Next, my wife, Amy, thank you. I wanted to give up so many times, but you would not allow me to; moreover, you loved me well through the process. Brionna, Bryan, Kim, and Virginia thank you for your support, laughter and conversation throughout the process, I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Friends, thank you for your love and support, and for listening to me complain and telling me I could do it. Bell family your support was crucial and I hope to get more of that cake. Monty, without your encouragement and guidance I would have been lost (metaphorically and physically); I will miss our regular conversations on food, tech, and life.

  • Recruiting and Retaining Teachers for Richmond Publlc Schools: Partnership Efforts Jill Fox, Nora Alder, Harold Fitrer, and Alan Mcleod
    Recruiting and Retaining Teachers for Richmond Publlc Schools: Partnership Efforts Jill Fox, Nora Alder, Harold Fitrer, and Alan McLeod Abstratt Virginia Commonwealth University and the Richmond Public Schools have been frequent partners in education projects and initiatives over the past 30 years. Recent partnership efforts have focused on four issues specific to the needs of an urban school system: preparing teachers for work with students in high-needs urban classrooms, recruiting teachers, mentoring beginning teachers, and retaining successful, experienced teachers in these same classrooms. This paper describes school-university efforts around these issues and identifies the challenges still to be met. Located in the heart of Richmond, the School of Education at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) has a history of service to and partnership with the Richmond Public Schools (RPS). Over the past 35 years, VCU School of Education has shared faculty with RPS in joint appointments and collaborated in federally funded projects such as Cooperative Urban Teacher Education. Collaborative research projects have examined teacher roles and student learning, and together VCU and RPS educators have participated in training on school reform and consensus building. In 1990, VCU recommitted itself to involvement with and service to metropolitan Richmond by stating its goal to "use the urban environment as a laboratory for studying and developing new approaches to problems pertaining to the public and private sector" (VCU Mission and Goals Statement 1990). Within the School of Education, specifically the Division of Teacher Education, this mission focuses on the preparation of teachers for work in urban classrooms. This paper describes programs through which the VCU School of Education and RPS have collaborated, often joined by other partners in the university and community to recruit and retain teachers for urban classrooms.
