Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study's purpose was to identify the existence of upward mobility patterns of Mexican American upper-level academic administrators and to discover factors related to their upward mobility. Objectives were to determine the presence of upward mobility patterns, identify factors related to upward mobility processes, determine administrators' perceptions regarding factors leading to upward mobility, and determine if discrepancies existed between actual progression and perceived requirements for upward mobility. Data were obtained from questionnaires sent to 40 individuals identified by their institutions as Mexican American upper-level administrators. Responses were coded for SAS System computer analysis yielding frequency distributions and other descriptive statistics. Cohen and March's (1974) normative career ladder and Salimbene's (1982) variations to this norm were selected as the models against which the career data would be compared. Respondents were grouped by type of institution, current position, type of career path, and movement into and out of higher education. A profile was developed giving several types of information. Profile components were salary, tenure, rank, work schedule, preparation and education, mentors, membership in organizations, gender, age, height, weight, eye color, hair color, skin hue, voice timbre, religion, political affiliation, ethnic label, "home"/birth states and cities, "brand-new" positions, and job-change plans. The results of the research indicated that 93% of the respondents did not follow the normative career ladder and that their variations were similar to those in Salimbene's model. For all respondents, 55% had been a faculty member, 15% had been a department head, 45% had been a director, and 70% had been a dean. It was found that three variables (hometown, color of skin, and field of study) were related to a higher job level and that, in general, the majority of the factors perceived as necessary for upward progression were possessed by most of the respondents. Conclusions were drawn from the findings of the study, and recommendations for further study were made

Download or read book Bush Tracks written by Lorraine Graham and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transitioning from place to place has been identified as a key marker of many teachers’ lives. Notions of place and transition have been researched for new teachers as they move from university to rural teaching positions; and, for experienced teachers who may move from school to school, town to city, city to rural town. Since 2002, the Bush Tracks Research Group has explored the lived experience of teachers in rural schools. Bush Tracks: The Opportunities and Challenges of Rural Teaching and Leadership is a compilation of more than a decade of research conducted by this multidisciplinary group of academics from the University of New England, New South Wales, Australia. Employing a variety of methodologies, these researchers have worked to understand the intimate lives of teachers working in rural schools – the personal and professional challenges of being in relentlessly close proximity to students and their families; the supports needed to continue professional pathways; and the opportunities for accelerated leadership, all while living in the ‘fishbowl’ of a rural community. Chapters also explore the working lives of small school principals, specifically, some of the innovative methods they use to circumvent metrocentric policies; how ingenuity can resolve challenging teaching and leadership situations; and, what can be done to reconcile sometimes conflicting roles. This book will be of interest to all teachers who have ‘gone bush’, or have ever wanted to; and, to teacher educators who want a text that is nuanced in discussing the challenges and opportunities of teaching in rural schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing on Christine Sleeter's review of research on the academic and social impact of ethnic studies commissioned by the National Education Association, this book will examine the value and forms of teaching and researching ethnic studies. The book employs a diverse conceptual framework, including critical pedagogy, anti-racism, Afrocentrism, Indigeneity, youth participatory action research, and critical multicultural education. The book provides cases of classroom teachers to 'illustrate what such conceptual framework look like when enacted in the classroom, as well as tensions that spring from them within school bureaucracies driven by neoliberalism.' Sleeter and Zavala will also outline ways to conduct research for 'investigating both learning and broader impacts of ethnic research used for liberatory ends'"--
