Enhancing Educational Access Through Innovative Educator Preparation Pathways (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798369373385)

Various factors contribute to the growing crisis of teacher shortages, including declining enrollment in teacher preparation programs, increasing teacher attrition, and many teachers approaching retirement. School leaders retiring, transferring schools, or pursuing new opportunities within the education sector are not being replaced by qualified candidates. Furthermore, many school districts nationwide report principal vacancies and a severe need for more qualified applicants to replace them. Consequently, many educator preparation programs have developed transformational initiatives to recruit, prepare, and retain teachers in their partnering school districts. These programs are critical for alleviating the impact of teacher shortages on schools and students. Enhancing Educational Access Through Innovative Educator Preparation Pathways highlights some of these initiatives and their impact on the school systems. It demonstrates how these models can be implemented to help recruit and retain individuals interested in becoming teachers or school principals. Covering topics such as school-university partnerships, leadership pipelines, and teacher diversity, this book is an excellent resource for school principals, administrators, educators, human resource managers, business owners, researchers, academicians, and more.
