes were compared to determine if differences existed between route to certification and correct responses to the mathematics portion of the Early Childhood-6th grade Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES) for every person who took the assessment during the year 2012. First year elementary mathematics teachers (n=90) were given an online survey about instructional practices with questions covering the topics of Assessment Use, Performance Procedures, Communicative Understanding, Making Connections and Active Learning. The survey came from the Survey of Instructional Practices, Teacher Survey for Grades K-8. The first year teachers were grouped by their route to certification. The groups were Traditional-University Based, Alternative-University Based, Alternative-Non-University Based, and Post Baccalaureate. MANOVA was utilized to determine if there were statistical differences between the responses to the five question groups along with calculating the effect sizes. The data in the study demonstrated that there was little to no difference between the uses of instructional strategies in the elementary mathematics classroom of first year teachers, no matter their route to certification. A cross-case study involving first year elementary mathematics teachers was then conducted. The findings of this study also showed that in a small sample, the teachers who were alternatively certified employed the use of manipulatives more often than the teachers who were traditionally certified and were also more knowledgeable as to why different strategies were important to use in the mathematics classroom when compared to their traditionally certified counterparts. Data from all participants who attempted the mathematics portions of the Texas Examinations of Educator Standards Generalist Early Childhood - 6th grade in 2012 were collected from the Texas Education Agency and were analyzed in two ways using the grouping variable of route to certification. First each question was treated as an independent study and analyzed by calculating the variance of the average proportion and then calculating the weighted effect size. For each question, the weighted effect sizes were compared using analog to the analysis of variance. The weighted effect sizes from the data from the Texas Education Agency on the 2012 mathematics portion of the Texas Examinations of Educator Standards, Generalists Early Childhood - 6th grade pointed out that preservice elementary mathematics teachers from alternative routes were outperformed by their traditionally certified colleagues in the areas of Mathematical Instruction, Number Concepts and Operations, Patterns and Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, Probability and Statistics, and Mathematical Processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling and timely collection, Eric Wearne and a group of diverse contributors make the case for a new approach to teacher preparation and certification, in which institutions are empowered to educate, prepare, certify, hire, and develop teachers who have been prepared by different educational traditions. In the first part, contributors offer a background in history, policy, and economics to argue the need for more creativity in teacher preparation. In the second part, Wearne and contributors showcase how a variety of different, creative educational organizations have prepared teachers more clearly suited to their specific school models— from Montessori teacher preparation, to teaching online, to teaching in classical schools. Overall, this collection prompts those involved in teacher preparation to work to find creative solutions for improving teacher education, certification, and hiring and is relevant for scholars, policymakers, educators, and administrators working in or studying teacher education programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking School-University Partnerships: A New Way Forward provides educational leaders in K-12 schools and colleges of education with insight, advice, and direction into the task of creating partnerships. In current times, colleges of education and local school districts need each other like never before. School districts struggle with pipeline, recruitment, and retention issues. Colleges of education face declining enrollment and a shifting educational landscape that fundamentally changes the way that teachers are trained and what local school districts expect their teachers to be able to do. It is with these overlapping constraints and converging interests that partnerships emerge as a foundational strategy for strengthening the education of our teachers. With nearly 80 contributors from 16 states (and Jamaica) representing 39 educational institutions, the partnerships described in this book are different from the ways in which colleges of education and school districts have traditionally worked with one another. In the past, these loose relationships centered primarily on student teaching and/or field experience placements. In this arrangement, the relationship was directed towards ensuring that the local schools were amenable to hosting students from the college of education so that the student/candidate could complete the requirements to earn a teaching license. In our view, this paradigm needs to be enlarged and shifted.

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.

Download or read book Understanding by Design written by Grant P. Wiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.
