This book was released on 2008 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recruiting and retaining teachers is a nationwide issue for schools in all locales. For rural schools, however, lower salaries, small school sizes, and geographic isolation can make it even more difficult to recruit and retain a qualified teaching staff. This study sought to quantify and characterize differences in recruiting teachers between rural and non-rural high schools in the Central Region, as well as identify differences in teacher recruiting and retention between rural secondary schools that were "successful" and "unsuccessful," as evidenced from their responses to 12 survey items found in the 2003-2004 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) data. Responses to the SASS items addressing recruiting and retention strategies largely did not differentiate between successful and unsuccessful rural high schools, however. To augment these findings with descriptions of the experiences of successful rural high schools, researchers also interviewed seven principals identified as successful by their state agencies. The interviewed principals identified other strategies for recruiting and retaining secondary teachers, such as a focus on recruiting rural residents. Taken together, the data analysis and the interview findings suggest that small towns and rural areas in the Central Region have in fact had relatively more difficulty in recruiting teachers than have larger communities, underscoring that rural principals and district administrators are in need of strategies for teacher recruitment and retention. Four appendixes present: (1) Tables; (2) Methodology and Data Analysis; (3) SASS School District Questionnaire Items 14 and 28 and School Questionnaire Item 38B; and (4) Interview Protocol. (Contains 50 footnotes, 4 boxes, and 13 tables.).

Download or read book The Resilient Rural Leader written by Melissa A. Sadorf and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2024-04-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the rural education leader is complex and demanding, but the rewards of serving in a rural school district are innumerable. Learn how to work through challenges and maximize success in this often overlooked and underresourced field. In the United States, the umbrella term "rural education" applies to diverse place-based contexts ranging from remote mountain communities to midwestern agricultural areas to southwestern mesas and beyond. One thing these varied environments have in common is the need for creative, solutions-oriented leadership. In The Resilient Rural Educator, award-winning superintendent Melissa A. Sadorf draws on her extensive experience teaching and leading in a rural school district in Arizona to identify issues unique to rural education and explore ways to capitalize on local resources to provide the best possible education for all students. Topics Sadorf investigates in depth include the following: • Juggling multiple district roles while maintaining efficiency and effectiveness • Recruiting and retaining staff, teachers, and administrators in a rural area • Connecting students and families with needed services and resources • Solving the challenges of limited access to utilities such as broadband internet • Navigating the role of the rural school as the hub of the community • Managing community partnerships for mutually beneficial results Rural school districts serve approximately one in five students across the United States—students who deserve an equitable education. The insightful, innovative, and comprehensive strategies found in this book will help you and your district deliver that education to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This teacher education textbook invites preservice and beginning teachers to think critically about the impact of rurality on their work and provides an overview of what it means to live, teach, learn, and thrive in rural communities. This book underscores the importance of teaching in rural schools as an act of social justice—work that dismantles spatial barriers to economic, social, and political justice. Teaching in Rural Places begins with a foundational section that addresses the importance of thinking about rural education in the U.S. as an educational environment with particular challenges and opportunities. The subsequent chapters address rural teaching within concentric circles of focus—from communities to schools to classrooms. Chapters provide concrete strategies for understanding rural communities, valuing rural ways of being, and teaching in diverse rural schools by addressing topics such as working with families, building professional networks, addressing trauma, teaching in multi-grade classrooms, and planning place-conscious instruction. The first of its kind, this comprehensive textbook for rural teacher education is targeted toward preservice and beginning teachers in traditional and alternative teacher education programs as well as new rural teachers participating in induction and mentoring programs. Teaching in Rural Places will help ensure that rural students have the well-prepared teachers they deserve.

Download or read book Exploring Teacher Recruitment and Retention written by Tanya Ovenden-Hope and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking collection examines the challenge of teacher shortages that is of international concern. It presents multiple perspectives, and explores the commonalities and differences in approaches from around the world to understand possible solutions for the current teacher workforce crisis. Acknowledging that solutions to attract and retain teachers vary by country, region and in some cases locality, the contributors scrutinise a range of workforce planning interventions at local and government level, including financial incentives and early career support. The book draws on different perspectives to understand a range of problems that negatively affect teacher recruitment and retention, unpicking key challenges, including links between the disadvantages of location and access to teachers for coastal and rural schools, rising pupil numbers, declining school budgets and the role of professional learning in raising teacher status. Abundant in critiques, research-informed positions and context-specific discussions about the impact of teacher workforce supply and shortages, this book will be valuable reading for teacher educators, educational leaders, education policy makers and academics in the field.

Download or read book District and School Leaders Perceptions of Recruitment and Retention of Teachers of Color in Public K 12 Rural Tennessee Schools written by Veronica Rogers-Horton and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research was limited when it came to the perceptions of rural district and school leaders regarding the recruitment and retention of teachers of color. Beginning in 2021 2022, Tennessee’s Educator Diversity Policy, 5.700 outlined requirements for local education agencies to submit goals, plans, and strategies to promote the recruitment and retention of teachers of color with the consideration of the population of students of color who are enrolled compared to teachers of color who are employed within schools. Due to the increasing enrollment of students of color in public schools, the increasing diversity of the workforce in the United States, and the positive outcomes that teachers of color had for all students, but specifically for students of color, research was necessary to understand what strategies could be utilized by rural district leaders and rural school leaders to support the recruitment and retention of teachers of color in public K 12 rural Tennessee schools. In this qualitative, interpretive study, seven rural district leaders and seven rural school leaders completed the questionnaire. I discovered rural district and school leaders, who were responsible for submitting goals, plans, and strategies to the state of Tennessee, as well as for the recruitment and retention of teachers of color, did not feel equipped to provide specific strategies, and organizational support geared toward the recruitment and retention of teachers of color.

Book excerpt: This working paper is based on country case studies of Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Madagascar, Tanzania, and Uganda, and an extensive literature review. In many parts of Africa, the demand for secondary teachers substantially exceeds the supply, due to factors such as secondary teacher attrition, bottlenecks in the teacher preparation system, and perceived unattractive conditions of service. Few countries have strong policies, strategies, and programs for recruiting able secondary school graduates to secondary teaching. The paper suggests several critical and promising areas for improvement in th.

Book excerpt: Teacher shortages are essentially a problem of distribution (Darling-Hammond, 2001; Ingersoll, 2001; National Association of State Boards of Education, 1998; Olson, 2000; Reeves, 2003; Voke, 2002). According to recent studies, hardest to find are teachers who are both qualified and willing to teach in hard-to-staff schools, which included those in highly urban and rural areas--especially schools serving minority or low-income students. In addition, recruitment and retention of high-quality teachers are intertwined; it's not enough to attract these teachers if concurrent steps are not taken to keep them (Liu, Johnson, & Peske, 2004). Schools need help in building their capacity to attract and maintain a highly qualified teaching staff. Although not all urban and rural schools are hard to staff, those with high numbers of inexperienced and out-of-field teachers, special-needs or English-language-learner students, and poor, minority, and highly mobile students face the toughest recruitment and retention challenges (Jacob, 2007; Monk, 2007; Reeves, 2003; Southeast Center for Teaching Quality, 2002). Also, social and geographic isolation and lower-than-average pay make these schools unattractive to many teachers--leading to an inequitable distribution of teachers as more head to midsized and suburban districts (Levin & Quinn, 2003; Reeves, 2003). The needs of hard-to-staff urban schools are often very different from those of their rural counterparts, and teacher recruitment is no exception. Therefore, recruitment strategies must be targeted to meet the needs of individual districts and schools. Several tips and cautions for policymakers and school leaders to keep in mind are listed in this paper.
