Book The Teacher exodus 3

There must be genuinely supportive efforts to reinvigorate adults to pursue teaching and bureaucrats must release teachers to work their skills There must be a reversal of the mindset that teachers are leaving education because education has left them One way to do this is for bureaucrats and education administrators to once again empower teachers to be the local arbiters of education for their classrooms The Teacher Exodus Reversing the Trend and Keeping Teachers in the ClassroomsThis book provides a much needed pro teacher perspective on many of the problems currently leading teachers to leave the profession The book concentrates mostly on the United States.

The Teacher Exodus Reversing the Trend and Keeping Teachers in the Classrooms is an authentic examination of many of the reasons public school teachers are leaving the profession It also takes a hard look at why students are no longer selecting teaching as their career choice American culture is at a tipping point and many politicians and bureaucrats are tinkering with culture through racial policies and social engineering in efforts to empower students rather than stem the tide of teacher attrition Teachers are frustrated by requirements to implement social and intervention programs that fall outside their training which limits the moral purpose they envisioned when they first entered the profession Across the nation teachers are feeling marginalized and impacted by policies handed down from above which actually elevate students over teachers Teachers sense their profession has been reduced to classroom monitoring and facilitating which they did not sign up for They are restricted in their classroom management and must employ a series of intervention strategies just to defend their actions of discipline If America is to reverse the trend of teachers leaving classrooms but its precepts can be applied to teachers in almost any country The author posits that teachers are not being supported by administrators or legislators and need training and support to address the growing problems of hostile students and parents By looking at problems from a teacher s point of view Dr Zarra offers a refreshing take on the issues facing teachers As a teacher himself he has likely seen or experienced many of these issues firsthand and he reassures teachers that violent attacks and verbal outbursts against them are not normal and should not be tolerated He asserts that administrators should be doing to support and nurture teachers Dr Zarra pulls no punches when describing the state of today s schools and what must be done to reverse the tide of teachers who are leaving the profession I think this book should be required reading for administrators and legislators because giving teachers the resources and support they need ends up benefiting not only the teachers but the students and community as well Instead of being blamed for everything teachers need to be assisted and encouraged for all of the efforts they put forth every day for our nation s children while often receiving criticism instead of respect from students administrators parents and bureaucrats Reading Dr Zarra s book would be a good way for administrators and legislators to better understand the difficult tasks facing today s teachers and explore some common sense ideas for improving our schools ebook.
