Download or read book Teachers Matter Connecting Work Lives And Effectiveness written by Day, Christopher and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a DfES funded study of 300 teachers in 100 primary and secondary schools in England, the authors identify different patterns of influence and effect between groups of teachers, which provide powerful evidence of the complexities of teachers' work, lives, identity and commitment, in relation to their sense of agency, well-being, resilience and pupil attitudes and attainment. This, in turn, provides a clear message for teachers, teachers' associations, school leaders and policy makers internationally, in understanding and supporting the need to build and sustain school and classroom effectiveness.
Download or read book Key Issue written by Molly Lasagna and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "teacher retention" refers to the ability to keep teachers on the job. In other words, it is the ability to reduce or eliminate teacher turnover. "Turnover" refers to the migration of teachers between schools or districts "and" the attrition of teachers from the profession (Ingersoll & Perda, 2009). From the perspective of a principal, both are problems of equal concern. From the perspective of a policymaker seeking to improve teacher quality systemwide, however, it is a more nuanced concern. One principal's turnover may be another principal's recruitment boon. If the latter principal is leading a hard-to-staff school, such migration may be welcomed as a move toward a more equitable distribution of teachers. Both migration and attrition are costly, with taxpayers losing approximately $2.2 billion per year to teacher migration and $2.7 billion per year to teacher attrition (Alliance for Excellent Education, 2005). Although the retention of ineffective teaches should of course be discouraged, increasing the retention of effective teachers in the profession will serve all principals well. In high-needs districts, where teacher turnover tends to be highest, improving teacher retention is particularly important. Tracking the movement of teachers between schools, districts, and states as well as into and out of the profession is a good first step to help policymakers and school leaders develop effective strategies for improving teacher retention. This Key Issue offers strategies to improve the retention of qualified and effective teachers in hard-to-staff schools.
Download or read book The New Lives of Teachers written by Christopher Day and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Lives of Teachers examines the varied, often demanding commitments on teachers’ lives today as they attempt to pursue careers in primary and secondary education. Building upon Huberman’s classic study, it probes not only teachers’ everyday lives, but also the ways in which they negotiate the pitfalls of professional development and the different life and work ‘scenarios’ that challenge their sense of identity, well-being and effectiveness. The authors provide a new evidence-based framework to investigate and understand teachers’ lives. Using a range of contemporary examples of teaching, they demonstrate that it is the relative success with which teachers manage various personal, work and external policy challenges that is a key factor in the satisfaction, commitment, well-being and effectiveness of teachers in different contexts and at different times in their work and lives. The positive and negative influences upon career and professional development and the influences of school leadership, culture, colleagues and conditions are also shown to be profound and relate directly to teacher retention and the work-life balance agenda. The implications of these insights for teaching quality and teacher retention are discussed. This book will be of special interest to teachers, teachers’ associations, policy makers, school leaders, and teacher educators, and should also be of interest to students on postgraduate courses.
Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of the Sociology of Education written by Michael W. Apple and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together many of the world’s leading sociologists of education to explore and address key issues and concerns within the discipline. The thirty-seven newly commissioned chapters draw upon theory and research to provide new accounts of contemporary educational processes, global trends, and changing and enduring forms of social conflict and social inequality. The research, conducted by leading international scholars in the field, indicates that two complexly interrelated agendas are discernible in the heat and noise of educational change over the past twenty-five years. The first rests on a clear articulation by the state of its requirements of education. The second promotes at least the appearance of greater autonomy on the part of educational institutions in the delivery of those requirements. The Routledge International Handbook of the Sociology of Education examines the ways in which the sociology of education has responded to these two political agendas, addressing a range of issues which cover three key areas: perspectives and theories social processes and practices inequalities and resistances. The book strongly communicates the vibrancy and diversity of the sociology of education and the nature of ‘sociological work’ in this field. It will be a primary resource for teachers, as well as a title of major interest to practising sociologists of education.

Download or read book Teacher Turnover in Charter Schools Research Brief written by David Stuit and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study aimed to contribute to a deeper understanding of the organizational conditions of charter schools by examining teacher turnover. Using data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) 2003-04 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and the Teacher Follow-Up Survey (TFS), researchers from the National Center on School Choice looked at how teacher turnover differs between charter and traditional public schools and the extent to which these differences are explained by variations in teacher characteristics, school organizational conditions, and contextual factors such as demographic characteristics. In addition, the study examined how turnover varies within the charter school sector. Central questions of the study were: (1) How does the rate of teacher turnover differ between charter schools and traditional public schools?; (2) How do teacher turnover rates vary within the charter school universe, and which types of charter schools have higher/lower turnover rates?; (3) To what extent are the differences in turnover rates between charter schools and traditional public schools explained by differences in teacher characteristics?; (4) To what extent are the differences in turnover rates between charter schools and traditional public schools explained by differences in organizational conditions and contextual factors?; and (5) What reasons do charter school teachers give for leaving the profession or moving between schools, and how do these reasons differ from those given by traditional public school teachers? The study ultimately was interested in the relationship between school sector (charter school and traditional public school) and teacher turnover (attrition and mobility). Researchers hypothesized that the difference in turnover between sectors ("the turnover gap") was due partly to systematic differences in the characteristics of charter and traditional public school teachers. They also hypothesized that the turnover gap was due partly to differences in the organizational conditions of charter schools and traditional public schools, which may stem from charter schools' autonomy from many of the rules and regulations that govern traditional public schools. In addition, they expected turnover to be affected by the context of the school. Key findings include: (1) The rate that teachers leave the profession and move between schools is significantly higher in charter schools than in traditional public schools; (2) Charter schools that are started from the ground up experience significantly more attrition and mobility than those converted from traditional public schools; (3) Differences in teacher characteristics explain a large portion of the turnover gap among charter and traditional public school teachers; (4) Dissatisfaction with working conditions is an important reason why charter school teachers are significantly more likely to switch schools or leave the profession; and (5) Involuntary attrition is significantly higher in charter schools.
