Throughout the 20th century, grade-school teachers were trained in schools of education where progressive theories largely held sway and were licensed by state bureaucracies philosophically compatible with the education schools. Vested education interests now seek to make the monopoly even more controlling by requiring that all teachers be products of education schools accredited by a single national agency dedicated to progressive ideals.Holland proposes an alternative vision compatible with the emerging 21st-century paradigm of a competitive education industry: Lower unnecessary barriers to teaching so that bright persons of diverse background and disposition can become teachers. Set up an alternative track—as in New Jersey—so that bright liberal arts graduates or persons with valuable real-world experience can be hired as teachers and put under the supervision of experienced mentors. Apply value-added assessment—as in Tennessee—to these new teachers, and to veteran teachers as well, so that principals can see how much each teacher has helped each child progress academically—or not—from school year to school year. Holland's plan to break up the teacher-prep monopoly is bound to be controversial, and, as such, should be of great interest to all—from parents and administrators to teachers and policy makers—concerned with improving the state of American education.
Holland proposes breaking up the teacher-preparation monopoly and replacing it with a market-based approach that would allow school principals to hire knowledgeable candidates who have not necessarily been through the education-school mill. Mentoring and value-added assessment would ensure children benefit from the highest quality teaching.Throughout the 20th century, grade-school teachers were trained in schools of education where progressive theories largely held sway and were licensed by state bureaucracies philosophically compatible with the education schools.

I denne boken har 19 forfattere/skribenter fått i oppgave å skrive om sin beste låt. De fikk ingen genrebegrensninger på låtvalg eller på skrivemåte. Tanken bak var at om man er begeistret for noe, og skriver om det, så blir det god litteratur. Lars Saabye Christensen, Gunnhild Øyehaug, Stig Sæterbakken, Vigdis Hjorth, Harald Rosenløw Eeg, Ingeborg Arvola, Jan Omdahl, Ragnar Hovland, Pedro Carmona-Alvarez, Torgrim Eggen, Ronnie M.A.G. Larsen, Selma Lønning Aarø, Frode Grytten, Nils-Øivind Haagensen, Tommy Olsson, Zofies verden, Agnes Ravatn, Sturmgeist, Jo Nesbø. Noen skriver om låter de alltid har elsket, andre skriver seg bort fra en opplagt forelskelse og til en annen låt da låtvalgets kvaler er umulige, noen skriver om den låten som liksom aldri slapp taket da den satte ett eller annet i sving i barn- eller ungdommen - om det så var en stor kjærlighet, en sorg eller en traumatisk opplevelse, bare en har valgt en låt fra 2000-tallet, og noen skriver om den beste låten rent musikkfaglig. Noen skriver langt, andre kort. For, gir man gode forfattere i oppgave å skrive om noe som gjør dem begeistret, ja da blir det bra!
Bette Davis was not only one of Hollywood’s brightest stars, but also one of its most outspoken advocates on matters of race. In Bette Davis Black and White, Julia A. Stern explores this largely untold facet of Davis’s brilliant career. Bette Davis Black and White analyzes four of Davis’s best-known pictures—Jezebel (1938), The Little Foxes (1941), In This Our Life (1942), and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)—against the history of American race relations. Stern also weaves in memories of her own experiences as a young viewer, coming into racial consciousness watching Davis’s films on television in an all-white suburb of Chicago. Davis’s egalitarian politics and unique collaborations with her Black costars offer Stern a window into midcentury American racial fantasy and the efforts of Black performers to disrupt it. This book incorporates testimony from Davis’s Black contemporaries, including James Baldwin and C. L. R. James, as well as the African American fans who penned letters to Warner Brothers praising Davis’s work. A unique combination of history, star study, and memoir, Bette Davis Black and White allows us to contemplate cross-racial spectatorship in new ways.

Once grande dames of Hollywood, by 1962 arch-rivals Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were in danger of becoming has-beens. Then an opportunity came along: to appear together in a new movie called Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?-2 women
Balanced and hugely readable, Bette David tells the complete story of one of the most enduringly popular movie stars.
The story of these duelling divas is by turns hilarious, monstrous and tragic. This account is exhaustive, explosive and unsparing, and our reissue includes a special update from the author.
Bette Davis, whose career spanned almost 50 years and covered theatre, radio, TV and motion pictures, was at one time the first lady of the big screen. Working with such storied performers as Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, and Joan Crawford, and directors Edmund Goulding, William Wyler and Robert Aldrich, Bette Davis provided some of the most memorable performances in movie history. This volume contains detailed analyses of Bette Davis' top twelve films spanning 1938 to 1987 and including The Letter, All About Eve, The Little Foxes, Jezebel, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and The Whales of August. Each film is discussed in depth, with an examination of its script, direction, camerawork and performances, particularly as they relate to Davis's work. A second group of films, memorable largely for Davis's performance rather than the overall success of the work, are also examined. Special emphasis is placed on the way Davis viewed her own work as well as the detrimental effect her devotion to her career had on her personal life. Appendices contain a list of her marriages and children; her Oscar nominations; a discussion of Davis's missed opportunities; and a partial chronology of her films.

Well, if you're Bette Dowdell, you crank up your "Oh, Yeah " attitude and start researching your way out of the ditch. It's fortunate she likes research, because it took her years to get to the root causes. Along the way, she learned many things, such as: -Most of what we "know" about diet and health is wrong-a huge cause of disease. -If we want to be healthy, we have to take responsibility for our health. There's no way doctors can know what's going on in our bodies every day, all day. Even frequent trips to doctors don't get the results "live in" management does. -Everything affects everything else in health. The problem is never just, say, the thyroid-or the heart, or some other body part. It's about supporting the entire body with the nutrition it needs-which is different from what we're taught. Nowadays, Dowdell shares her learning so others can recover their health, too. In Help, Bette Answers to Health Questions from Hurting People, she talks to everyday people whose health is dragging them down. The questions include: -Thyroid problems -Cholesterol -Acid Reflux -Prostate problems -IBS: Irritable bowel syndrome -Dry eye -Etc.
