About The Nexus Of Teaching And Demographics: Context And
Product Description The Nexus of Teaching and Demographics: Context and Connections from Colonial Times to Today provides an overview of the evolution of education in the United States within the context of teacher preparation and demographics. Boyd Bradbury argues that the key to equitable education for all, including marginalized and underserved populations, is the nexus of teaching and demographics. Bradbury examines the history of education in the U.S., the relationship between minorities and education, the current state of teacher preparation, supply, and demand, and the potential impact of pedagogical dissonance, resilience, and best practices can have on creating diverse educational settings. Review In The Nexus of Teaching and Demographics: Context and Connections from Colonial Times to Today, Boyd Bradbury provides valuable background information on a variety of topics that impact the educational climate that exists in contemporary public schools. This book not only provides indispensable knowledge about the history of public education in the United States, but also strengthens the capacity to better understand the changing demographics and racial diversity that influence how one teaches and how schools and districts function. This book is a must read for any aspiring or current teacher as well as any school administrator ready to appreciate how equity will play a role in shaping the 21st century educational scene. -- Michael Coquyt, Minnesota State University Moorhead Bradbury’s book will be transformative for teaching educational foundations to our future educators. He addresses the history of education in the U.S. from a systemic viewpoint, while making a case to redesign our schools for a more equitable education for all children. His thorough examination of our past, acknowledgement of our present, and his ideas for changing the future will educate and motivate every reader. Each topic in this book is crucial to the redesign of our K-12 schools from the history of American education, recent demographic trends, and the dynamics of cultural diversity. The text is written for all educators and teacher educators, but will have a profound impact on our novice, preservice teachers. This book will be instrumental in guiding new teachers towards creating equitable classrooms and pushing for systemic change in U.S. education. -- Kristen Carlson, St. Cloud State University About the Author Boyd Bradbury is professor of curriculum and instruction and educational leadership at Minnesota State University Moorhead.
