This book was released on 2014 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature describing the academic performance, school experiences, and social relations of children in foster care is fraught with negative findings regarding educational delays, high attrition in high school, and inadequate social skills, as well as inability to maintain employment, incarceration, and homelessness in young adulthood. Such findings could influence classroom teachers to stereotype them intellectually, behaviorally, and psychosocially, and to expend little time and effort to help foster children. To investigate elementary classroom teachers' perceptions of and lived experiences with foster children the researcher used a grounded theory strategy and methods. Twenty-five teachers from three urban school districts in a Midwestern state were interviewed one-on-one according to a semi-structured interview schedule. Each interview was audio taped and transcribed verbatim. The constant comparative method was used to analyze emergent data and construct themes. The final stage of analysis yielded the following themes: 1. Participants' empathy for children in foster care, 2. Participants' impressions of foster parents, 3. Participants' interactions within the system, 4. Foster care children's academic performance, 5. Behavioral issues with children in foster care, 6. Foster care children's interactions with peers, and 7. Participants' advice to colleagues. Overall, results indicate that elementary school teachers did not stereotype children in foster care. Instead, they demonstrated a ii balanced perspective on their abilities and challenges, and understood how their interactions and interventions as educators could support foster care children in their classrooms and enhance their development, academically and psychosocially.

This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected as a "Favorite Book for Educators in 2018" by Greater Good. From the author of Mindfulness for Teachers, a guide to supporting trauma-exposed students. Fully half the students in U.S. schools have experienced trauma, violence, or chronic stress. In the face of this epidemic, it falls increasingly to teachers to provide the adult support these students need to function in school. But most educators have received little training to prepare them for this role. In her new book, Tish Jennings—an internationally recognized leader in the field of social and emotional learning—shares research and experiential knowledge about the practices that support students' healing, build their resilience, and foster compassion in the classroom. In Part I, Jennings describes the effects of trauma on body and mind, and how to recognize them in students' behavior. In Part II, she introduces the trauma-sensitive practices she has implemented in her work with schools. And in Part III, she connects the dots between mindfulness, compassion, and resilience. Each chapter contains easy-to-use, practical activities to hone the skills needed to create a compassionate learning environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helping Foster Children In School explores the challenges that foster children face in schools and offers positive and practical guidance tailored to help the parents, teachers and social workers supporting them. Children in care often perform poorly at school both in terms of their behavior and their academic performance, with many failing to complete their education. They will have often experienced trauma or neglect which can result in a number of developmental delays. By looking at why children in foster care do not perform as well as their counterparts, John DeGarmo, who has fostered more than 40 children, provides easy-to-use strategies to target the problems commonly faced. He emphasizes the importance of an open dialogue between teacher, parent and social worker, to ensure that everyone is working jointly to achieve the best outcome for the child. An invaluable resource for foster parents, social workers and educators alike, this book encourages a unified response to ensure foster children are given the best chance to succeed at school.

Download or read book Teachers’ Perceptions, Experience and Learning written by Woon Chia Liu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-18 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers’ Perceptions, Experience and Learning offers insightful views on the understanding of the role of teachers and the impact of their thinking and practice. The articles presented in this book illustrate the influence of teachers on student learning, school culture and their own professional identity and growth as well as highlighting challenges and constraints in preand in-service teacher education programmes that can impact teachers’ own learning. The first article examined teacher experiences in the use of “design thinking” by Retna. Next, Hong’s and Youngs’ article looks into contradictory effects of the new national curriculum in South Korea. Lu, Wang, Ma, Clarke and Collins explored Chinese teachers’ commitment to being a cooperating teacher for rural practicum placements. Kainzbauer and Hunt investigate foreign university teachers’ experiences and perceptions in teaching graduate schools in Thailand. On inclusive education in Singapore, Yeo, Chong, Neihart and Huan examined teachers’ first-hand experiences with inclusion; while Poon, Ng, Wong and Kaur study teachers’ perceptions of factors associated with inclusive education. The book ends with two articles on teacher preparation by Hardman, Stoff, Aung and Elliott who examined the pedagogical practices of mathematics teaching in primary schools in Myanmar, and Zein who focuses on teacher learning by examining the adequacy of preservice education in Indonesia for preparing primary school English teachers. The contributing authors’ rich perspectives in different educational, geographical and socio-cultural contexts would serve as a valuable resource for policy makers, educational leaders, individual researchers and practitioners who are involved in teacher education research and policy. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Education.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984, the field of research on teaching had expanded dramatically in the 15 years covered by this bibliography, 1965 to 1980. The expansion had included studies conducted for many purposes. This bibliography contains relevant citations to the research which has been conducted for the purposes of increasing our understanding of the science, art and craft of teaching. The existence of research publications has been documented with relevant reference information and brief annotations; there has been no attempt to evaluate the quality of the studies. A brief perusal of the bibliography provides an indication of the range of topics addressed by these studies and also of the variety of studies within a single topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success in school is a key protective factor for youth in foster care. Communication and collaboration between schools, child welfare, and other service providers are crucial for promoting school success among foster youth. However, concerns that teachers may view youth in foster care negatively simply because of their foster care status create a barrier to communication and collaboration. Despite these concerns, to date virtually no quantitative research exists documenting the presence of bias toward foster youth in academic settings. This study used an experimental design to test whether informing elementary school teachers of hypothetical students foster care status resulted in biased expectations, attributions, and decision-making. This study also examined the effect of student race on teachers judgments and decisions, as well as the extent to which teacher well-being mitigated or enhanced effects of student foster care status and student race. Teachers (n = 179) reported lower academic expectations for students in foster care compared to their peers and were biased toward attributing foster youths academic and behavior problems to less internal, less controllable causes. Teachers were also more likely to attribute behavior problems to more stable causes and to recommend special education evaluations for students in foster care. Effects of student race were limited to a bias toward attributing academic and behavior problems to less internal causes, attributing academic problems to less controllable, less stable causes, and assignment of less harsh discipline responses for Black students compared to White students. There was some evidence that teacher well-being (most notably teacher sleep problems) moderated effects of student foster care status on teachers judgments and decisions such that poorer teacher well-being was associated with greater bias toward foster youth. Implications for policy and practice to support teachers in their interactions with students who are in foster care are discussed.

Book excerpt: This study provides a broad overview of perceptions elementary school teachers hold regarding creativity, the strategies those teachers use to foster creative thinking and behaviour in their students, and the environmental challenges and opportunities they navigate when striving to develop 21st century skills in students. Earlier research examining teachers’ perceptions and creativity-fostering behaviours have typically asked teachers to describe their classroom practices, or self-report their perceptions regarding creative children or children’s creative actions. Using a mixed-methods approach, in this study 22 Grade 5-7 teachers working in Ontario completed an online questionnaire which measured their creativity-fostering behaviours. Following the survey, 12 teachers were interviewed and allowed the researcher to observe their classroom and collect field data. Analysis of data reveals major themes that illuminate the dynamic and interconnected nature of the classroom and school environment, and demonstrate the multifarious ways in which teacher perceptions, creativityfostering strategies, and uncontrollable environmental factors, such as administrators, colleagues, and EQAO testing influence teachers’ attempts to sustain a creative classroom environment.

This book was released on 2021-03-28 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together trends and their prospects to understand the complexity of metacognitive phenomena, with emphasis on the interactions of metacognition with affect. It discusses the three perspectives in understanding these interactions: the possible mechanisms underlying them, the manifestation of interactions of metacognition with affect in self- and co-regulation in social and educational contexts, and changes during development in young children and older adults. This volume is a tribute to Professor Emerita Anastasia Efklides, who was among the pioneers to investigate and argue the importance of the interactions between metacognition and affect. It serves as a dedication to her contribution in the widening of the scope of research in metacognition and self-regulated learning.

Download or read book Does the Label "foster Child" Have an Affect on how They are Treated by Their Teachers? written by Corey Marcelle Smith and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If educators, administrators, and the school system continue to not provide the services needed to foster youth and proceed to treat them differently than their classmates, children within the foster care system will continue to struggle with their education, not only academically but also with peer relations. Foster youth are aware of the negative stigma that can accompany the label "foster child" and they may begin to take on the attributes that are expected of them following this label. Foster youth tend to require more services to aid them with their educational goals. Unfortunately, they are sometimes receiving fewer services than their classmates. Teachers and administrators also lack the proper knowledge about how being placed with in the foster care system may have effects on a child, which in turn may cause them to act out at school. If teachers were made aware and worked with the foster youth at their level, there would be more opportunities for foster youth to attain their educational goals. This researcher conducted eight interviews, which were all audio taped. This researcher played each interview back and transcribed all of the interviews. After transcribing, this researcher began the process of coding. After organizing common concepts, this v researcher began to memo and sort key ideas together to develop main ideas based on similar ideas that the participants expressed in each of their own interviews. Participants of this study included eight teachers from the Solano County area with varying levels of experience. Participants taught in classrooms ranging from elementary school to high school. Findings of the study were that educators had an overall negative view of foster youth. This could be due to the fact that educators are unaware of a child's status of being in the foster care system until a behavioral problem has occurred. Thus, foster child and behavior problems become synonymous. Teachers come to expect all foster youth to behave poorly because they are only aware of foster students who cause disruptions.
