Book excerpt: Principals of middle-grade schools in port of entry communities along the Texas-Mexico border were surveyed to learn about the education and preparational experiences these principals believed novice teachers should have before coming to teach in their schools. Demographic data about themselves, teachers, students and middle-grade schools, along with suggestions for improving Texas teacher education programs were also obtained. Mexican Americans were the dominant ethnic group and culture in these schools for principals, teachers and students. Principals were mostly male, well educated, and certified for the position they held. Student populations ranged from 437--1,603 in rural, urban and suburban settings. Eighty-two percent of the student population participated in the Federal Free Lunch Program. Faculty populations in these schools ranged from 35--145. Student/Teacher ratios range from 8.8/1--18/1. Half the rural schools in this study have difficulty attracting all the properly certified teachers needed for their classrooms. Principals slightly preferred secondary certified over elementary certified teachers for middle-grade teaching positions. Combined responses from principals revealed that knowledge centered around middle school themes was at least as important for pre-service teachers as their knowledge of pedagogy. The majority of responding principals ranked the following coursework and experiences as "essential" or "very important" for pre-service teachers: student teaching in the middle-grades, appropriate teaching methods for pre- and young adolescents, pre-student teaching field experiences in the middle-grades, developmental characteristics and needs of pre- and young adolescents, and curriculum and organization in middle-grades. Other coursework and experiences ranked by the majority of principals as "important" are: dealing with the culture of poverty, dealing with the Latino culture, and ESL certification. The compiled responses from data revealed responding principals believe Texas teacher education programs are adequately preparing pre-service teachers. However, more emphasis should be placed on: middle-grade teaching skills and concepts, classroom management and discipline, curriculum and instruction, and communication with parents, staff, and community. Pre-service teachers need more information about working with students and parents living in poverty. Responding principals would also like pre-service teachers to have greater exposure to middle-grade classrooms through additional observation experiences and student teaching.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the postsecondary majors and teaching certifications of middle grades teachers in public schools in selected subject areas by using data from the 2011-12 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). SASS is a sample survey of elementary and secondary schools in the United States that collects data on American public and private elementary and secondary schools and their related components (teachers, principals, libraries, and districts, where applicable). Prior research in the field of education has examined whether teachers with better education, training, and content expertise, demonstrated through years of experience, subject matter tests, or postsecondary education, show an association with students featuring greater gains in achievement (e.g., Boyd et al. 2007; Clotfelter, Ladd, and Vigdor 2010; Darling-Hammond 2000, 2010). Teacher qualifications are important in association with middle grades student outcomes. Middle school is a crucial time in children's development, and problems with disengagement, behavior, and achievement in middle school are positively related to negative high school academic experiences (Balfanz, Herzog, and Mac Iver 2007; Bowers 2010). This report provides information on the extent to which middle grades teachers have relevant certification and content knowledge in the subject areas in which they teach. Given the interest in teachers' qualifications as they influence student outcomes and experiences, this report provides important context for understanding the extent to which middle grades teachers hold in-field qualifications in their class assignments. This report classifies teachers by their main assignment, defined as the subject in which they teach the most classes. Because of differences in the classroom and teaching structures of departmentalized and nondepartmentalized teachers, the report separates middle grades teachers into departmentalized and nondepartmentalized categories. Departmentalized teachers are those who instruct several classes of different students most or all of the day in one or more subjects. Nondepartmentalized teachers are those who instruct the same group of students in different subjects or provide instructional services to small groups of students, for example, students who are "pulled out" of class for additional services. For departmentalized teachers, the report provides results at the class and student level and examines 12 broad fields: English, mathematics, science, social science, French, German, Spanish, art/arts and crafts, music, dance/drama or theater, health education, and general elementary education. There are six subfields for which science and social science are analyzed with more granularity; these include biology/life sciences, physical science, earth science, geography, government/civics, and history. In nondepartmentalized settings, seven broad fields are examined: General elementary education, English, mathematics, science, social science, music, and health education. The report examines the percentages of middle grades teachers (in departmentalized and nondepartmentalized classrooms) who earned a degree in an in-field major, held an in-field certification, had both in-field qualifications, or had neither in-field qualification. Among departmentalized teachers, the report looks at the percentages of grade 6-8 classes and students taught by teachers with one, both, or neither in-field qualifications. In addition to describing qualifications, the report presents findings specific to how nondepartmentalized middle grades teachers distribute their paid instructional hours across the most common core subjects (English, mathematics, science, and social science). The following are appended: (1) Standard Error Tables; (2) Supplementary Table: Major/Minor in Main Assignment; (3) Technical Notes and Methodology; (4) Description of Variables Used in This Report; (5) Glossary of Terms.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now is a time of great interest in mathematics education. Student performance, curriculum, and teacher education are the subjects of much scrutiny and debate. Studies on the mathematical knowledge of prospective and practicing U. S. teachers suggest ways to improve their mathematical educations. It is often assumed that because the topics covered in K-12 mathematics are so basic, they should be easy to teach. However, research in mathematics education has shown that to teach well,substantial mathematical understanding is necessary--even to teach whole-number arithmetic. Prospective teachers need a solid understanding of mathematics so that they can teach it as a coherent, reasoned activity and communicate its elegance and power. This volume gathers and reports current thinkingon curriculum and policy issues affecting the mathematical education of teachers. It considers two general themes: (1) the intellectual substance in school mathematics; and (2) the special nature of the mathematical knowledge needed for teaching. The underlying study was funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The mathematical knowledge needed for teaching is quite different from that required by students pursuing other mathematics-related professions. Material here is gearedtoward stimulating efforts on individual campuses to improve programs for prospective teachers. This report contains general recommendations for all grades and extensive discussions of the specific mathematical knowledge required for teaching elementary, middle, and high-school grades, respectively.It is also designed to marshal efforts in the mathematical sciences community to back important national initiatives to improve mathematics education and to expand professional development opportunities. The book will be an important resource for mathematics faculty and other parties involved in the mathematical education of teachers. Information for our distributors: This series is published in cooperation with the Mathematical Association of America.

This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children spend more time in school than in any social institution outside the home. And schools probably exert more influence on children’s development and life chances than any environment beyond the home and neighbourhood. The purpose of this book is to document some important ways schools influence children’s development and to describe various models and methods for studying schooling effects. Key features include: Comprehensive Coverage – this is the first book to provide a comprehensive review of what is known about schools as a context for human development. Topical coverage ranges from theoretical foundations to investigative methodologies and from classroom-level influences such as teacher-student relations to broader influences such as school organization and educational policies. Cross-Disciplinary – this volume brings together the divergent perspectives, methods and findings of scholars from a variety of disciplines, among them educational psychology, developmental psychology, school psychology, social psychology, psychiatry, sociology, and educational policy. Chapter Structure – to ensure continuity, chapter authors describe 1) how schooling influences are conceptualized 2) identify their theoretical and methodological approaches 3) discuss the strengths and weaknesses of existing research and 4) highlight implications for future research, practice, and policy. Methodologies – chapters included in the text feature various methodologies including longitudinal studies, hierarchical linear models, experimental and quasi-experimental designs, and mixed methods.
