Migrant Teachers
Author: Lora Bartlett
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674726340
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Migrant Teachers investigates an overlooked trend in U.S. public schools today: the growing reliance on teachers trained overseas, as federal mandates require K-12 schools to employ qualified teachers or risk funding cuts. A narrowly technocratic view of teachers as subject specialists has led districts to look abroad, Lora Bartlett asserts, resulting in transient teaching professionals with little opportunity to connect meaningfully with students. Highly recruited by inner-city school districts that struggle to attract educators, approximately 90,000 teachers from the Philippines, India, and other countries came to the United States between 2002 and 2008. From administrators' perspective, these instructors are excellent employees--well educated and able to teach subjects like math, science, and special education where teachers are in short supply. Despite the additional recruitment of qualified teachers, American schools are failing to reap the possible benefits of the global labor market. Bartlett shows how the framing of these recruited teachers as stopgap, low-status workers cultivates a high-turnover, low-investment workforce that undermines the conditions needed for good teaching and learning. Bartlett calls on schools to provide better support to both overseas-trained teachers and their American counterparts.

Foreign Teachers
Author: Sam Wade

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Westerners Andy Dutton and Danny Cole teach English at Luxury Gardens International School in China. Despite being unqualified as teachers, they earn relatively high salaries, and enjoy lives of privilege and indulgence, traveling Southeast Asia, drinking excessively and visiting brothels. Meanwhile, the school principal, Peter Li, is busy trying to build the school into one with an elite global reputation. His plan involves getting the school accredited by the International Diploma Organization. To meet accreditation requirements, he begins the process of replacing the likes of Andy and Danny with qualified professional teachers, like Glenn Whitman. Glenn, however, turns out to be troublesome. Praise for Foreign Teachers: "An original, intriguing premise that meanders. . . dissembling to a conclusion as satisfying as an 'All-American Ham and Cheese Sandwich' at a Michelin-starred restaurant with Chinese Characteristics." - Circus Reviews "The novel, like its cast of characters, is full of promise but ultimately delivers nothing of real substance. . . not even worth the paper it's printed on."- Democracy Maybe Later "This is why people don't read books anymore" - Fake New York Times "Ever wish you were on the Titanic? . . . Here's your chance. . . The story takes place on land yet somehow it feels like a sinking ship." - Vanity Ferris Wheel
