Book Synopsis Developing Highly Qualified Teachers by : Allan A. Glatthorn
Download or read book Developing Highly Qualified Teachers written by Allan A. Glatthorn and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find research-based answers to: "What is High-Quality Teaching?" "How is High-Quality Teaching Achieved?" The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) establishes a clear demand for highly qualified teachers but does little to help educators define "highly qualified" or instruct them on developing those teachers. This handbook clearly explains the concept of highly qualified teachers, as required by NCLB. It then explains how to recruit, develop, and retain highly qualified teachers. Developing Highly Qualified Teachers is divided into four distinct sections: The Foundations: Addressing NCLB guidelines for developing highly qualified teachers, developing a sense of ownership of the highly qualified concept, and recruiting and selecting staff The General Strategies: Developing a differentiated system of supervision, and implementing a quality staff development program The Specific Approaches: Developing a quality induction program for new teachers, working with marginal staff, fully developing highly qualified teachers, teaming, mentoring, and curriculum development The Results: Retaining quality teachers and developing the faculty as a cohesive community These practices-research based and field tested over many years-will help accomplish the type of faculty improvement and reform that NCLB demands and the adequate yearly progress that students, parents, and faculty deserve.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A groundbreaking history of 175 years of American education that brings the lessons of the past to bear on the dilemmas we face today—and brilliantly illuminates the path forward for public schools. “[A] lively account." —New York Times Book Review In The Teacher Wars, a rich, lively, and unprecedented history of public school teaching, Dana Goldstein reveals that teachers have been embattled for nearly two centuries. She uncovers the surprising roots of hot button issues, from teacher tenure to charter schools, and finds that recent popular ideas to improve schools—instituting merit pay, evaluating teachers by student test scores, ranking and firing veteran teachers, and recruiting “elite” graduates to teach—are all approaches that have been tried in the past without producing widespread change.

Book Synopsis Redefining the No Child Left Behind Act's Highly Qualified Teacher by : Jacqueline S. Gill
Download or read book Redefining the No Child Left Behind Act's Highly Qualified Teacher written by Jacqueline S. Gill and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study shares the perspectives of eight, current Highly Qualified Teachers (HQT) and provides some insight into the points of view of these teachers who are directly affected by the decisions and policies handed down from lawmakers. There is value in deeply understanding the impact of the requirements set forth by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001's (NCLB) definition of the Highly Qualified Teacher as it can help shape future policies to better serve the students it is intended to assist. For this study, participants engaged in an in-depth semi-structured interview and provided demographic data and classroom artifacts. The researcher used a basic qualitative research design to present how NCLB's definition of the Highly Qualified Teacher has been/is being interpreted and how it has affected and continues to affect the ways in which educators construct their real-world classrooms. In addition, the researcher sought to: a) ascertain how well current secondary HQTs delineate their proficiency with the subject(s) they teach; b) impart the perspectives of what current secondary HQTs feel it takes to be prepared to enter the classroom; c) convey the perspectives of how current secondary HQTs feel the government's requirements for becoming a HQT helped to prepare them for the realities of the classroom; and d) based on the findings, recommend policy reform to better meet the needs of current and future teachers. The findings of this study revealed that the current definition of the Highly Qualified Teacher, as defined by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, is inadequate to meet the needs and challenges of today's classrooms. Based on the data collected for this study, the following six changes to policy were recommended: 1) The language used in the definition of the Highly Qualified Teacher needs to be more specific and the loopholes need to be closed. 2) Policy needs to be informed by Highly Qualified Teachers and educators currently working in the school system. 3) As part of their teacher preparation program, all teacher candidates should be required to engage in student teaching. 4) In addition to the requirement for a four-year degree, all Highly Qualified Teachers must complete a minimum of 12 hours of coursework in the content that they teach. 5) The federal government must set some basic guidelines that all educator programs must follow. One of these guidelines must include a call for the introduction of realistic teaching opportunities. 6) Composite exams should be phased out and replaced by subject specific exams that test for knowledge and depth. The Pedagogical and Professional Responsibilities EC-12 exam must be completely reworked to reflect the realities of teaching. Finally, exam attempts should be capped and uncertified teachers should not be allowed to teach beyond a year.

Book Synopsis Testing Teacher Candidates by : National Research Council
Download or read book Testing Teacher Candidates written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-10-19 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have adopted a reform agenda for their schools that calls for excellence in teaching and learning. School officials across the nation are hard at work targeting instruction at high levels for all students. Gaps remain, however, between the nation's educational aspirations and student achievement. To address these gaps, policy makers have recently focused on the qualifications of teachers and the preparation of teacher candidates. This book examines the appropriateness and technical quality of teacher licensure tests currently in use, evaluates the merits of using licensure test results to hold states and institutions of higher education accountable for the quality of teacher preparation and licensure, and suggests alternatives for developing and assessing beginning teacher competence. Teaching is a complex activity. Definitions of quality teaching have changed and will continue to change over time as society's values change. This book provides policy makers, teacher testers, and teacher educators with advice on how to use current tests to assess teacher candidates and evaluate teacher preparation, ensuring that America's youth are being taught by the most qualified candidates.
