Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collective bargaining in the public schools of the nation has its legal roots in the industrial labor model fashioned in the 1930s out of labor strife between union organizers and private businesses. This industrial union labor model was transplanted almost wholesale into the public sector over fifty years ago when teachers, fire and police personnel were granted the legislative right to collectively bargain their wages, benefits, and terms and conditions of employment in most states. What impact has this industrial model had on public education and on the relationship between teachers and administrators? Labor Relations in Education explores unions and collective bargaining in the public schools of America. The history of the laws, the politics of the response to collective bargaining and unions, and the practices of bargaining and managing a contract are explored in this volume. Changes that may move labor relations into professional relations and away from the industrial labor union model and diminish the schism that exists between educators are discussed. A fully developed simulation is included to employ the practices and concepts discussed in the book.

Download or read book Teachers and Their Unions written by Todd A. DeMitchell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers and Their Unions: Labor Relations in Uncertain Times explores the decade of uncertainty in public education following the Great Recession by first laying a foundation that describes the development of teachers and public education and the rise of teacher unions. The selection of the industrial labor model at the outset of public sector collective bargaining set the table for challenges to its fit with education. The theme of teacher as member of a union and teacher as a professional is explored within the context of a collective bargaining environment. The section “Law and Politics in Uncertain Times: Retrenchment and Assault” explores the decade of uncertainty. It reviews the industrial union model and within the twin challenges of the conundrum of teacher as union member and professional in the struggles of the decade. Tenure (boondoggle or necessary protection), VAM (rank and yank), right-to-work, agency fees, and teacher strikes are explored within the themes of the industrial union model and the tension of union member and professional. The book concludes with thoughts for the future and responds to the question of whether teacher unions are still pertinent.

Download or read book Collective Bargaining in Education written by Jane Hannaway and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely and comprehensive volume will spur and strengthen public debate over the role of teachers unions in education reform for years to come. Collective bargaining shapes the way public schools are organized, financed, staffed, and operated. Understanding collective bargaining in education and its impact on the day-to-day life of schools is critical to designing and implementing reforms that will successfully raise student achievement. But when it comes to public discussion of school reform, teachers unions are the proverbial elephant in the room. Despite the tremendous influence of teachers unions, there has not been a significant research-based book examining the role of collective bargaining in education in more than two decades. As a result, there is little basis for a constructive, empirically grounded dialogue about the role of teachers unions in education today.

Download or read book Teacher Unions and TQE written by William A. Streshly and published by Corwin. This book was released on 1994-04-08 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to provide school administrators and labor leaders with ideas about how to improve school district labor relations by incorporating the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM). In schools that apply the principles of Total Quality Education (TQE)--that is TQM as it modified to school practice--labor and management can agree to disagree while still maintaining a positive atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. Chapter 1 presents a brief history of U.S. teachers and their early associations. Chapter 2 focuses on the problems caused by industrial-style teacher unions and develops a rationale for abandoning adversarial union-management relations. The third chapter examines W. Edwards Deming's "14 points for management," which form the basis for the transformation of an organization into one that embraces the principles of TQM. Each of the points is related to the educational setting and school district labor relations. The collective bargaining aspects of labor relations are examined in chapter 4, which discusses the various conflicts and concordances, harmonies and dissonances, to determine whether collaborative bargaining is a vehicle or barrier to reform. Chapters 5-7 deal with the transformation from industrial unions to professional unions and changes that must be made as educators embrace the concepts of TQM. Chapter 5 focuses on the drift toward professional unionism, and chapter 6 delivers some practical advice for launching a new quality labor relationship in a school district. Chapter 7 is focused on the policy trust agreement. Key terms and references accompany each chapter. A total of 5 exhibits, 9 tables, and 1 figure are included. (LMI)

Download or read book You Can t Do it Alone written by Jean Johnson and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2011 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts and reformers have suggested many promising ideas for improving schools and ramping up student learning, but in too many cases, proposals for change run up against resistance, confusion, and anxiety from key stakeholders such as teachers, parents, students, and members of the broader public. To propel change--and to sustain it--school leaders need to understand what is driving these responses and develop more effective strategies for engaging these groups in the mission of reform. You Can't Do It Alone provides school leaders with a crisp summary of opinion research among teachers, parents, and the public conducted by Public Agenda, Education Sector and other respected analysts. It offers tips on what leaders can do to more successfully engage these groups in areas such as reforming teacher evaluation, turning around low-performing schools, and building support for world-class standards. The book also introduces a theory of change and public learning developed by social scientist Daniel Yankelovich, along with some practical rules of the road for promoting the kind of dialogue that leads to consensus and action.
