Beskrivning

Invested Stayers: How Teachers Thrive in Challenging Times features chapters co-authored by PK-12 teachers and postsecondary teacher educators from across the U.S. that reflect how they persist, remain, and thrive in the teaching profession. Premised on the idea that co-authors are colleagues and mentors to each other, this book conceptualizes contributors as invested stayers in the education profession.Chapters feature how particular catalysts, or landmark changes in education, have been productive sites for growth, agency, and even resistance across the arc of contributors’ professional lives. The book recognizes that teacher educators and teachers persist because of multiple and overlapping factors between our professional and personal lives, including the relationships we develop with each other as colleagues and mentors in our professional learning. In the public sphere, PK-12 educators increasingly face challenges that limit their ability to initiate their own professional learning. In this book, we considered what might occur if educators had space and time to write together and reflect on how they’ve persisted. These authors narrate themselves as invested stayers who invite personal and professional growth through inquiry, creativity, and innovation.

Recensioner i media

Invested Stayers, edited by Rodriquez (College of St. Benedict and St. John’s Univ.), Hallman (Univ. of Kansas), and Pastore-Capuana (Buffalo State College, SUNY), examines three landscapes (social, political, and discipline-specific) through the lens of multiple teachers and university faculty to provide a variety of examples of why teachers stay in education. The text does not provide a central list of ideas that one can apply to his or her specific context; however, themes emerge throughout. One is the idea of mutual benefit for the mentor and mentee and how their roles can shift over time. A second theme focuses on teachers empowered to make change, whether for a particular population of students (e.g., emergent bilingual) or against a system of injustice. A third theme considers creating relationships to mitigate a sense of isolation. . . the individual chapters can be read independently, and the literature that supports the research is excellent. Overall, this is an interesting examination of how teachers can thrive in challenging times prior to the impact of COVID-19 and could be helpful for teacher education programs. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
