University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies Releases Whitepaper Outlining Concerns of Educators Transitioning Back to Classroom

Researcher evaluates pandemic impact and support needs for K-12 teachers

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies announces the release of a whitepaper exploring how K-12 teachers are rethinking their career options and questioning if the risks outweigh the benefits.

Analyzing findings from the University’s first annual Career Optimism Index™ study, the whitepaper, authored by Joy Taylor, Ed.D., a fellow of the Center for Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Research and associate faculty of the College of Doctoral Studies at University of Phoenix, seeks to outline the concerns that resonate with current and future educators as teachers transition back to the classroom full-time. The paper also investigates what educators need from school leaders to meet their physical and socio-emotional needs in the new pandemic “normal.”

“Educator concerns about pandemic, stress, and career trajectory as well as declining enrollment in teacher preparation plans emphasizes the need for a clear and comprehensive plan of action to address the evolving professional development requirements of current K-12 teachers and realignment of teacher preparation programs in order to meet these challenges moving forward,” states Taylor. “It is incumbent on school leaders to provide guidance and support to teachers as they learn to adapt their approaches to teaching and learning.”

Dr. Taylor has 36 years of experience as an elementary school teacher and principal, and currently serves as a dissertation chair and associate faculty within the College of Doctoral Studies.

The full whitepaper is available at the University of Phoenix Career InstituteTM webpage or as a direct link here.
