Download or read book Teachers of Color written by Rita Kohli and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers of Color describes how racism serves as a continuous barrier against diversifying the teaching force and offers tools to support educators who identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of Color on both a systemic and interpersonal level. Based on in-depth interviews, digital narratives, and questionnaires, the book analyzes the toll of racism on their professional experiences and personal wellbeing, as well as their resistance and reimagination of schools. Teacher educator and educational researcher Rita Kohli documents the hostile racial climate that teachers of color experience over the course of their academic and professional lives--first as students and preservice teachers and later in their classrooms and schools. She also highlights the tools of resistance these teachers employ to challenge institutionalized oppression and the kinds of professional development and support they need to thrive. Analyzed through the lens of critical race theory, Teachers of Color exposes the ongoing racialization via counter-stories from thirty racially, geographically, and professionally diverse educators. The book concludes with recommendations that various education stakeholders can employ to improve the racial climates of schools and support the growing diversity of the teaching force. At this critical moment, Kohli offers readers an opportunity to strengthen their racial literacies and better understand the strengths, struggles, and power of teachers of color.

Download or read book Change d Agents written by Betty Achinstein and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2011-06-10 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines both the promise and complexity of diversifying today's teaching profession. Drawing from a 5-year study of 21 new teachers of colour working in urban, hard-to-staff schools, this book uncovers a systemic paradox that the teachers confront. They are committed to improving educational opportunities for students of colour by acting as role models, culturally/linguistically responsive teachers, and change agents. The teaching profession encouraged such commitments and some teachers acted with support from individual, organizational, and community-based sponsors. However, many of these new teachers work in schools that are culturally subtractive and have restrictive accountability policies that challenge their ability to perform cultural/professional roles to which they are committed. Many teachers internalize the contradiction, resulting in their becoming changed agents within the educational system they sought to change. This book is essential reading for educators, leaders, and policymakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic Matching: Academic Success of Students of Color is an in-depth exploration on the impact of ethnic matching in education, the paring of students of color with teachers of the same race. Research shows that this method has a positive and long-term impact on the academic experience of students of color. This book explores what makes this phenomenon relevant in today’s classrooms. Through interviewing quality teachers of color, this book sheds a light on the impact these teachers make on the academic experience of students of color. This approach is meant to provide all teachers valuable insight into techniques for engaging with diverse learners. Also, from these conversations, the book shows how the intentionality of culturally responsive practice can enhance the academic experience of students of color. Topics such as the challenges of recruiting and retaining quality teachers of color, as well as the valuable work being done on the local, state, and national level to promote diversifying the field of education as a way to provide equitable education for all students is also explored in this book.

Download or read book 365 Days of Positive Affirmations written by Jenny Kellett and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I can't do that" or "I am not able" - sound familiar? Too many of us are stuck in a negative cycle of thought - but you know what? You are great. You are able to achieve great things. Sometimes you just need to remind yourself of that. Positive affirmations have been used by psychologists since the 1920's to help boost the self-esteem of their patients. Research from Carnegie Mellon University conducted in 2013 provided the first evidence that self-affirmation can protect against the damaging effects of stress and anxiety. Millions of people have successfully used positive affirmations to aid in weight loss, depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues. Scientists believe that when positive affirmations are practiced regularly, they reinforce a chemical pathway in the brain, making the connection between two neurons stronger, and therefore more likely to conduct the same message again. In 365 Days of Positive Affirmations you will be introduced to the power of positive affirmations and experience the impact they can have on your life. Move through the book at your own pace as you discover which words and phrases resonate with you on a personal level. These then become your positive affirmations. Once you have those, use them on a daily basis; use them when doubt creeps into your mind; use them to remind yourself you are capable of achieving great things. Own 365 Days of Positive Affirmations today or purchase for a friend who needs a little positivity boost.
