This is a collection of memoirs experienced over a span of 37 years of teaching and administering in a series of different environments. Each experience required not only a knowledge of past practice, but a vision of what was important to the growth and health of the setting in question and what would provide the strongest change process.
This memoir gives an account of the culture and events among teachers and administrators in a suburban elementary school. It is organized in three parts. The first is anecdotal background about educational experiences that influenced the author
This is a short pedagogical guide for preservice and in-service teachers and school administrators who care about school improvement. By "school improvement" I mean "student learning." Whether you are an educator in elementary, middle school, or high school, or a University professor, regardless of the subject you teach or want to teach, this book will help you become an effective teacher. If applied, the high-yield teaching strategies discussed in this pedagogical guide will help you increase student learning.
The objective of the book is to encourage human resources, recruitment, and especially leadership teams to review their current recruitment strategy and determine if it has negatively impacted the satisfaction of employees who have attempted to go through the internal recruitment process. The book allows the reader to identify a correlation between the recruitment process and the communication loop and how it can impinge on an employee's willingness to perform, show up to work, or commit to the organization's vision and mission. The book begs a couple of questions: -Will you be loyal to a company that will not promote you? -Will you show up to work every day and on time when your manager doesn't value you? -Will you have a positive attitude toward your work and employer if they don't care about you?

Monkfish is unhappy and scared about life in the Fishbowl. The game of Hide and Seek that every fish must play, doesn't work for Monkfish any longer. As his "seeking" time gets shorter and Monkfish begins to hide more, he notices a mean, unhappy voice in his head and names it his "Bad Story Voice". Searching for answers to his many questions about happiness, a journey of discovery and insight begins that completely changes life in the Fishbowl for Monkfish. As Monkfish learns and then practices how to "unhook" from the bad stories swallowed, he finally understands what true and real happiness is. And, most of all, what it's like to swim without fear.
"Girl with the Purple Ribbon" is an action/adventure story. But it's a love story, and we can always use another love story. It's a story where three childhood friends find themselves on separate sides of the Vietnam War. Coming of age in 1965, they learn that love, honor, and freedom cost more than they expect.In 1965, America fell from grace and into the labyrinth of the Vietnam War. Its sons came by the thousandths to fulfill President John F. Kennedy's pledge: "...pay any price to assure the survival of liberty." The children of the greatest generation would fulfill their birthright, and many would join him on the slopes of Arlington National Cemetery."Girl with the Purple Ribbon" is the story of Seamus O'Grady and Elijah Bravo, two hay-seed cowboys from the Texas Hill Country who dream of the nobility of battle and anticipate the day when it would be their turn. Seamus is a righteous boy and is driven by sensibilities defined by right and wrong. Elijah Bravo, the wild one, is half Comanche and half Mexican. Schooled in the ways of the tribal shamans his transcendental nature enables him to see a fifth dimension. The boys join the Marine Corps and follow the allusion of "saving countries." Eventually, they would learn, there was no light at the end of the tunnel and America did not bleed to help a friend. Regardless, they would stand up for what they believe, yet would struggle to find a reason to persevere amidst the chaos of the Vietnam War. The path they would follow will paint a colorful canvass that stretches from the rolling countryside of the Texas Hill Country, to the battled scares of Hill-861, Khe Sanh, the DMZ, and Hue City.Ofa Hawkins, known as Pretty Girl, the sexy side-kick of Seamus and Elijah is sassy, stubborn, and opinionated. She's a preacher's daughter, a scholar, and driven by Scripture she becomes the iconic symbol of the peace movement and wears a purple ribbon to show solidarity for the Vietnam dead and the futility of the war. The war dissolves their friendship, and with the boys off to war, Ofa attends college and eventually becomes a physician. Seamus had her heart, and she had his, but young love is tenuous. As a celebrated physician and peace activist, Ofa Hawkins gains national and international acclaim, but she falls into an abyss; there's a hole in her heart. Yet, there's something she must do. A fanatical mission Ofa Hawkins, girl with the purple ribbon Of course, she would go to Vietnam, and she'd go for blood. Under the guise of a physician on a medical mission she follows a circuitous path of mystery, intrigue, and playing on the sensibilities of men, she would search for that one reason worthy of death: love. "Girl with the Purple Ribbon" is a testament to Shakespeare's assertion of the nobility of the human condition: "what piece of work is man." Ofa Hawkins, Seamus O'Grady, and Elijah Bravo will answer Shakespeare's quest.Ofa Hawkins, the girl with the purple ribbon, would fight the last battle of the Vietnam War. Would she survive? No warrior, no pacifist, no member of the silent majority walked away from Vietnam unscathed.
