How to Get Hired As a Full-Time Teacher: an Insider's Perspective


Book Description

The author, Jamie Reynolds, is a teacher with 16 years of teaching experience who is currently a full-time Kindergarten teacher. Here is what he has to say about his book: "I have seen a lot of potential teachers get hired and I have also seen a lot of them get turned down. The frustration is real. The mental battles within are real. The part of the hiring process candidates are not aware of is real. Candidates need an insider's perspective. Quite frankly, if you are not inside a school building every school day all year, you just do not understand, and it would be impossible for anyone to understand. I wrote this book to help you see what you are unaware of behind the scenes. I set aside a large portion of my summer break to write this book to help people. I want to help people understand why they can't get the job they want, and I want them to get the job they want. All of the people who I wanted to help but I couldn't say anything to for the last 15 years compelled me to write this book. If it were not for watching their frustrations and wanting to help I would not have written it. I want to help. The tips you can see in the table of contents are only part of what you need to know.

Bringing Insider Perspectives into Inclusive Teacher Learning


Book Description

This fascinating text offers a compelling argument for the need to include insider perspectives of disability in teacher education programs, in order to enrich professional understandings and shed light on the reality of living with a disability. With contributions from a highly experienced team of authors from a wide range of educational settings, Bringing Insider Perspectives into Inclusive Teacher Learning includes case studies and research projects on how teacher educators gather, interpret and integrate insider perspectives into teacher education programs, along with practical strategies as to how educators can develop programs more sensitive to the experiences of ‘insiders’. Questions addressed include: How do teacher educator researchers gather insider perspectives? What are some of the barriers and challenges involved? What critical experiences and lessons can be learned from teacher educators who have integrated insider perspectives? How can insider perspectives bring about a more meaningful inclusion of students with disabilities? Offering a range of different methodologies to engage students, parents, teachers, school leaders and teacher educators, this thought-provoking book provides practical ideas about how insider perspectives can enhance teacher learning and support greater inclusive practices in schools. This text will be useful to university lecturers, teachers and education specialists, as well as students of educational studies and ITE courses from foundation degree level through to undergraduate and postgraduate study.




Teach for America Counter-narratives


Book Description

In its twenty-five years of existence, Teach For America (TFA) has transformed from an organization based on a perceived need to ameliorate a national teacher shortage to an organization that seeks to systematically replace traditional fully-certified teachers while simultaneously producing alumni who are interested in facilitating neoliberal education reform through elected political positions. From its inception, TFA has had its share of critics; yet criticism of the organization by its own members and alumni has largely been silenced and relegated to the margins. This book - the first of its kind - provides alumni of TFA with the opportunity to share their insight on the organization. And perhaps more importantly, this collection of counter-narratives serves as a testament that many of the claims made by TFA are, in fact, myths that ultimately hurt teachers and students. No longer will alumni voices be silenced in the name of corporate and neoliberal education reform.







An Insider’s Guide to Academic Medicine


Book Description

This book serves as an insider's guide to careers in academic medicine. The author shares his 45 years of experience as a clinician, teacher, researcher, and administrator. His journey has often taken unpredictable turns and the book offers practical guidance to becoming a successful physician scientist in academic medicine, or to become a successful clinician affiliated with an academic medical center.

These sections and subsequent chapters are tied together by the scholarships of discovery, teaching, application, and integration.

New Perspectives on Intercultural Language Research and Teaching


Book Description
