Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An explanation of the impending shortage of minority teachers and suggestions for increasing the supply of minority teachers compose the crux of this document. The following specific actions may be taken by local school districts, colleges of teacher education, teacher certification boards, and teacher recruitment and selection offices to ensure that a highly talented cadre of minorities will choose teaching over other professions: (1) gather information about gender and minority distribution of students enrolled in colleges of education, and of teachers; (2) organize task forces that focus uniquely on minority teacher recruitment; (3) develop strategies to expand the number of target groups from which to recruit teachers; (4) lobby for fiscal support to improve minority participation in the teacher recruitment effort and expand financial assistance packages; (5) increase financial support for schools that minorities attend; and (6) develop a pool of oncall minority professionals who can be quickly brought into teaching. An appendix lists suggested recruitment programs and practices with regard to policy review and constituency building, data-gathering activities, early recruitment/pipeline improvement, program-entry incentives, retention to successful licensure, and recruitment from alternative pools.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study examined the recruitment programs and strategies that the personnel administrators are using to attract minority candidates into the field of education. Research has indicated that having a more representable number of minority teachers teaching will have a positive effect upon not only minority children, but also all children in public schools. Also examined are the challenges involving the recruitment issues and barriers that are encountered by those who recruit teachers. There were several conclusions resulting from this study. The state and national programs that were available to the personnel administrators are being used to recruit teachers. However, specific programs that target minority teachers were not being used to the fullest extent. The job fairs attended by school districts were deemed very effective, whereas the use of the minority media was not as widely used but was perceived to be effective by respondents. The non-participation in some programs causes a low perception of the effectiveness of such programs. Recruitment problems were found to be centered on the fact that there are a limited number of minority candidates available to select. The perception of personnel administrators is that local school districts are putting forth-substantial effort to recruit minorities. Local businesses, professional organizations, and universities have been, and will continue to be, a contributing factor as they lend their resources to the recruitment effort. Finally, there is both a minority teacher shortage and an overall teacher shortage in North Carolina as evidenced by the perceptions of the personnel administrators and the state of North Carolina taking steps to addressed the shortage by implementing various initiatives and programs to help resolve this issue.

Download or read book The Perspective of School Personnel in a Georgia School District Concerning the Recuitment of Minority Teachers written by Shyla D. Ridley and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Recruiting and attracting minorities into the teaching profession is difficult. Given the competitiveness of the current job market and the heavy emphasis on standardized testing for all teacher candidates, the difficulties of attracting quality minority teachers are becoming more challenging. The lack of a racially and culturally diverse teaching staff remains a major issue in education nationally and locally, especially since projections indicate that the representation of minority teachers is declining while the number of minority students is increasing. This need for more minority teachers is even more critical in urban public schools characterized by large percentages of minority students and rural hard-to-staff schools. The purpose of the study was to identify effective recruitment strategies used to recruit minority teachers. The researcher utilized qualitative methodology for this study. The study was a single case study. The research examined recruitment initiatives used by a school district utilizing interview questions administered to a select population of school and district level personnel. The participants of the study were individuals who had the authority to speak about the recruitment and selection of minority teachers in their district that included the human resource director, a school board member, and the principal of an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school from the same Georgia public school district. The results of the interviews were examined for the similarities and differences in the recruitment initiatives for minority teachers as perceived by the participants. The interviews were recorded and transcribed by the researcher and the data organized, classified, and developed by themes. Several themes emerged from these interviews. It is important to recruit minority teachers because they serve as positive role models. However, participants focused on hiring the most qualified candidate regardless of race/ethnicity. The second prevailing theme was that no specific policies are in place regarding the recruitment of ethnic and minority teachers. The third theme was that a computerized recruitment system seemed to be the most effective recruitment instrument. Other strategies used to recruit minority teachers in the district included word of mouth, job fairs, and participation in the TAPP program. Therefore, recommendations from this study included, the school district conduct a similar study to determine if all principals are aware of and are using the tools at their disposal for recruiting and retaining minority teachers, the school district solicit best practices each year from principals who have successfully recruited minority teachers, the human resource department publishes an annual report on the school district website that depicts hiring patterns of each school in the district, and the human resource department provide annual reports to members of the board of education with the number of teachers and students in each school by racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Download or read book Recruiting and Retaining Culturally Different Students in Gifted Education written by Donna Y. Ford and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One pervasive educational issue is the national underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic students in gifted education. Virtually every school district is grappling with having too few students from these groups identified as gifted and served in gifted classes and programs. Recruiting and Retaining Culturally Different Students in Gifted Education addresses this long-standing national problem through the dual lens of recruitment and retention. The focus is on how to equitably recruit (screen, refer, and/or assess) culturally different students and, just as importantly, to retain them. Recruitment and retention require providing academic, cultural, and social supports to culturally different students and ensuring that educators are willing and able to address issues and barriers. No time is better than now to address and correct the underachievement albatross, and the focus on recruitment and retention holds the greatest promise.
