Book excerpt: This book explores the question of why some teachers stay in the classroom and others leave. The future quality of schools, the author explains, hinges on who will teach. Through interviews and surveys of teachers (both present and former) in a variety of settings - a poor, inner-city high school, an affluent suburban high school, and one in a working-class neighbourhood - this book examines the role of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors in the decision to remain in the profession. Teachers in each setting discuss training, job satisfaction, professional involvement, and workplace conditions that make teaching more than just a job.

Download or read book Integrating Careers Into Your Classroom written by Bonnie-Marie Doughty-Jenkins and published by Green Heart Living Press. This book was released on 2021-04-10 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What prepares a graduating high school student for meaningful work as they enter adulthood? Conventional wisdom from the last several decades has stressed a direct pipeline into higher education. Should this be considered the gold standard and best practice? Make no mistake, there is great value in a college education. However, a laser focus on moving students from traditional high school models into the halls of higher learning has permeated our culture, and driven the conversations in countless guidance counselor offices, perhaps to the detriment of not only individual students, but our economy and ability to compete in a global market as well. In this wide-ranging exploration of the value of integrating careers such as manufacturing and traditional blue collar jobs into classroom experiences, author Dr. Bonnie-Marie Doughty-Jenkins tackles the value and definition of post-high school education. From exploring our cultural history and norms around college bound guidance, to diving into the perhaps unintended outcome of a wide gap in the skilled labor workforce, you'll be inspired to think both deeply and broadly about what our focus on education means for students as individuals, and the nation as a whole. In the end, there is a simple question to be posed, and an answer to be drawn: Do students need to go to college to have a successful career? No. Do they need to be educated? Yes! There is a clear difference between college and education. To be educated means to be schooled in the information you need to be a successful critical thinker and meaningful participation in society. And it is never a one size fits all mold. Dive into this book to learn how you can more effectively guide the students in your care to a meaningful future - no matter which path they take.

Its purpose is to inspire others who might be contemplating a similar journey in order to transition into teaching. Career Switchers are risk takers. In many instances they leave secure and well paid jobs in order to venture into the unknown world of education and they do this so that they can make a difference in the lives of children. They become students themselves to complete the coursework, they compete with all other candidates to get hired, and they subject themselves to the challenges of teaching instead of remaining in the comfort zone of their previous career. Each of the twelve chapters tells a unique story, and the reader can rest assured that everything in each chapter is absolutely true!

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'"--
