This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attrition among educators is a continuing concern in the area of special education. Job satisfaction has been associated with teacher burnout and teacher attrition. Many times, multiple educators work in a close environment creating a need for community in special education. The purpose of this study is to identify differences in job satisfaction among special educator roles, including collaborative general education teachers and inclusive special education teachers, as well as self-contained special education teachers and paraprofessionals, when controlling for sense of community. A quantitative, causal comparative design was used to determine differences among job satisfaction between special educators. The study involved 93 participants with 34 collaborative general education teachers, 30 inclusive special education teachers, 14 self-contained special education teachers, and 15 paraprofessionals. Participants were selected from public school districts in Virginia containing elementary, middle, and high schools. Variables were collected using two survey instruments, including Paul Spector’s Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), to determine educator satisfaction, and Wilfried Admiraal and Ditte Lockhorst’s Sense of Community in School Scale (SCSS) to identify educator’s perception of community. Data was gathered using SurveyMonkey. In addition, data was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to determine if there were significant differences in job satisfaction between educator roles while controlling for the covariate, perceived sense of community.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher turn over has been a concern over the last 30 years in the United States. The implementation of No Child Left Behind Act in 2002 impacted the accountability of teachers. This quantitative, correlation study endeavors to determine the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction. Within this study, teachers of a Title I school in the largest school district in a southern state were surveyed via hard copy. The Tschannen-Moran instrument, Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (2001), was used to identify three subscales: student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. The Job Satisfaction Survey collected participants’ general satisfaction by analyzing nine subscales resulting in one unique satisfaction score. Finding a positive correlation between self-efficacy and job satisfaction will be beneficial to resource managers and principals as they attempt to lessen teacher turnover and increase resiliency in the field.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Paraprofessional Job Satisfaction and Student Academic and Co curricular Success for Secondary School Students in Special Education written by Thomas Edward Keane and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study also asked whether there are differences among schools in the levels of paraprofessional job satisfaction in four areas of job satisfaction cited from the literature. These included role clarity, task consistency, effective communication, and adequate supervision. Student academic success was measured by student MCAS ELA and MCAS Math scores. Co-curricular success was measured by a student Co-curricular Involvement Inventory. The latter is important because special education students who are sufficiency supported have a greater opportunity to become integrated members of the school community and the larger society when they transition from school.

This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a seemingly tumultuous time of political change, caring and healing are needed now more than ever. This is especially true in education, which has been criticized for a disproportionate focus on the technical aspects of teaching with less focus on its “human” aspects. Creating Caring and Supportive Educational Environments for Meaningful Learning is a collection of innovative research on the practical and theoretical questions involved in organizing traditional and nontraditional areas of study around themes of care and support for students within the framework of current educational systems and standards. While highlighting topics including service learning, ethics of care, and student mental health, this book is ideally designed for teachers, administrators, researchers, and academicians seeking current research on the importance and ethics of the human aspects of education.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special educator teacher attrition has been an ongoing issue in the U.S. for decades. Urban districts face particular challenges with special educator teacher attrition due to high poverty rates and limited resources. Current research indicates that many factors contribute to the high rates of special educator attrition in urban areas, but there is limited information regarding the extent of the role job satisfaction plays in special educator teacher retention. Understanding the extent of this relationship enables district leaders to make informed decisions regarding additional supports that may be necessary to improve special educator retention. The purpose of this quantitative, correlational, explanatory research was to examine the relationship between urban special educators' level of job satisfaction and their intention to remain in their current positions. The central Research Question guiding this study was: What is the relationship between job satisfaction among special educators in two small cities and their intention to remain in their current teaching position? This research was grounded in both Herzberg's motivational and hygiene theory and Maslow's needs hierarchy theory. The researcher used both purposeful and snowball sampling to identify special educators in targeted small city districts in two counties within the same U.S. east coast region. A cross-sectional survey design was used to obtain current information regarding job satisfaction and teachers' intentions to remain in their current position. Data were analyzed using SPSS software to conduct a correlational analysis between the level of small city special educators' job satisfaction and their intention to remain in their current position. Results of the survey indicated that though the majority of participants reported high levels of job satisfaction, an equally high percentage planned to pursue employment outside of their current district. These data have the potential benefit district administrators who are interested in better supporting and retaining special educators, however it is evident that additional research is needed to better understand the factors motivating special educators to leave their positions.

This book was released on 2023-11-08 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of what makes a good teacher has been asked by practitioners, policymakers, and researchers. Teachers are important drivers of student success in the immediate term, such as academic success. Nowadays, the education process is influenced by various factors which can all have a strong effect on the quality of teaching and learning. Having the intention to create high-quality teaching and learning, it is very important to clearly determine what those factors are, and what kind of effect they have on the education process. Different teacher characteristics and competencies have been distinguished in the literature as being relevant predictors of their instructional quality. Even though educational psychology has emphasized the significance of the personality role in the education process, the empirical evidence on the relationship between teacher characteristics and instructional quality is not yet conclusive. Certainly, there is much more to find out.
