Download or read book Preparing Middle Level Educators for 21st Century Schools written by Penny B. Howell and published by IAP. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, significant changes have occurred in how schools are organized, how educators are prepared and certified, how accreditation policies have shifted both curriculum and content, as well as changes to the demographics of middle school classrooms. This volume, Preparing Middle Level Educators for 21st Century Schools: Enduring Beliefs, Changing Times, Evolving Practices provides a review of current research focused on middle level educator preparation at all levels. Our enduring beliefs about young adolescents have not changed (e.g., need for developmentally responsive instruction, caring adults who understand them and are prepared to teach them, opportunities to explore their interests) but the political and sociocultural climate of schools and schooling has. In light of changing times, this volume allows researchers and teacher educators to share research from their context and inform the evolving practices of educator preparation for the middle level. The research presented in this volume is organized into three sections, with an introduction provided for each. The authors grounded their work in the Association for Middle Level Education’s teacher preparation standards (2012) and tenets of This We Believe (NMSA, 2010). By doing so, they examine topics that hold potential for meeting the learning needs of teachers and students in middle level schools. The first section includes chapters from individuals working to ensure that the enduring beliefs of middle level education continue to guide the structures of their middle level teacher preparation programs. The second set of chapters closely examines how changing times are shaping the work of teacher educators. Finally, the last section spotlights evolving practices that continue to develop in response to the changes impacting our classrooms, schools, and communities. This text provides readers with researched-based practices and information to help them continue the tradition of middle level teacher education. The enduring beliefs of preparing teachers who understand, respect, and honor the many talents, gifts, and contributions of the young adolescent student will guide teacher educators as they respond to the changing times of education and the evolving practices of teachers, teacher educators, and schools.
Download or read book Teacher Preparation Licensure and Recruitment Policy Statement written by National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform is committed to making high-performing middle-grades schools the norm rather than the exception. The Forum believes that specialized preparation of middle-grades educators will produce competent and caring teachers who are well-qualified to teach young adolescents. Therefore, the Forum strongly supports the specialized preparation of middle-level teachers at both the pre-service and graduate levels. To that end, the Forum makes the following recommendations: (1) States should establish mandatory requirements for middle-level teacher licensure as an incentive for both institutions and individuals to pursue a middle-level specialization; (2) Colleges and universities should establish teacher preparation programs that prepare practicing and future teachers to work specifically with young adolescents, and assign faculty and staff with expertise in middle-level education to these programs; (3) Districts and schools should hire middle-grades teachers to teach the subjects they are prepared to teach; (4) States should make middle-level teacher licensure specific to the middle grades (e.g., grades 5 through 8, or 6 through 9) and not overlap significantly with licensure for the elementary or high school levels; (5) Middle-grades licensure for content-area teachers (such as language arts, science, mathematics, and social studies) should be middle-grades subject-specific and middle-grades standards-based, including concentrated study in two or more academic areas; and (6) Colleges and universities should work in partnership with districts and schools to provide ongoing professional development and sustained support for both new and veteran middle-level teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication focuses on the knowledge base of middle school teacher preparation emphasizing organizing principles that define an excellent middle grades teacher education program. It is designed to complement the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) standards, which focus on licensure, and those of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), which define advanced certification of excellent teachers. The document begins with a historical perspective on the preparation of middle grades teachers, including licensure, recent trends, and consensus program components. Part two discusses the "wise and experienced" middle grades teacher in relation to young adolescent development, curriculum, instruction, school organization, family and community relations, and teaching roles. Part three examines three components that make up an excellent middle grades teacher preparation program within the context of school site delivery. These elements include the foundations of a teacher education program, subject area study or teaching field preparation, and elements of middle grades specialization. The document concludes with a brief discussion of the future of middle grades teacher preparation and the role of these organizing principles. (Contains 49 references.) (ND)

The book also comprises contributions from middle level education experts, who offer responses to each study, offering perspectives, critiques, and commentaries. Reflecting the generative, dialogic, knowledge-building process that took place at the AMLE conference, it showcases the collaborative work of middle level researchers who draw ideas and inspiration for their studies from prior research and accounts of practice, as well as their own experiences in the field.

Those involved with educational policy and politics, as well as teacher training and the sociology of education more broadly, will also benefit from this volume.
