Download or read book Learning and Teaching for Teachers written by Pradeep Kumar Misra and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and balanced description of learning and teaching by connecting it to secondary and higher education teachers’ experiences and practices in day-to-day life. Woven around research conducted by educationists, psychologists, and practitioners around the globe, this book presents key concepts and addresses significant discussions and concerns with regard to learning and teaching in the present age. Seeking to help teachers understand learners’ learning needs, preferences, and styles and manage their teaching plans, priorities, and practices accordingly, it details the main ideas and emerging practices related to learning and teaching in a very easy to ‘read, understand, and practice’ way. The first five chapters approach learning from different perspectives, while the next six explain in detail how to practice teaching to maximize learning outcomes. Combining the traditional textbook-style approach of content description with a self-learning approach based on various real-world situations and activities related to both learning and teaching, this textbook is particularly valuable for teachers in school education, higher education, and teacher education. This book is also an essential resource for fulfilling teachers’ continuing professional development requirements. Although intended for teachers worldwide, the book especially helps teachers in South Asian countries to improve learning outcomes in their classrooms and, subsequently, the quality of their education systems.
Download or read book Teacher Education and Black Communities written by Chance W. Lewis and published by IAP. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of education has been and will continue to be essential to the survival and sustainability of the Black community. Unfortunately, over the past five decades, two major trends have become clearly evident in the Black community: (a) the decline of the academic achievement levels of Black students and (b) the disappearance of Black teachers, particularly Black males. Today, of the 3.5 million teachers in America’s classrooms (AACTE, 2010) only 8% are Black teachers, and approximately 2% of these teachers are Black males (NCES, 2010). Over the past few decades, the Black teaching force in the U.S. has dropped significantly (Lewis, 2006; Lewis, Bonner, Byrd, & James, 2008; Milner & Howard, 2004), and this educational crisis shows no signs of ending in the near future. As the population of Black students in K-12 schools in the U. S. continue to rise—currently over 16% of students in America’s schools are Black (NCES, 2010)—there is an urgent need to increase the presence of Black educators. The overall purpose of this edited volume is to stimulate thought and discussion among diverse audiences (e.g., policymakers, practitioners, and educational researchers) who are concerned about the performance of Black students in our nation’s schools, and to provide evidence-based strategies to expand our nation’s pool of Black teachers. To this end, it is our hope that this book will contribute to the teacher education literature and will inform the teacher education policy and practice debate.

Download or read book A Sense of Calling written by Steve Farkas and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses why new teachers enter the profession and what they think of it now that they are teaching. It also examines the perspectives of young college graduates in other professions and captures the observations of school superintendents and principals. Researchers conducted telephone interviews with members of each group and focus groups with beginning teachers and college graduates. Results indicated that beginning teachers were motivated, committed, and doing what they wanted to do. Low salaries kept some people out of teaching, though incentives other than salaries actually attracted people to the profession. Teachers wanted smaller classes and more administrative and parental support. Almost one in five young graduates in other fields expressed real interest in teaching, and it was not low salaries keeping them away but rather the worry that they could not make a difference. Teachers believed that good teaching comes from what happens daily in the classroom, not from the pages of a book. Six chapters discuss: (1) "Are New Teachers Demoralized and Uncommitted?" (2) "Are Talented Young People Avoiding the Profession?" (3) "Is Money the Problem?" (4) "Is Certification the Problem?" (5) "Is Teacher Preparation the Problem?" and (6) "Do Working Conditions Undermine Teacher Performance?" (Contains 10 endnotes.) (SM)
