Download or read book Vocational Identity and Career Construction in Education written by Fidan, Tuncer and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, careers have transformed to be flexible and changing rather than stable, life-long commitments to an organization. As such, making work meaningful, controlling the work environment, and taking the opportunity to get required training for the next job are as important as the financial advantages. Educators careers cannot be isolated from the rest of the labor market, and these developments are expected to influence the career decisions of educators. Vocational Identity and Career Construction in Education uses career construction theory to investigate objective factors influencing career choices and paths of educators, including factors influencing vocational personality development, career counseling activities, transition from school to work, adaptation to different work environments, and meaning of work for educators. Featuring research on topics such as diagnosing career barriers, person-environment fit, and workforce adaptability, this book is designed for educational administrators, human resources theorists, students studying career-related subjects, and practitioners working in managerial positions in private and public educational organizations.

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 Teaching Careers in Elementary Education written by Institute for Career Research and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS teach children from Kindergarten to fifth, sixth, or eighth grade (depending on the school system). Many teach a variety of subjects, from history to reading to science. Others specialize in one content area. Most teach in public schools and about 10 percent work in private schools. From coast to coast, rural village to metropolitan hub, there are schools in need of motivated teachers. The best part of being an elementary school teacher is inspiring children and seeing them grow and develop as learners and people. If you enjoy spending time with children you will find this to be a very rewarding career. Every day involves new adventures - some good, some bad. This is a job that will keep you on your toes. You will need to be creative, patient, energetic, and social. Strong communications skills are also a must. The nine-month school year allows teachers a long summer vacation in which to rest and recharge, travel, or work a second job. Their regular workweek also allows some extra time off in comparison to office jobs. The elementary school day typically runs from 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning, to 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon. Salaries are modest, but they are improving, and full-time teachers do enjoy good benefits packages. There will be an increase in the number of jobs over the next decade. You can get a teaching job with a bachelor's degree and certification earned through student teaching, and an exam. In college, there are two options. One is to major in elementary education, and the other is to major in a content area such as math and take additional education courses. Some school districts require their teachers to hold a master's degree, but this is not usually the case. However, teachers must take continuing education courses throughout their career to maintain certification. Good elementary school teachers understand that children are the future. As a teacher, you have the opportunity to make an enormous difference in the lives of your students and their families. In fact, you may be one of the most influential people in a child's life. If you are up for the challenges and joys of teaching, read on to learn more about how to become an elementary school teacher!

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.
