- W249959696 abstract "This paper analyzes current policy and practice relating to the preparation and selection of teachers for rural areas of Australia, and contrasts these to perceptions of rural teachers concerning the adequacy of their preservice preparation. Nine recent Australian national and state reports and policy statements were analyzed. National policy recognizes the uniqueness of Australian rural schools, and the need for specialized training for future rural teachers in such areas as rural culture and society, Aboriginal culture, climate, mechanisms for adapting to local limited resources, and multigrade teaching methods. By contrast, the pervasive attitude in state education department documents appears to assume no need for specialized training or selection practices for rural and isolated personnel. Interviews with representatives of state and regional teacher recruitment offices revealed no standard approach to selection of rural teachers and little effort to match appropriate skills with rural placements. In-depth structured interviews were conducted with 24 teachers newly appointed to small communities in outback regions of Queensland. Most had requested rural placement. Half were in one-teacher schools, and 79 percent were teaching three or more grade levels. Three-quarters of interviewees were dissatisfied with their preparation for rural teaching, and indicated the need for better training in multigrade classroom strategies and teaching methods, organization, student evaluation and placement, school administration, and dealing with the community.

TO THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC). This paper analyses current policy and practice relating to the preparation and selection of teachers for rural areas of Australia and contrasts these to the perceptions of rural teachers regarding the adequacy of their pre-service preparation. Based on research exploring the perceptions of teachers newly appointed to isolated rural schools in the western regions of Queensland, one of Australia's outback states, and an analysis of national and state policy contexts for teacher preparation, selection and employment for rural teaching, conclusions are drawn regarding both the need for specialised preparation programmes for rural teachers and the responsibility of education departments in the development of specific rural staffing policies and selection practices. The methodology used for this project incorporates a document analysis of national, state and regional policies which focus on the provision of teachers for rural education, interviews with teacher recruitment personnel in state and regional departments of education and a series of in-depth, structured interviews with teachers from small rural schools. Introduction Following an hiatus of more than a decade when both government and public attention was rarely focused upon the educational needs of rural communities in a formal and structured way, a flurry of recent state and national level reports have attempted to redress this neglect. Despite this renewed policy level activity however, it would appear that a recent analysis of training, staffing and selection practices across the country would indicate that little of this policy level concern has been translated into effective practice. In addition, data gathered from teachers newly appointed to rural communities raise concerns about a lack of preparedness for work in these areas." @default.
