Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unpicks the complex, dynamic blend of individuals’ psychological and professional assets, workplace conditions and leadership support which enable teachers who stay in teaching to continue to make a difference in their careers, regardless of shifts in policy, workplace, professional and personal circumstances. Whilst much has been written over the years about teacher stress and burnout, there is very little research which reports on the conditions which are essential for teachers to sustain their commitment and effectiveness over their professional lives, in contexts of challenge and change. Drawing upon a range of educational, psychological, socio-cultural and neuro-scientific research, together with vivid accounts from teachers in a variety of primary and secondary schools internationally, and from their own research on teachers’ work and identities, the authors discuss the dynamic nature, forms and practices of teacher resilience. They argue that resilience in teachers is not only their ability to bounce back in extremely adverse circumstances but that it is the capacity of teachers for everyday resilience which enables them to sustain their commitment and effectiveness in responding positively to the unavoidable uncertainties inherent of their professional lives. The authors conclude that resilience in teachers can be nurtured by the intellectual, social and organisational environments in which teachers work and live, rather than being simply a personal attribute or trait, determined by nature. Resilient Teachers, Resilient Schools will be of key interest to policy makers, head teachers, teachers and training and development organisations who wish to improve quality and standards in schools.
Download or read book Managing Social and Ethical Issues in Organizations written by Stephen W. Gilliland and published by IAP. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides up-to-date reviews of the research on a number of social and ethical issues of increasing concern confronting today's managers and organizations. The authors, who are recognized international experts on the topics they treat, provide new theories and innovative perspectives on these issues. Further, they use a research base to identify ways for managers and human resources professionals to address these issues in their organizations. Given its breadth of coverage, practitioners faced with these issues, as well as researchers and graduate students in management and organizational psychology, should find this volume of interest. This collection of ten chapters provides the cutting edge on a number of the most pressing challenges in management today. Readers of the volume will discover new models, innovative theoretical approaches, comprehensive reviews, theoretical and methodological critiques, and specific and insightful suggestions for research on these different social and ethical issues facing organizations. Perhaps more importantly, the practical suggestions that come from the research provide a useful bridge between what we know and what we can do to address these challenges, and thus contribute, even in a small way, to workplaces that respect ethics and individuals in all their diversity.

Download or read book An Examination of the Relationship Between Teachers Perceptions of Their School s Ability to Foster a Culture of Resilience and Student Outcomes on the Ohio Sixth Grade Reading Proficiency Test written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School systems across the state of Ohio, as well as across the country, are continually investigating ways to improve student achievement and student outcomes on standardized tests. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the relationship between school culture and student outcomes on the 6th grade reading section of the Ohio Proficiency Test. More specifically, this study examined the presence of a specific type of school culture based on resiliency theory. This study examined the presence of a resilient culture as perceived by the teachers within the school and the relationship to student outcomes on the 6th grade reading section of the Ohio Proficiency Test. The following conclusions were drawn: 1. This study indicates that school culture should be one variable considered when examining student outcomes and how to improve student success on high stakes tests. Furthermore, two sub-scales (Teaching of Life Skills and High Expectations) of a specific type of school culture known as a resilient school culture have been found to significantly impact proficiency scores in this exploratory study. 2. Even though one participating school had greater than 50% of its students coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, it was able to get more than 50% of its students to pass the 6th grade Reading Proficiency Test. This same school had the highest average response rate on 14 of the 36 items administered on the 3Assessing School Resiliency Building4 survey. The information discussed and the findings of this study have implications for school administrators, teachers, superintendents, state agencies, intervention specialists, researchers, parents, and most of all students.
Download or read book Elementary Teachers Perceptions of Student Resiliency written by Andre' D. McLaurin and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore elementary teachers' perceptions of student resiliency. A review of the literature focused on the impact of teacher perception on student resilience, the impact of grit and growth-mindset on student resilience, and the impact of social-emotional learning on student resilience. This study was guided by three research questions: (a) Based on teachers' perceptions, to what extent do students need resiliency skills to be successful in elementary schools? (b) Based on teachers' perceptions, to what extent are teachers able to teach, model, and provide alternative strategies to help develop students' resiliency skills in elementary schools? (c) Based on teachers' perceptions, to what extent are students provided with opportunities to independently apply resiliency skills and strategies in elementary schools? This study was conducted in two suburban school districts located in southeastern Pennsylvania. Thirty-eight classroom teachers completed the entire online survey on elementary teachers' perceptions of student resiliency and five teachers were interviewed to provide additional insight. The results of this study revealed that elementary teachers see a need for students to develop their resiliency skills to be successful in school. Additionally, elementary teachers indicated they do not have sufficient time in their schedules to help teach and model these skills for students on a consistent basis. The need to teach these skills emerged as teacher participants expressed that not all students in their classroom have the skills to be resilient due to their experiences outside of school, their support systems, and their personal mindset about challenging tasks or situations.
Download or read book Early Career Teachers written by Bruce Johnson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses one of the most persistent issues confronting governments, educations systems and schools today: the attraction, preparation, and retention of early career teachers. It draws on the stories of sixty graduate teachers from Australia to identify the key barriers, interferences and obstacles to teacher resilience and what might be done about it. Based on these stories, five interrelated themes - policies and practices, school culture, teacher identity, teachers’ work, and relationships – provide a framework for dialogue around what kinds of conditions need to be created and sustained in order to promote early career teacher resilience. The book provides a set of resources – stories, discussion, comments, reflective questions and insights from the literature – to promote conversations among stakeholders rather than providing yet another ‘how to do’ list for improving the daily lives of early career teachers. Teaching is a complex, fragile and uncertain profession. It operates in an environment of unprecedented educational reforms designed to control, manage and manipulate pedagogical judgements. Teacher resilience must take account of both the context and circumstances of individual schools (especially those in economically disadvantaged communities) and the diversity of backgrounds and talents of early career teachers themselves. The book acknowledges that the substantial level of change required– cultural, structural, pedagogical and relational – to improve early career teacher resilience demands a great deal of cooperation and support from governments, education systems, schools, universities and communities: teachers cannot do it alone. This book is written to generate conversations amongst early career teachers, teacher colleagues, school leaders, education administrators, academics and community leaders about the kinds of pedagogical and relational conditions required to promote early career teacher resilience and wellbeing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s rise, an increasing emphasis on international education benchmarking, and a global recognition of East Asian countries’ success in this regard have brought the issue of Chinese education to the forefront of public consciousness. In particular, the concept of a “Chinese education model” is one that has sparked debate and quickly become a major focus of education research around the world, especially in light of regional achievements vis-à-vis university rankings, bibliometric indices, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), and other such benchmarks. Chinese Education Models in a Global Age tackles this controversial issue head on by synthesizing a diversity of analyses from a world-class team of twenty-seven authors. It reveals that Chinese education models, which are present in many different geographic and institutional contexts, have an important influence on social and institutional norms as well as individual belief systems and behaviors in China and beyond. The first of its kind, this edited volume establishes a foundation for future research while providing a nuanced and tightly integrated compilation of differing perspectives on the role and impact of Chinese education models worldwide. It is essential reading for all scholars, policymakers, students, parents, and educators interested in the rising demographic and economic influence of people of Chinese descent on education around the world.
