The rise of uncertified teachers and emerging impacts on educational leadership
Teacher shortages and staffing challenges are major concerns for educational leaders globally. For example, in several countries, population growth expands the demand for teachers; while concurrently, teachers are leaving the profession due to heavy workload, perceived lack of respect, and low morale ( Durden, 2023 ). This leaves head teachers, principals, and other educational leaders in vulnerable positions as they work to meet the needs of stu…
Glancing back and looking forward
The Handbook of Research on Teachers of Color and Indigenous Teachers charts the landscape of the educator diversity research base by focusing on 11 domains of inquiry. Policy, one of the domains of inquiry in the Handbook, is instrumental for advancing educator diversity. This paper is anchored in the lessons from the policy domain, and extends this scholarship by briefly synthesizing the historical origins of educator diversity policies, and ex…
The rise of for-profit teacher preparation programmes
The increased privatisation of educational systems is a global trend with several important implications for teachers’ preparation and workforce outcomes. With many countries facing teacher shortages, retention for novice teachers is a key area of focus for educational leaders and policymakers – yet there is a lack of evidence related to the relationship between new alternative pathways into the profession and retention patterns. In this paper, w…
Racialized teacher tracking
Teaching close to home
Persistence Despite Structural Barriers
Research suggests that work environments are associated with turnover patterns for teachers of Color. This study investigates variation in work environments using longitudinal administrative data from 20 large urban and suburban K-12 school districts. Results indicate that teachers of Color are more often employed in “hard-to-staff” work environments compared to their White colleagues. Despite this, findings demonstrate high relative levels of te…
Rethinking the educational ecology in the wake of Covid
In this conceptual article, the authors examine changes to the United States educational ecology during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article draws on contemporary and historical research to critique how K–12 school policies and educational leadership decisions are made amidst a crisis. As schools and districts continue to navigate a shifting educational context, teachers are often left out of the discussion. The authors set out to argue that teach…
Innovation to what end? Exploring the dynamic landscape of Texas teacher preparation pathways
The teacher education and preparation marketplace is a complex mix of traditional and alternative programs. Though prior studies have identified a great deal of variation across these programs, an analysis of innovation has been limited. Drawing on theories of organizational innovation, and specifically, dimensions of innovation related to organizational structure, processes, and outcomes, we conduct an exploratory study of innovation in Texas’ t…
Fixing the Terms of Statelessness - Again
A decade ago the political geographer John Agnew developed in the book Place and Politics (1987a) a provocative theory of place in the social sciences. Drawing empirical material from the electoral geography of both the United States and Scotland, Agnew sought to elevate place into a fundamental social science concept. This task, ambitiously and creatively undertaken and supported by careful political analysis of the two nations, was Agnew's effo…
