Diversifying the Teacher Workforce critically examines efforts to diversify the teaching force and narrow the demographic gap between who teaches and who populates U.S. classrooms. While the demographic gap is often invoked to provide a needed rationale for preparing all teachers, and especially White teachers, to work with students of color, it is far less often invoked in an effort to examine why the teaching force remains predominantly White in the first place. Based on work the National Association for Multicultural Education is engaged in on this phenomenon, this edited collection brings together leading scholars to look closely at this problem. They examine why the teaching force is predominantly White from historical as well as contemporary perspectives, showcase and report available data on a variety of ways this problem is being tackled at the pre-service and teacher credentialing levels, and examine how a diverse and high-quality teaching force can be retained and thrive. This book is an essential resource for any educator interested in exploring race within the context of today’s urban schools.

"Diversifying the teaching force has become a priority in many migrant-receiving jurisdictions worldwide with the growing mismatch between the ethnic backgrounds, cultures, languages, and religions of teachers and those of students and families. Arguments for diversification tend to be couched in terms of disproportionate representation and students from minority backgrounds needing positive role models, yet research identifies other compelling reasons for diversification, including the fact that teachers of migrant backgrounds often possess outstanding qualifications when multilingualism and internationally obtained education and experience are taken into account, and the fact that all students, including majority-background students, benefit from a diversity of role models in schools. Nevertheless, the process of diversification is fraught with complexity. Depending on the context, systemic discrimination, an oversupply of teachers in the profession generally, and outdated hiring policies and practices can all impede efforts to diversify the teaching force.This volume comprises original research from Canada, the U.S., Germany, Ireland, Scotland, and England that problematizes issues of diversifying the teaching force and identifies promising practices. A foreword written by Charlene Bearhead of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation questions the very purpose of education in and for diverse societies. An introduction written by the editors defines key concepts and establishes a rationale for diversifying the teaching force in migrant-receiving contexts. Following this, key international scholars offer empirical perspectives using a range of methodologies and theories rooted in critical social science paradigms. The volume informs future research, programming, and policy development in this area."“/div>div

Teachers play a critical role in the success of their students, both academically and in regard to long term outcomes such as higher education participation and economic attainment. Expectations for teachers are increasing due to changing learning standards and a rapidly diversifying student population. At the same time, there are perceptions that the teaching workforce may be shifting toward a younger and less experienced demographic. These actual and perceived changes raise important questions about the ways teacher education may need to evolve in order to ensure that educators are able to meet the needs of students and provide them with classroom experiences that will put them on the path to future success. Changing Expectations for the K-12 Teacher Workforce: Policies, Preservice Education, Professional Development, and the Workplace explores the impact of the changing landscape of K-12 education and the potential for expansion of effective models, programs, and practices for teacher education. This report explores factors that contribute to understanding the current teacher workforce, changing expectations for teaching and learning, trends and developments in the teacher labor market, preservice teacher education, and opportunities for learning in the workplace and in-service professional development.

Schools in the U.S. are currently experiencing a general teacher shortage, as well as a shortage of teachers of color. As the student population continues to diversify, the lack of diversity within the teacher workforce has a negative impact on students of color, both academically and socioemotionally. This thesis examines the role of university-based teacher education programs in preparing a more diverse and culturally sustaining teacher workforce. It uses the framework of critical race theory to examine primary and secondary literature relevant to this issue. Discourse analysis of a policy document addressing the role of teacher education programs in diversifying the teacher workforce is also conducted using the framework of critical race theory. This discourse analysis examines how the language used by the Department of Education relates to the sociopolitical and historical contexts of neoliberalism and teacher education. This thesis puts the role of teacher education programs in conversation with larger political forces which create and perpetuate the inequities associated with the lack of diversity of the teacher workforce nationally. It presents pedagogical and policy-based solutions within teacher education such as culturally sustaining pedagogies and more equitable accountability measures, and argues that broader support must be provided by policymakers in order to create significant and enduring change.

Over the past 20 years, alternative certification for teachers has emerged as a major avenue of teacher preparation. The proliferation of new pathways has spurred heated debate over how best to recruit, prepare, and support qualified teachers. Drawing on the work of leading scholars, Alternative Routes to Teaching provides a thorough and dispassionate review of the research evidence on alternative certification. It takes readers beyond the simple dichotomies that have characterized the debate over alternative certification, encourages them to look carefully at the trade-offs implicit in any route into teaching, and suggests ways to "marry" the proven strengths of both traditional and alternative approaches. "Alternative Routes to Teaching is a timely, thoughtful book about one of the most pressing and controversial problems in American education today. This volume brings new and much-needed sophistication to ongoing debates about teacher preparation." -- Marilyn Cochran-Smith, Professor of Education, John E. Cawthorne Millennium Chair in Teacher Education for Urban Schools, and Director of the Doctoral Program in Curriculum and Instruction, Lynch School of Education, Boston College "A better book on this subject could not have been written. Alternative Routes to Teaching is a must-read for everyone involved in planning for the future of teaching." -- Emily Feistritzer, President and CEO, National Center for Education Information, National Center for Alternative Certification "At a time when the education of teachers is undergoing tectonic shifts, this work by Grossman, Loeb, and their colleagues represents an invaluable contribution. They introduce evidence where empty rhetoric has reigned and offer prudent evaluations of the available data to inform a policy debate dominated by ideology." -- Lee S. Shulman, President, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education Emeritus, Stanford University Pam Grossman is a professor of education at Stanford University. Susanna Loeb is an associate professor of education at Stanford University and director of the Institute for Research on Educational Policy and Practice.
