Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers make a difference. The success of any plan for improving educational outcomes depends on the teachers who carry it out and thus on the abilities of those attracted to the field and their preparation. Yet there are many questions about how teachers are being prepared and how they ought to be prepared. Yet, teacher preparation is often treated as an afterthought in discussions of improving the public education system. Preparing Teachers addresses the issue of teacher preparation with specific attention to reading, mathematics, and science. The book evaluates the characteristics of the candidates who enter teacher preparation programs, the sorts of instruction and experiences teacher candidates receive in preparation programs, and the extent that the required instruction and experiences are consistent with converging scientific evidence. Preparing Teachers also identifies a need for a data collection model to provide valid and reliable information about the content knowledge, pedagogical competence, and effectiveness of graduates from the various kinds of teacher preparation programs. Federal and state policy makers need reliable, outcomes-based information to make sound decisions, and teacher educators need to know how best to contribute to the development of effective teachers. Clearer understanding of the content and character of effective teacher preparation is critical to improving it and to ensuring that the same critiques and questions are not being repeated 10 years from now.

This book was released on 2000-12-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each new headline about American students' poor performance in math and science leads to new calls for reform in teaching. Education Teachers of Science, Mathematics, and Technology puts the whole picture together by synthesizing what we know about the quality of math and science teaching, drawing conclusions about why teacher preparation needs reform, and then outlining recommendations for accomplishing the most important goals before us. As a framework for addressing the task, the book advocates partnerships among school districts, colleges, and universities, with contributions from scientists, mathematicians, teacher educators, and teachers. It then looks carefully at the status of the education reform movement and explores the motives for raising the bar for how well teachers teach and how well students learn. Also examined are important issues in teacher professionalism: what teachers should be taught about their subjects, the utility of in-service education, the challenge of program funding, and the merits of credentialing. Professional Development Schools are reviewed and vignettes presented that describe exemplary teacher development practices.

Book excerpt: This paper aims to broaden the discussion about effective teacher preparation by exploring three hypotheses designed to expand the early care and education (ECE) research agenda: (1) Both the content and the method of delivery of an educational degree influence teacher practices; (2) Teachers' ability to apply knowledge and skills effectively depends on whether or not they have opportunities and support for ongoing, on-the-job learning; and (3) Certain features of the work environment either support or hinder teachers in demonstrating their competence, and applying their knowledge and skills. It is the intention of the discussion to move the field of ECE beyond a narrow focus on whether or not BA degrees make a difference for children, to a wider exploration of what it takes to develop and maintain teacher instructional practices that effectively promote children's development. The report concludes that research demonstrates that certain issues and barriers are preventing many teachers of young children from doing the best they can. These obstacles include limited opportunities to pursue higher education for a degree while already working as teachers; poor levels of compensation that discourage many who have invested in their education from remaining in the field, fueling high rates of turnover among staff as well as disruption for young children; and professional development programs that are too often superficial, short-term, or disconnected from opportunities for teachers to reflect on what they have learned, discuss it with others, and apply it to daily practice. Final recommendations include urging federal leadership and support in developing: (1) Increased investment in two-year, four-year, and graduate ECE degree programs in institutions of higher education; and (2) A system of program grants for ongoing professional development for ECE teachers. The authors advocate that a sustained research agenda, based on the proposed recommendations, will go a long way toward expanding knowledge about how to assure excellent, well-prepared teachers for American children of all ages. Discussion of Methodology is appended. (Contain 5 footnotes.) [For "Preparing Teachers of Young Children: The Current State of Knowledge, and a Blueprint for the Future.

Download or read book Tackling Social Disadvantage through Teacher Education written by Ian Thompson and published by Critical Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses key issues related to teaching pupils from disadvantaged and impoverished backgrounds and provides a valuable reference and pedagogical tool for teachers and teacher educators. Research has consistently shown that the most economically disadvantaged pupils have the poorest educational outcomes. Austerity government policies and pressures of performativity on schools may have exacerbated this inequality. Yet many teachers remain ill-informed about the effects of social disadvantage on students’ learning and consequently are ill-prepared in appropriate teaching methods. The text critically examines the lessons from previous policy and practice, discusses cognitive and affective aspects of school learning for disadvantaged children and explores the pedagogic implications of research evidence. Using insights from existing research, the book examines the reasons why some trainees and teachers lack a critical perspective on the contexts of poverty and may hold deficit views of students in poverty that suggests they are unable to learn and need to be controlled. It explains some of the links between poverty, special needs, literacy and educational achievement and focuses on strategies for improvement.
