Book excerpt: Extracts from the text:"Why are fifteen million children and youth in poverty not achieving when we know that low-income students excel in the classrooms of "star" teachers (who comprise approximately 8 percent of the teaching force)?" "Whose needs or interests are being met in education reform today?" "In my own institution, there has not been a systematic assessment of the effectiveness of the basic teacher education program since the institution was founded over a century ago as a teachers college. Imagine, not one ever!""Teachers who empathize with students and the life challenges they face soon realize that the dysfunctional bureaucracies will not permit them to meet the needs of their students. Half of the starry-eyed beginners are gone in five years or less." "Why does teacher education focus on the managerial, instrumental or delivery system aspects of the profession?""The expert advice dispensed by schools of education regarding what future teachers should do is not connected to any theory of learning, or to any reality of life in school classrooms." "Why has the recruitment process resulted in a cohort of teachers who are unable to connect with their students?""Does a qualified teacher equate to a quality teacher?""The best hope of getting more effective teachers from university teacher preparation programs is to base their budgets on the number of their graduates who serve in challenging schools and their effectiveness with children and youth. At the district level, the salaries of hiring officials should be based on how well these officials identify and retain quality teachers."In this book, 12 distinguished scholars provide a hard-hitting, thoroughly researched, historical and theoretical critique of our schools of education, and offer clear recommendations on what must be done to ensure all children can achieve their potential, and contribute to a vibrant, democratic society.
Book Synopsis Why Not More Black Teachers? by : Diane R. Kutsavage-Prescod
Download or read book Why Not More Black Teachers? written by Diane R. Kutsavage-Prescod and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study explored the career choices of urban Black middle and high school students and the factors that cause them to enter or avoid careers in teaching. Participant opinion regarding the need to increase the number of Black teachers was also examined. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and collected data analyzed via open coding. Interview questions were created using Social Cognitive Career Theory as the conceptual framework. Findings revealed a narrow range of career choices demonstrating a lack of information regarding career options and educational requirements. The majority of participants at the middle school level stated career goals in sports or entertainment and the majority of participants at the high school level identified career goals primarily in the medical and legal fields. Choices in fields such as science, technology, finance, and business were virtually nonexistent. Regarding teaching careers, student discipline, lack of prestige, and paperwork were cited as primary issues causing students to opt for careers other than education. The desire to help others, a love for children, and a love of learning and sharing knowledge were determining factors cited by both participants who had decided to pursue careers in teaching. Variables under each sphere of influence outlined in Social Cognitive Career Theory impacted the career choice process of participants thus supporting the efficacy of the theory for urban Black students. The majority of participants believed there to be a need for more Black teachers citing compatibility, understanding, faculty diversity, varying viewpoints, and role models as the primary factors for this belief. Findings suggest a need for improved career education to begin in middle school grades, more culturally responsive curricula and teaching practices, and increased respect for the profession to address concern.
Book Synopsis Examining the Phenomenon of “Teaching Out-of-field” by : Linda Hobbs
Download or read book Examining the Phenomenon of “Teaching Out-of-field” written by Linda Hobbs and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies and surveys the major themes around ‘out-of-field teaching’, that is, teaching subjects or year levels without a specialization. This has been an issue in many countries for some time, yet until recently there has been little formal research and poor policy responses to related problems. This book arises out of collaborations between members of an international group of researchers and practitioners from Australia, Germany, Ireland, England, South Africa, Indonesia and the United States. Cross-national comparisons of ideas through case studies, descriptions of practice and research data interrogates the experiences, practices, and contexts relating to out-of-field teaching. In particular, the book considers the phenomenon of out-of-field teaching in relation to national policy contexts, local school leadership practices, professional development. The book represents an essential contribution on a highly topical issue that has implications for quality and equitable education around the globe.

Book Synopsis Increasing Faculty Diversity by : Stephen COLE
Download or read book Increasing Faculty Diversity written by Stephen COLE and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, colleges have successfully increased the racial diversity of their student bodies. They have been less successful, however, in diversifying their faculties. This book identifies the ways in which minority students make occupational choices, what their attitudes are toward a career in academia, and why so few become college professors. Working with a large sample of high-achieving minority students from a variety of institutions, the authors conclude that minority students are no less likely than white students to aspire to academic careers. But because minorities are less likely to go to college and less likely to earn high grades within college, few end up going to graduate school. The shortage of minority academics is not a result of the failure of educational institutions to hire them; but of the very small pool of minority Ph.D. candidates. In examining why some minorities decide to become academics, the authors conclude that same-race role models are no more effective than white role models and that affirmative action contributes to the problem by steering minority students to schools where they perform relatively poorly. They end with policy recommendations on how more minority students might be attracted to an academic career.

Book Synopsis Understanding the Educational and Career Pathways of Engineers by : National Academy of Engineering
Download or read book Understanding the Educational and Career Pathways of Engineers written by National Academy of Engineering and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-01-26 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering skills and knowledge are foundational to technological innovation and development that drive long-term economic growth and help solve societal challenges. Therefore, to ensure national competitiveness and quality of life it is important to understand and to continuously adapt and improve the educational and career pathways of engineers in the United States. To gather this understanding it is necessary to study the people with the engineering skills and knowledge as well as the evolving system of institutions, policies, markets, people, and other resources that together prepare, deploy, and replenish the nation's engineering workforce. This report explores the characteristics and career choices of engineering graduates, particularly those with a BS or MS degree, who constitute the vast majority of degreed engineers, as well as the characteristics of those with non-engineering degrees who are employed as engineers in the United States. It provides insight into their educational and career pathways and related decision making, the forces that influence their decisions, and the implications for major elements of engineering education-to-workforce pathways.
Book Synopsis The Color of Teaching by : June Gordon
Download or read book The Color of Teaching written by June Gordon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major concerns in education at present is how to recruit and attract more teachers from ethnic minorities. In an attempt to move beyond the superficial and simplistic responses as to why these students are not entering teaching this book presents in-depth interviews with over two hundred people from four ethnic groups: African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Latinos. These interviewees, many of them teachers or education professionals, express their attitude towards teaching and their understanding of why others may not choose teaching as a career. One of the most significant and surprising findings is that, regardless of academic or socio-economic standing, students from these ethnic groups tend not to be encouraged to enter the teaching profession by their own families communities and peers. The book concludes with a discussion of programmatic changes and calls for the reconceptualization of the role of teachers. Such changes can only arise out of a fundamental change in attitude of communities of color towards teaching which must be led by teachers themselves.
Book Synopsis International Handbook of Teacher Education by : John Loughran

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Handbooks of Teacher Education cover major issues in the field through chapters that offer detailed literature reviews, designed to help readers to understand the history, issues and research developments across those topics most relevant to the field of teacher education from an international perspective. This volume is divided into two sections: Teacher educators; and, students of teaching. The first examines teacher educators, their role, and the way that role influences the nature of teaching about teaching. In turn, the second explores who students of teaching are, and how that influences the relationship between teaching and learning about teaching.
Book Synopsis Recruiting Black Biology Majors into STEM Education Careers by : Salika A. Lawrence
Download or read book Recruiting Black Biology Majors into STEM Education Careers written by Salika A. Lawrence and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses issues related to the recruitment, preparation, and retention of STEM teachers. Focusing on recruitment specifically, it explores the strategies used to introduce biology majors to the teaching profession, increase their interest in teaching, and support their transition into teaching. Taking the Transformative and Innovative Practices in STEM Education (TIPS) program as a case study, it draws upon a wide range of data sources to contextualize the experiences of program participants, including reflections from participants and program staff, pre- and post- surveys, focus groups, and annual interviews. The authors present insights about their decision-making and use the data to help create illustrative examples of the STEM majors of color who choose to pursue teaching and to explore why others decide not to pursue teaching. It foregrounds the importance of recruiting STEM teachers of color for urban districts, the role of culture and identity in the decision-making process, and the role played by professional development and mentoring. With emphasis on recruiting STEM majors at a Predominantly Black Institution (PBI), the book ultimately provides strategies for increasing collaboration across departments, supporting and mentoring students, and addressing cultural and institutional barriers that STEM majors face when transitioning into teacher education. As such, it will appeal to STEM education and teacher education scholars, as well as program directors, deans of Schools of Education, and deans of Schools of Science.
