This study examined the differences in teacher racial ideology among white teachers in urban, suburban, and rural areas. This study advances the scholarship on the ideological frames used by teachers in urban, suburban, and rural areas through an examination of the differences in teachers’ discourse and racial ideology. Using contact theory, this study employed interviews to examine teachers’ discourse related to racial inequality in education to determine whether there were similarities in teacher discourse within and across urban, suburban, and rural areas with differing racial compositions. Interviews were conducted with 42 teachers in urban, suburban, and rural school districts during the 2014-2015 school year. There were three major findings in this study. First, four original frames of color-conscious racial ideology were present in data across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Second, teachers across all areas employ the systemic responsibility frame to talk about the achievement gap, and the cultural racism frame to talk about increased violence in urban areas, revealing that teachers frame some topics similarly across areas of differing racial composition. Third, analysis of teacher racial ideologies using the eight frames of color-conscious and color-blind racial ideology reveal that teachers within Lincoln City, Gresham, and Arcadia employ specific frames within each area to talk about racial inequality in education. Further, teachers in Lincoln City and Gresham framed racial inequality in education more consistently using color-conscious frames than teachers in Arcadia, indicating that contact with outgroup members also shapes teacher racial ideology.

This qualitative study investigated four rural Kansas high school agriculture teachers’ comprehension and implementation of self-regulation strategies in their own professional growth and in their instructional practice. Each participant was interviewed three times, using symbolic interactionism as the methodological framework and the Seidman technique of interviewing. The participants included two males and two females, each one having between five and 20 years of teaching experience. Three questions guided this study: (1) how do rural Kansas high school agriculture teachers make meaning of self-regulation and the processes needed to facilitate self-regulation, (2) in what ways do teachers self-regulate for their own professional growth purposes, and (3) what strategies do teachers use to foster self-regulation in their students? Findings suggest while participants described utilizing strategies that are associated with self-regulated learning, they have an incomplete understanding of self-regulated learning and they most closely associated it with effort and motivation. The perceived incomplete understanding may be attributable in part to a lack of formal training in metacognitive processes. Nevertheless, when participants perceived value in professional development, they described consciously using self-regulated learning strategies such as seeking assistance, self-evaluation, and self-monitoring, which all indicate participants utilize components of self-regulation to grow professionally. However, even though participants described utilizing all three phases of self-regulation processes to affect growth in their own careers, there was a disconnect when participants described how they try to facilitate these processes within their students. Participants often described attempting to foster growth in self-regulation among students by targeting motivation-oriented behaviors, instead of targeting the underlying cognitive ability to utilize self-regulation processes. Implications for practice are presented, including the possible need for further education concerning self-regulated learning in order to produce pedagogical content knowledge in self-regulation processes. Instruction connecting the three phases of the self-regulation model could assist agricultural educators with forming a more complete understanding of self-regulated learning. Recommendations for future research are discussed including investigating effective teaching strategies for delivering self-regulation instruction to teachers, as well as investigating the possible impact self-regulation instruction has on various attributes of teachers and students, such as self-efficacy and career orientation.

Full textThis qualitative study reviewed reasons so few Hispanic/Latino teachers remain employed with rural county public elementary schools. The study evaluated issues that present high retention and attrition concerns for Hispanic/Latino teachers in rural schools. In addition, the dissertation offered suggestions on ways to increase the representation of Hispanic/Latino teachers in rural elementary schools. The results of the study included lack of resources, lack of support, teacher isolation, heavy work load, and residency issues as barriers to Hispanic/Latino teachers’ retention in rural school communities. Suggestions to mediate the barrier included improving school leadership, utilizing alternative funding sources, such as grants, promoting collaboration through Professional Learning Communities, developing diversity programs, and teachers evaluating their professional and personal goals.

Full textRecruitment and retention of special education teachers is growing concern nationwide. This problem is especially acute amongst teachers of the deaf/hard of hearing in rural areas. Mentoring of novice teachers may be a solution to this problem; however, little research exists regarding the use of mentorship in deaf education. This qualitative case study explored the nature of the mentor/mentee relationship between novice teachers of the deaf and their mentors in rural areas. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with three dyads of mentors and mentees. An open coding inductive qualitative data analysis revealed five themes characterizing the relationship. Results further indicate that these teachers describe the relationship through descriptors that are unique to either the mentor or the mentee, complimentary to each party, and shared between both parties. Implications of these findings for current practice in the field of deaf education are discussed.
