Pages : 625

Book Description
In the aftermath of the 2020-2022 pandemic, educators find themselves grappling with the decision to revert to traditional instructional methods or embrace the transformative power of 21st-century technologies. The swift integration of virtual classrooms, videoconferencing, and social media during the pandemic has left teachers navigating uncharted territory. Many, who once vehemently resisted technology, now stand on the precipice of a digital revolution in education. This dichotomy poses a pressing problem: a dearth of documented research and guidance for educators seeking to measure the true value of these technologies in the post-pandemic era. Exploring Technology-Infused Education in the Post-Pandemic Era, offers guidance and solutions to the challenges faced by educators. As teachers stand on the brink of a pivotal decision, the research community lags behind in providing the necessary insights to inform their choices. The questions loom large: What technologies emerged during the pandemic, and have they proven effective in the classroom? Can these innovations seamlessly coexist with traditional instructional methods? The void in documented research leaves educators in a quandary, lacking the evidence needed to make informed decisions about the integration of technology into their teaching practices. This critical gap impedes progress and hinders the unleashing of the full potential of 21st-century educational tools.

Pages : 281

Book Description
Co-published with Kappa Delta Pi, The Power of Teacher Leaders provides a comprehensive resource for understanding the ways that teacher leaders foster positive change in their schools. Distinct from school administrators, teacher leaders are professionals who remain in the classroom and use their specialized knowledge and skills to improve student achievement, influence others, and build organizational capacity. Written by leading educational researchers, each chapter of The Power of Teacher Leaders describes a different way that teachers are leading. Moving beyond the question of why teacher leaders are important and how such work is implemented, the contributing scholars to this collection offer a critical examination of the field by presenting original research, case studies, and programs in practice. Topics covered include how teachers become leaders, their wide-ranging leadership roles, and the effects of teacher leadership on student academic success and school communities. A cohesive edited collection, this book demonstrates how teacher leaders play an increasingly active role in the improvement of student learning, teacher professional development, and school climate.
