Professionalising teaching and combating teacher shortages
Maryland’s persistent teacher shortage, despite decades of professionalisation efforts, highlights the complexity of staffing public schools in the state. At the beginning of the 2022–2023 school year, Maryland reported over 2,000 teacher vacancies, with shortages most pronounced in high-demand areas such as special education, STEM, and world languages, particularly in rural and urban schools. Factors like high turnovers, increasing retirements, …
The Intersection of Policy, Reform, and Teacher Education
For over a decade, teacher education has been at the crosshairs of educational reform and policy mandates. At the conclusion of a report on the impact of the Holmes Group in the late 1990s, Fullan, Galluzzo, Morris, and Watson (1998) wrote, Never before has teacher education experienced such a massive outpouring of political and fiscal (p. 68). If teacher education was experiencing an outpouring of political and fiscal action in the late 1990s, t…
Using Collaborative Teacher Research to Determine the Impact of Professional Development School Activities on Elementary Students' Math and Writing Outcomes
As a result of the emphasis on professional development schools (PDSs) in teacher education over the past decade, numerous theoretical articles, process descriptions, and research reports provide considerable information about the nature and impact of school-university partnerships (Abdal-Haaq, 1998; Book, 1996). Several articles outline the perceived benefits for school and university faculty of participation in joint inquiry (e.g., Darling-Hamm…

The authors describe and compare three models of school university partnerships in relation to factors that may affect the balance of reflectivity and activity needed for successful collaboration. They suggest that comparison, analysis, and evaluation of such models may provide guidelines for resolving the ref…
