| how to become a kindergarten teacher in texas: Resisting the Kinder-Race Christopher P. Brown, 2021 This book explores how the current process of schooling that frames public education through economic rather than democratic terms is fundamentally flawed, why it must change, and how all members and participants within the early childhood and elementary school communities must be a part of the reform process. The work is based on the author's recent studies of stakeholders' in the changed kindergarten as well as earlier studies examining the impact of reforms on classrooms, pre and in-service teachers, students, families, administrators, teacher educators, and other education stakeholders. By examining these issues empirically, practically, and theoretically, the author illuminates the complexity of what is currently occurring in kindergarten and other early childhood classrooms across the U.S. Then, Brown skillfully puts forward ideas for change that are practical and achievable in developing systems of schooling that can educate, foster, and sustain a democratic society-- |

| how to become a kindergarten teacher in texas: Benchmarks for Science Literacy American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1994-01-06 Published to glowing praise in 1990, Science for All Americans defined the science-literate American--describing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes all students should retain from their learning experience--and offered a series of recommendations for reforming our system of education in science, mathematics, and technology. Benchmarks for Science Literacy takes this one step further. Created in close consultation with a cross-section of American teachers, administrators, and scientists, Benchmarks elaborates on the recommendations to provide guidelines for what all students should know and be able to do in science, mathematics, and technology by the end of grades 2, 5, 8, and 12. These grade levels offer reasonable checkpoints for student progress toward science literacy, but do not suggest a rigid formula for teaching. Benchmarks is not a proposed curriculum, nor is it a plan for one: it is a tool educators can use as they design curricula that fit their student's needs and meet the goals first outlined in Science for All Americans. Far from pressing for a single educational program, Project 2061 advocates a reform strategy that will lead to more curriculum diversity than is common today. IBenchmarks emerged from the work of six diverse school-district teams who were asked to rethink the K-12 curriculum and outline alternative ways of achieving science literacy for all students. These teams based their work on published research and the continuing advice of prominent educators, as well as their own teaching experience. Focusing on the understanding and interconnection of key concepts rather than rote memorization of terms and isolated facts, Benchmarks advocates building a lasting understanding of science and related fields. In a culture increasingly pervaded by science, mathematics, and technology, science literacy require habits of mind that will enable citizens to understand the world around them, make some sense of new technologies as they emerge and grow, and deal sensibly with problems that involve evidence, numbers, patterns, logical arguments, and technology--as well as the relationship of these disciplines to the arts, humanities, and vocational sciences--making science literacy relevant to all students, regardless of their career paths. If Americans are to participate in a world shaped by modern science and mathematics, a world where technological know-how will offer the keys to economic and political stability in the twenty-first century, education in these areas must become one of the nation's highest priorities. Together with Science for All Americans, Benchmarks for Science Literacy offers a bold new agenda for the future of science education in this country, one that is certain to prepare our children for life in the twenty-first century. |

| how to become a kindergarten teacher in texas: Becoming Biliterate Bertha Perez, 2003-10-03 This book describes the development process and dynamics of change in the course of implementing a two-way bilingual immersion education program in two school communities. The focus is on the language and literacy learning of elementary-school students and on how it is influenced by parents, teachers, and policymakers. Pérez provides rich, highly detailed descriptions, both quantitative and qualitative, of the change process at the two schools involved, including student language and achievement data for five years of program implementation that were used to test the basic two-way bilingual theory, the specific school interventions, and the particular classroom instructional practices. The contribution of Becoming Biliterate: A Study of Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Education is to provide a comprehensive description of contextual and instructional factors that might help or hinder the attainment of successful literacy and student outcomes in both languages. The study has broad theoretical, policy, and practical instructional relevance for the many other U.S. school districts with large student populations of non-native speakers of English. This volume is highly relevant for researchers, teacher educators, and graduate students in bilingual and ESL education, language policy, linguistics, and language education, and as a text for master's- and doctoral-level classes in these areas. |
| how to become a kindergarten teacher in texas: The First Five Years of Teaching John McArthur, 1981 This report deals with the follow-up stage of a longitudinal study which examined socialization into teaching as reflected by teachers' attitudes towards the control of students. Preservice secondary school teachers were observed in their final year of training, and, in 1978, this five years later follow-up was conducted, investigating over half of the original sample. It was found that the initial year of teaching experience is clearly the most traumatic, and that the subsequent years tended to see a leveling out of attitudes towards students and teaching and an internalization of occupational values. This report provides information on: (1) the sample of beginning secondary school teachers; (2) career patterns of respondents to the 1978 survey; (3) use of student control ideology as an index of socialization into the occupation of teaching; (4) cross-sectional analyses of responses to the 1978 survey; (5) longitudinal analysis of responses from members of the 1978 sample who taught from 1973-1978 and comparisons with 1978 non-teaching group; and (6) a summary of followup interviews conducted (during 1979) with both teaching and non-teaching members of the 1978 sample. The research questionnaire, a bibliography, and several tables are included. (CJB) |
| how to become a kindergarten teacher in texas: Literacy Development in Early Childhood Beverly Otto, 2015-08-19 Written by an author with more than 25 years of experience in the emergent literacy field, this popular text provides a comprehensive overview of literacy development from infancy through the primary grades, emphasizing the role of oral language as a foundation for literacy, home–school connections, and cultural influences on literacy development.

Numerous vignettes and examples of teacher–child interactions demonstrate literacy scaffolding in an applied and authentic manner. Supports teachers in multicultural and urban settings. An emphasis on linguistic and cultural diversity—including an array of strategies for English language learners—provides today’s teachers with the knowledge to help all children succeed. |
| how to become a kindergarten teacher in texas: Culturally Relevant Pedagogy Gloria Ladson-Billings, 2021 For the first time, this volume provides a definitive collection of Gloria Ladson-Billings’ groundbreaking concept of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP). After repeatedly confronting deficit perspectives that asked, “What’s wrong with ‘those’ kids?”, Ladson-Billings decided to ask a different question, one that fundamentally shifted the way we think about teaching and learning. Noting that “those kids” usually meant Black students, she posed a new question: “What is right with Black students and what happens in classrooms where teachers, parents, and students get it right?” This compilation of Ladson-Billings’ published work on Culturally Relevant Pedagogy examines the theory, how it works in specific subject areas, and its role in teacher education. The final section looks toward the future, including what it means to re-mix CRP with youth culture such as hip hop. This one-of-a-kind collection can be used as an introduction to CRP and as a summary of the idea as it evolved over time, helping a new generation to see the possibilities that exist in teaching and learning for all students.
