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.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, the U.S. Secretary of Education launched a national campaign urging black males to choose teaching as a career with the ambitious goal of adding 80,000 black male public school teachers by 2015 (Teach Campaign, 2011). This campaign, coupled with recent reports, suggests students should encounter a wide diversity of teachers (Boser, 2011; Byrd et al., 2011). Arguments have been made that teacher diversity should include gender, race, and socio-economic status (Angus & Oliveira, 2012). This study focused on an important aspect of this problem: African American males. This mixed-methods sequential descriptive study inquired about effective strategies for recruiting African American males into undergraduate teacher-education programs. The study employed multiple data collection methods: reviewing the literature, accessing institutional websites and other online recruitment materials; sending an inquiry letter, and interviewing those responsible for recruiting prospective teacher-education undergraduates. Four research questions guided the study. 1. What strategies are presented in the literature as best practices for recruiting males and African American males, in particular, as undergraduates into teacher-education programs? 2. What strategies do institutions use to recruit males and African American males, in particular, into undergraduate teacher-education programs? 3. What do program leaders perceive as effective strategies, and barriers to those strategies, for recruiting males and African American males into undergraduate teacher-education programs? 4. Based on the research results, what effective strategies and barriers to those strategies are identified for attracting African American males into undergraduate teacher-education programs? The literature review disclosed that the Call Me Mister programs were the most active and successful in attracting African American males into teacher-education. The websites of a random sample of undergraduate teacher-education programs (N=1,500) revealed that few traditional colleges and universities (2%) used their websites to attract undergraduate males (1%). The interviews (N=7) identified several effective strategies in use: offering institutional scholarships; finding other financial support; recruiting actively; forming community partnerships; achieving a critical mass; and seeking internal institutional support. Building upon these strategies, a series of recommendations are put forth for leaders of teacher-education programs to consider.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Executive Position Paper examines the factors contributing to low minority enrollment in teacher education programs at Mid-Atlantic University, a mid-sized, public university. Interviews and focus groups with Mid-Atlantic administrators, Mid-Atlantic minority students, community college counselors, and high school Future Educators Association advisors are analyzed to provide recommendations for a minority recruitment plan for teacher education majors. Contributing factors to low minority enrollment in Mid-Atlantic University's teacher education programs include students' lack of knowledge of career options in K-12 settings, students' perception of teaching as a non-prestigious career, and strict academic requirements for teacher education majors. Minority recruitment recommendations include 1.) improve the image of teaching among minority students, 2.) improve connections with high schools and community colleges, 3.) take an active role in admissions recruitment efforts, 4.) provide financial support to minority teacher candidates, and 5.) diversify the teacher education curriculum to include more multicultural content.
