About this book
Advocacy for Educators: A Roadmap to Action argues that advocacy within teacher education is more critical now than ever due to increasing attacks on public education. The book, created by the ATE's Commission on Advocacy, emphasizes the urgent need for teacher educators to actively represent and address the needs of educators, students, and families at all levels-local, state, and federal. The text serves both as a call to action and a practical guide for developing effective advocacy plans tailored to specific educational concerns.
Emphasis on Grassroots Advocacy: The book highlights the power and effectiveness of grassroots advocacy, demonstrating how diverse and flexible approaches can unite various stakeholders in support of public education. This emphasis distinguishes it from other texts that may focus primarily on top-down policy advocacy.
Practical Guidance for Developing Advocacy Plans: The text goes beyond theory, offering practical, step-by-step guidance for creating effective advocacy plans. This hands-on approach equips teacher educators with actionable strategies to address specific educational concerns at local, state, and federal levels.A Call to Action for Teacher Educators: The book serves as both a motivational call to action and a comprehensive guide, urging teacher educators to actively participate in advocacy efforts. It reinforces the idea that advocacy is not optional but a professional responsibility.
Focus on Democratic Values and Community Engagement: Advocacy is framed not just as a professional duty but as a means of upholding democratic values and practices. The book encourages educators to engage with their communities, fostering a shared sense of responsibility in addressing the educational needs of students and families.Expert Insights from the ATE's Commission on Advocacy: Authored by experienced leaders within the Association of Teacher Educators (ATE), the book provides expert insights and credibility, drawing on the collective knowledge and experience of those deeply involved in educational advocacy.
Alignment with Contemporary Educational Challenges: The book addresses the increasing attacks on public education, making it particularly relevant in the current climate.
