Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology on teacher induction research is intended for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners in the field of teacher induction both nationally and internationally. This book is the final and major project of the Association of Teacher Educators' (ATE) Commission on Teacher Induction and Mentoring. Its importance is derived from three sources: (1) careful conceptualization of teacher induction from historical, methodological, and international perspectives; (2) systematic reviews of research literature relevant to various aspects of teacher induction including its social, cultural, and political contexts, program components and forms, and the range of its effects; (3) substantial empirical studies on the important issues of teacher induction with different kinds of methodologies that exemplify future directions and approaches to the research in teacher induction. The content of the book has direct implications for ATE's membership since part of the ATE mission is to provide opportunities for personal and professional growth of the Association membership whether members are researchers, policy makers, or practitioners in teacher learning and/or teacher induction.

Book excerpt: Teacher retention is a wide concern in education and in response school districts throughout the United States are developing more comprehensive teacher induction programs. Components of teacher induction programs that have assisted with successful teacher development include release time for teacher observation, assignment of a knowledgeable mentor, and supportive administration. Teacher confidence is a characteristic that is essential in the development of new educators, yet sometimes ignored during induction programs. This paper recognizes the features of a comprehensive teacher induction program, and how tenets of self-efficacy and the self-determination theory can be linked to practice to encourage the development of a beginning teacher and promote longevity in a teacher's career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Larry Cubans How Teachers Taught has been widely acclaimed as a pathbreaking text on the history and evolution of classroom teaching. Now Cuban brings his great experience as a classroom teacher, superintendent, and researcher to this highly anticipated follow-up to his groundbreaking work. Focusing on three diverse school districts (Arlington, Virginia; Denver, Colorado; Oakland, California), Hugging the Middle offers an incisive portrayal of how teachers teach now. It is a revealing look at a range of current, workable pedagogical options educators are using to engage students while satisfying parents and policymakersoptions that succeed by creating hybrid practices that combine both teacher-centered approaches (e.g., mostly direct instruction, textbooks, lectures) with student-centered ones (e.g., team projects on real-world problems, independent learning, small-groupwork). This book serves as a state-of-the-profession assessment in an era of top-down educational policy.

Download or read book Impacts of Comprehensive Teacher Induction written by Eric Isenberg and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main policy responses to the problems of turnover and inadequate preparation among beginning teachers is to support them with a formal, comprehensive induction program. Congressional interest in formal, comprehensive teacher induction has grown in recent years. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), emphasizes the importance of teacher quality in student improvement. Title II, Part A of ESEA--the Improving Teacher Quality State Grants program--provides nearly $3 billion a year to states to train, recruit, and prepare high quality teachers. The implementation of teacher induction programs is one allowable use of these funds. Current discussions on the reauthorization of NCLB argue for a continued focus on supporting teachers through professional development opportunities and teacher mentoring programs, with a call to fund "proven models" to meet these objectives. In addition, the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 authorizes grants that include teacher induction or mentoring programs for new teachers. These initiatives highlight the need to conduct rigorous research to determine whether comprehensive teacher induction programs produce a measurable impact on teacher retention and other positive outcomes for teachers and students. The National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance within the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences (IES) contracted with Mathematica Policy Research (MPR) to address this issue by evaluating the impact of structured and intensive teacher induction programs over a three year time period, beginning when teachers first enter the teaching profession. An earlier report (Glazerman et al. 2008) presented results from the first year of the evaluation. The current report presents findings from the second year of the evaluation and a future report will present findings from the third and final year. Appendices include: (1) Analytic Methods; (2) Supplementary Figures: Impacts by District; (3) Sensitivity Analyses and Supplemental Tables for Chapter V; (4) Sensitivity Analyses and Supplemental Tables for Chapter VI; (5) Impacts on Teacher Preparedness (Two-Year Districts); and (6) Sensitivity Analyses for Chapter VII. (Contains 105 tables, 22 figures and 59 footnotes.) [For the "Impacts of Comprehensive Teacher Induction: Results from the First Year of a Randomized Controlled Study.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main policy responses to turnover and inadequate preparation among beginning teachers is supporting them with an induction program. Informal or low-intensity teacher induction programs are prevalent and include pairing each new teacher with another full-time teacher without providing training, supplemental materials, or release time for the induction. Much less common is induction that is intensive, comprehensive, structured, and delivered sequentially in response to a teacher's emerging pedagogical needs. But there is little evidence on whether investing more resources in a more comprehensive, and more expensive, induction program would help districts attract, develop, and retain beginning teachers. This study examines whether comprehensive teacher induction programs lead to higher teacher retention rates and to other positive teacher and student outcomes compared with the prevailing, generally less comprehensive approaches to supporting new teachers. After the first year, comprehensive induction made a difference only in the support received by beginning teachers. It had no impact on teacher practices, student test scores, teacher retention, or the characteristics of a district's teaching force. (Contains 2 notes.)
