Waddell, Jennifer – Issues in Teacher Education, 2011
The racial/ethnic populations in public schools have changed dramatically in recent years and will continue to shift to a majority non-White population.

Costigan, Arthur T. – Teacher Education Quarterly, 2008
Many new teachers in urban settings understand that the ways in which they are required to teach stem from local implementation of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), entitled "No Child Left Behind" (NCLB). Unfortunately, they find the legislation confusing, the implementations baffling, and the effect on the practicing…

Abdallah, Mahmoud Mohammad Sayed – Online Submission, 2009
The article suggests that though narrative inquiry as a research methodology entails free conversations and personal stories, yet it should not be totally free and fictional as it has to conform to some recognized standards used for conducting educational research. Hence, a qualitative study conducted by Russ (1999) was explored as an exemplar…

This study compared the school climate of two elementary schools, one urban and one suburban, by measuring 179 fourth and fifth grade students' and 65…

Young, I. Phillip; Forbes, John D. – Journal of School Public Relations, 2008
A concern of the public and of local school districts is that of staffing well-qualified teachers for the education of America's youth. Staffing, however, is a multistage process that involves attracting a viable candidate pool and retraining those selected. To determine if attraction and retention are sequential or related administrative…

Marcos, Teri – Journal of Urban Learning, Teaching, and Research, 2008
The purpose of this study was to examine urban teachers' identified strengths in varied cognitive, affective, and psychological capacities, and their impact on self-efficacy and teacher practices.

Duncan, Marlina N. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Urban districts suffer from a severe shortage of qualified science teachers. Therefore, many new science teachers will need to take positions in urban districts with little or no exposure to urban communities. As a result, prospective teachers find it difficult to learn how to negotiate the cultural contexts of urban teaching. Consequently, it is…
