What is tenure? It is a policy which gives teachers a permanent
contract ensuring them a guarantee of employment like for life.
Tenured teachers cannot be fired unless for just cause such as
gross misconduct, or incompetence. Proponents of teacher tenure say
that it is good. They argue that tenure prevents teachers from
being fired for inappropriate reasons; tenure protects teachers
from false accusations; tenure reduces teacher anxiety and allows
them to become even better educators; properly used, tenure creates
an environment where teachers are encouraged to improve; and lastly
tenure protects good but veteran teachers from being fired for
being too expensive. Opponents of teacher tenure say that it is
bad. They argue that tenured teachers if they are ineffective are
often extremely difficult to dismiss; dismissing tenured teachers
takes a long time and is often extremely expensive; almost every
k-12 teacher receives tenure whether they have earned it or not;
and last but not least teacher tenure leads to complacency. The
purpose of the book is not to further debate the pros and cons of
teacher tenure. Rather it examines the critical elements to better
prepare teachers for the tenure application and the tenure decision
makers to make better informed evaluation. Teacher Tenure: An
Analysis of the Critical Elements begins with an unlikely
introduction of a story that uses rhetorical comparison of the shoe
experience to connote the wisdom of the teacher tenure process.
