Growing up in Roanoke, Virginia, with dreams of becoming a pilot, Colonel James E.P. Randall was called to active duty during World War II in 1945. Following basic training, he was assigned to Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama, but his life took unexpected twists and turns as he eventually earned the coveted wings of a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot. In a career that spanned 31.5 years of adventure, Randall logged more than 7350 hours of flight over land and sea. He piloted aircraft across the Atlantic 8 times and across the Pacific an additional 8 times. He flew 75 combat missions in the F-51 Mustang over Korea and 44 combat missions over North Vietnam before being shot down over the outskirts of Hanoi in his F-105 Thunderchief. Airborne once again, he served as an F-111 test pilot, respected by engineers as well as his commanders. Accepted as a Tuskegee Airmen by the national organization, Randall was repeatedly recognized for his prowess as a pilot during his military career, but that was not the total measure of the man. He was also defined by his character and how he lived up to the high standards set by his parents--as a man, take on responsibility and be accountable; continue to educate yourself; be a good father; excel as a representative of your culture despite adversity. In an action-packed life full of both tragedy and triumph, Randall's inspiring story is one of commitment to family and country, duty and honor a Legacy of Valor.

Russia’s Dangerous Texts

Russia’s Dangerous Texts

Kathleen F. Parthé

Yale University Press
2005
sidottu
Russia’s Dangerous Texts examines the ways that writers and their works unnerved and irritated Russia’s authoritarian rulers both before and after the Revolution. Kathleen F. Parthé identifies ten historically powerful beliefs about literature and politics in Russia, which include a view of the artistic text as national territory, and the belief that writers must avoid all contact with the state.Parthé offers a compelling analysis of the power of Russian literature to shape national identity despite sustained efforts to silence authors deemed subversive. No amount of repression could prevent the production, distribution, and discussion of texts outside official channels. Along with tragic stories of lost manuscripts and persecuted writers, there is ample evidence of an unbroken thread of political discourse through art. The book concludes with a consideration of the impact of two centuries of dangerous texts on post-Soviet Russia.

From Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones

From Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones

Kathleen F. Slevin; C. Ray Wingrove

New York University Press
1998
pokkari
Whether in popular culture, academic research, or public consciousness, African American women are often defined by their presumed poverty or lack of education. In this unique antidote to public perception, Kathleen F. Slevin and C. Ray Wingrove focus on the experiences of an unusual group of pioneers: one of the first generations of African American women to work as white-collar professionals, retire in considerable comfort, and remain actively and fruitfully involved, as older women, in their respective communities. Through the voices of these women, we come to understand the impact of social systems on individual lives and to appreciate how the legacies provided these women by their families, teachers, churches, and communities endowed them with the survival tools needed to succeed, despite the prejudice and "stumbling blocks" they encountered along the way. Slevin and Wingrove explore how the lessons of childhood–choosing battles, avoiding hurtful Whites, striving for economic independence, and projecting self-confidence and racial pride–translate to adulthood as they recount the ups and downs of being successful African American women. Kathleen F. Slevin is Associate Professor of Sociology at the College of William and Mary. C. Ray Wingrove is Professor of Sociology at the University of Richmond.

Teaching Unprepared Students

Teaching Unprepared Students

Kathleen F. Gabriel

Stylus Publishing
2008
nidottu
As societal expectations about attending college have grown, professors report increasing numbers of students who are unprepared for the rigors of postsecondary education—not just more students with learning disabilities (whose numbers have more than tripled), but students (with and without special admission status) who are academically at-risk because of inadequate reading, writing and study skills. This book provides professors and their graduate teaching assistants—those at the front line of interactions with students—with techniques and approaches they can use in class to help at-risk students raise their skills so that they can successfully complete their studies.The author shares proven practices that will not only engage all students in a class, but also create the conditions—while maintaining high standards and high expectations—to enable at-risk and under-prepared students to develop academically and graduate with good grades. The author also explains how to work effectively with academic support units on campus. Within the framework of identifying those students who need help, establishing a rapport with them, adopting inclusive teaching strategies, and offering appropriate guidance, the book presents the theory teachers will need, and effective classroom strategies. The author covers teaching philosophy and goals; issues of discipline and behavior; motivation and making expectations explicit; classroom climate and learning styles; developing time management and study skills; as well as the application of “universal design” strategies.The ideas presented here—that the author has successfully employed over many years—can be easily integrated into any class.

Creating the Path to Success in the Classroom

Creating the Path to Success in the Classroom

Kathleen F. Gabriel

Stylus Publishing
2018
sidottu
This is a book for all faculty who are concerned with promoting the persistence of all students whom they teach.Most recognize that faculty play a major role in student retention and success because they typically have more direct contact with students than others on campus. However, little attention has been paid to role of the faculty in this specific mission or to the corresponding characteristics of teaching, teacher-student interactions, and connection to student affairs activities that lead to students’ long-term engagement, to their academic success, and ultimately to graduation.At a time when the numbers of underrepresented students – working adults, minority, first-generation, low-income, and international students – is increasing, this book, a companion to her earlier Teaching Underprepared Students, addresses that lack of specific guidance by providing faculty with additional evidence-based instructional practices geared toward reaching all the students in their classrooms, including those from groups that traditionally have been the least successful, while maintaining high standards and expectations.Recognizing that there are no easy answers, Kathleen Gabriel offers faculty ideas that can be incorporated in, or modified to align with, faculty’s existing teaching methods. She covers topics such as creating a positive and inclusive course climate, fostering a community of learners, increasing engagement and students’ interactions, activating connections with culturally relevant material, reinforcing self-efficacy with growth mindset and mental toughness techniques, improving lectures by building in meaningful educational activities, designing reading and writing assignments for stimulating deep learning and critical thinking, and making grade and assessment choices that can promote learning.

First Things First

First Things First

Kingdom Christian Enterprises

pokkari
Revived over 25 years ago, Classical Christian Education (CCE) remains the fastest growing form of schooling in America. First Things First seeks to assist these non-profit schools and educators to stay on track with biblical and practical advice and helps them maintain or grow in excellence in their ministry to children, their families, and their churches. The book's thesis is "To avoid running off the rails, classical Christian schools need to recognize, quickly identify, and act upon red flags." Twelve chapters represent each constituent of a school together at a round table. Each chapter depicts one of these constituents: your school's vision, your school's culture in the midst of secular culture, your school's board, administrators, faculty & staff, curriculum, parents, students, feeder churches, community, volunteers, and alumni & donors. Through interviews and case studies, each chapter delves into healthy schools' practices to keep first things first, common red flags that indicate possible trouble ahead, trends to track, and a spectrum of strategies and suggestions from master educators, as well as reflective questions for individuals and groups. Throughout, Christ is central.

Advocating Heightened Education

Advocating Heightened Education

Kathleen F. McConnell

Rowman Littlefield
2020
sidottu
Colleges and universities face unprecedented pressure to streamline and reduce their infrastructure. A new generation of reformers, frustrated by bureaucratic obstacles and rising costs, dream of education without schools. Those reforms, if realized, promise to render education indistinguishable from other social spheres. Advocating Heightened Education mobilizes situated theories of learning to advocate the labor and expense that goes into maintaining campuses. Higher education’s bulky and incommensurable institutions—from the community colleges and Ivy Leagues to the regional public universities and small liberal arts campuses—serve a critical modality. They ensure that educational forms remain visible and available for critique. Their diversity of form retains the possibility of divergent and transformative educational futures. This ethnographic and archival study of two alternative campuses, The Evergreen State College and California State University, Monterey Bay, illustrates how educators advocate their work by heightening its visibility and by modeling appreciation for situated teaching and inquiry. It provides examples of those advocacy techniques with stories of professional life and close readings of historical documents that include institutional and legislative reports, facilities memoranda, and course descriptions. These materials offer a vibrant counter-narrative to reform movements that seek to standardize the college experience. Scholars of higher education, pedagogy, and communication will find this book particularly interesting.

In 1935, Angus Bowmer, an instructor at Southern Oregon Normal School in Ashland, began with a dream and a small coterie of devoted friends who believed, as he did, in the value of Shakespeare performed on an Elizabethan stage. Though the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's early platforms were rudimentary and the backstage areas primitive, the art drew enthusiastic audiences. The urgency of World War II closed the festival's doors, but in 1947 it reopened with larger theater facilities and an expanded repertory, winning the support and respect of state, regional, and national artists and dignitaries. In a setting of extraordinary beauty and a community dedicated to culture and the arts, the 75-year-old Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) is among the largest and most influential professional regional theaters in North America.
