Book Synopsis Exploring Teacher Hiring: by : Patricia E. Grupka
Download or read book Exploring Teacher Hiring: written by Patricia E. Grupka and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we are to accept the premise that good teachers do in fact make a difference to students in the classroom, then we must make every effort to place the best teachers in those positions. The challenge for school hiring agents is how to determine who are the best teachers, and how they will select the best from the large pool of teaching applicants available. This study was designed to determine to what extent the questions asked during the new teacher interview align with the qualities of effective teaching utilizing two frameworks: the Revised New York State Annual Professional Performance Review standards (2010) and Charlotte Danielson's Framework for Effective Teaching (2009). This study will also examine the differences, and correlations, between the numbers of questions that were asked by participant and school demographic groups which aligned to qualities of effective teaching. A second part of this research was to determine if the assessment tool used to rank new teacher candidates aligned with the qualities of effective teaching using the same frameworks. This mixed methods study involved requesting source documents from 20 participants of interview questions provided by school hiring agents, along with the measuring tool used to assess the answers. The respondents were primarily principals. 17 participants provided interview questions, only two provided rating tools. One was a 1-4 Likert scale placed next to each question and the other was a rating sheet that did not rate the answers to questions, but instead other unrelated characteristics. In addition to the source document review, a brief interview was held with each participant that was used to inform the study. The questions asked during the interview were coded, sorted, and tabulated by the number of times a question was asked in each category of effective teaching. The data was then sorted by participant and school demographics to reveal patterns or differences in the qualities addressed within the questions. A compendium of questions was created, containing lists of questions that align with each quality of effective teaching. All participants who submitted questions asked questions related to New York State Standards 2: Knowledge of content and instructional planning and 7: Professional growth, and Danielson's Domains 1: Planning and preparation and 4: Professional responsibilities. Participants addressed other qualities off effectiveness to varying degrees. There existed many differences and correlations to the extent in which attributes of effective teaching were addressed. While all participants addressed the areas of instruction, lesson planning and preparation, and professional responsibilities, the extent to which desired qualities of effective teaching are addressed during new teacher interviews is contextual. In the sample studied, factors such as school type, student population, and principal background effect the extent to which different aspects of effective teaching were addressed. While the participant's reported themselves as responsible for the questions asked during the interview, they were often not the authors of the questions. Every participant spoke of a committee process, which included colleagues and school community members. The interview is one of the most frequently used tools in teacher hiring, yet the level of its effectiveness remains in question. This study hopes to contribute to the field of school human resources and teacher hiring by leading school hiring agents to be more thoughtful about the interview questions they asked during the new teacher hiring process, and to how they measure the answers. It will also raise awareness for the need to create policies and procedures that enhance the hiring process.

Book Synopsis Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention by : Carol R. Rinke
Download or read book Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention written by Carol R. Rinke and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding teachers’ careers across the professional lifespan. Grounded in the notion that teachers’ voices are essential for understanding teachers’ lives, this edited volume contains chapters that privilege the voices of teachers above all. Book sections look closely at the particular issues that arise when recruiting an effective, committed, and diverse workforce, as well as the challenges that arise once teachers are immersed in the classroom setting. Promising directions are also included for particularly high-need areas such as early childhood teachers, Black male teachers, STEM teachers, and urban teachers. The book concludes with a call for self-care in teachers’ lives. Chapter contributions come from a variety of contexts across the United States and around the world. However, regardless of context or methodology, these chapters point to the importance of valuing and respecting teachers’ lives and work. Moreover, they demonstrate that teacher recruitment and retention is a complex and multifaceted issue that cannot be addressed through simplistic policy changes. Rather, attending to and appreciating the web of influences on teachers lives and careers is the only way to support their work and the impact they have on our next generation of students.

Download or read book The Effectiveness of Educational Policy for Bias-Free Teacher Hiring written by Zuhra E. Abawi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a critical examination of educational policy in Ontario, Canada, and critiques the success of such policies in ensuring diversity and equity of access in teacher hiring. Providing comprehensive coverage of historical marginalization in the Canadian education system, the book explains the rationale and objectives of policies enacted with the aim of ensuring "bias-free", or "colourblind" hiring. Drawing on qualitative data to illustrate how educators’ lived experiences often sit at odds with the inclusivity that such policies claim to achieve, the book presents the "Equity Hiring Toolkit" as a practical framework enabling educational administrators to recognize how unconscious biases and relative positions of power can implicate hiring decisions. This text will benefit researchers, doctoral students, and academics in the fields of teacher education, educational policy, and multicultural education more broadly. Those interested in the school leadership and management, as well as race and ethnic studies will also enjoy this volume.
