Information Age Publishing Professional Learning Journeys of Teacher
Book SynopsisIt is clear that teacher educators have ongoing professional learning and development needs. Chief among these are continuing to learn about content developments and pedagogical practices useful for teaching a range of PK-12 students in varying contexts; developing reflective competencies and sets of practices useful for teaching teacher candidates about teaching; effectively balancing teaching commitments with institutional expectations for scholarship and service; and forging useful understandings of identity across the spectrum of teacher educator responsibility and development over time, including taking on managerial or administrative roles. Working in institutions largely devoid of formal support mechanisms, teacher educators are often left on their own to meet these needs and subsequently must create or seek out opportunities for their ongoing growth. This volume explores in greater depth how exactly teacher educators engage in professional learning and development across their career trajectories.University-based teacher educator learning occurs in a range of settings and across the career span. Contributors to this volume describe university-based teacher educator learning spaces focused on their ongoing professional learning. Such spaces include teacher educator communities of practice, critical friendships, self-study learning groups, faculty learning groups, co-mentoring, and institutionally sponsored professional learning spaces.

Information Age Publishing The Undivided Life: Faculty of Color Bringing Our
Book SynopsisMuch of the research and writing on faculty of color and persistence in the Academy speaks to mentoring, recruitment, retention, job satisfaction, and the Imposter Syndrome. Yet, in spite of the significance (though we are small in numbers) and necessity of faculty of color in the Academy, there is no literature to describe or explain our experiences with regards to our holistic (body, mind, and spirit) existence and persistence in the Academy.Some questions that persist for faculty of color include: How do I continue to persist in the professoriate either in the tenure-track or as a tenured professor? How can I just be me and still be a successful professor? Do I have to check certain parts of me at the door or can I bring all of who I am into the Academy? How can I teach, research, and serve with my whole self and still have my work valued and accepted? Do I have to do safe research/work or can I do the work that I am passionate about? This collection of chapters are the personal stories from faculty of color who have persisted in the Academy despite the sometimes very steep climb.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Thriving as a Professional Teacher
Book SynopsisThriving as a Professional Teacher explores the tensions and balance between developing the classroom you know will be best for the children you teach, and facing external pressures such as Ofsted, performance management, Teacher Standards and the need to prepare children for SATs and other tests. The book locates the professional in the political context before outlining the key challenges faced and experienced, and laying the foundations necessary for the professional to thrive. An expert team of contributors analyses the differences between professionalism and ''professionalisation'', and emphasises the importance of promoting a collaborative, sharing culture to give you the knowledge needed to challenge and contest competing agendas.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Leaders Guide to Working with Underperforming
Book SynopsisUnder increasing pressure in the face of teacher evaluation systems and accountability measures, schools must focus on those teachers that exhibit marginal to incompetent teaching behaviors in their classrooms. This book is a vital resource for educational leaders who are responsible for instructional programs and teacher evaluation. Zepeda's tried-and-true strategies will help you take the necessary steps to support and mentor struggling teachers by detecting underperformance, developing strategies to help teachers, engaging in difficult conversations to enact plans of improvement, and following legal requirements. The practical tools found in this book will help teachers improve their instruction, assessment, classroom management, and teamwork.Trade Review"This book is a must-read for building and system leaders. Zepeda offers a framework for leaders to improve instructional practices for underperforming teachers, and she provides clarity in assembling cues, approaches, and tools to support leaders. This book is a great read for busy school leaders who want to increase student performance by better understanding how to improve instruction across your school and district. Zepeda gets to the point in a clear and easy to follow manner. This book is of such quality that it will easily become the go-to book for school leaders and those who work with underperforming teachers in their schools and systems." --Philip D. Lanoue, Superintendent, Clarke County School District, GA"In this book, one of the most prolific authors in the field makes a clarion call to school leaders to embrace their moral responsibility regarding underperforming teachers. Zepeda not only calls for leaders of learning to display the courage to address issues of underperformance, but also provides myriad strategies for assisting struggling teachers, and when all else fails, for removing teachers who have no commitment or potential to improve."--Stephen P. Gordon, Professor of Education and Community Leadership, Texas State University, USATable of ContentsChapter 1 Framing the Issues about Underperforming Teachers Chapter 2: Teacher Evaluation in a Nutshell Chapter 3: Making the Commitment to Effective Teaching Chapter 4: Underperforming Teachers In and Out of the Classroom Chapter 5: Conversations Needed to Work with Underperforming Teachers Chapter 6: Improvement Planning with Underperforming Teachers … 135-156Chapter 7: The Complexities Leaders Face Working with Underperforming TeachersChapter 8: Keeping Issues in the Classroom Out of the Courtroom: Legal Principles for Confronting Underperforming Teachers Ann BlankenshipChapter 9: The Consequences of Doing Nothing and Making Tough Decisions When All Else Fails Chapter 10: Final Perspectives

University of Chicago Press Versions of Academic Freedom From
Book SynopsisAnalyzes various arguments for the value of academic freedom: Is academic freedom a contribution to society's common good? Does it authorize professors to critique the status quo, both inside and outside the university? Does it license and even require the overturning of all received ideas and policies? Is it an engine of revolution?Trade Review"Fish's pieces on higher education and American culture circulate perhaps more than anyone else's in academe.... Nobody else has slid in and out of controversy and dispute so often, nor has anyone proven so willing and able to combat conservatives and (sometimes) liberals in academic forums and nationwide media alike. Think of major debates inliterary and cultural studies, and Fish is there." (Chronicle of Higher Educotion)"

University of Chicago Press Uncivil Rights Teachers Unions and Race in the
Book SynopsisAlmost fifty years after Brown v Board of Education, a wealth of research shows that minority students continue to receive an unequal education. This title examines a complex relationship between teachers and civil rights activists, which traces the tensions between the two groups in New York City from the Great Depression to the present.Trade Review"Uncivil Rights makes a major contribution to our understanding of the often fraught relationship between (mostly white) teachers and (mostly non-white) students in the nation's largest school system. Skillfully framed around changing conceptions of teachers' and students' 'rights' in public schools, this book explains - better than any other - how teachers in New York City first won and then lost recognition of their status as 'professionals' in the classrooms and communities where they work."
