Book Description
The purpose of this study was to analyze motivational and demographic factors that influence pre-service teachers' decision to become teachers. The theoretical framework used in this study is the Factors Influencing Teaching Choice (Richardson & Watt, 2006), which is rooted in Expectancy Choice (Wigfield & Eccles, 2000) and Social Cognitive theories (Bandura, 1997). The results indicated that the motivational factors did not significantly influence respondents choices. The demographic factors, gender, ethnicity, type of program, and type of certification, were not significantly associated with motivational factors that influence pre-service teachers to choose teaching as a career. Findings suggest in terms of policy, changes to teacher preparation programs should be leveraged to prepare a diverse pool of social persuaders who will shape the future of the teaching profession. In terms of research, future and longitudinal studies which employ mixed methods are needed in order to explore further the motivational factors and the ongoing nature of these in pre-service teacher preparation and induction to the profession. In terms of practice, the teaching profession needs practitioners and teacher preparation programs to address and further develop increased social equity awareness among pre-service and new teachers. Teacher preparation programs and school districts are advised to design, provide, and upkeep appropriate support systems to help pre-service teachers and teachers new to the profession to successfully navigate and cope with the challenges of the 21st century, in their classrooms and for their P-12 students as world citizens.

Book Description
Fueled largely by significant increases in the Latino population, the racial, ethnic, and linguistic texture of the United States is changing rapidly. Nowhere is this 'Latinisation' of America more evident than in schools. The dramatic population growth among Latinos in the United States has not been accompanied by gains in academic achievement. Estimates suggest that approximately half of Latino students fail to complete high school, and few enroll in and complete college. The Latinization of U.S. Schools centres on the voices of Latino youth. It examines how the students themselves make meaning of the policies and practices within schools. The student voices expose an inequitable opportunity structure that results in depressed academic performance for many Latino youth. Each chapter concludes with empirically based recommendations for educators seeking to improve their practice with Latino youth, stemming from a multiyear participatory action research project conducted by Irizarry and the student contributors to the text.
