Operation Big Flounder

By: Ronald Hickman

Ron Hickman always could tell a good story. With years of radio background Ron always brings out the vivid and colorful characters who make the headline news. Manny Silva is someone we have in our travels, a flawed person with a gruff manner who in the end knows what he really needs if not what he really wants-to-again be part of Tarpon Springs. Mr. Hickman blends it all into a good read based loosely on actual events in real locations. Only Ron could make 'Choo Choo' a person we all know in government work, a man with a public purpose and a kind of personal life worth retelling. Enjoy the book For those of us who have known Ron for years, he could just as well be sitting in his living room recounting this tale with all the embellishments that makes it so believable and enjoyable." Richard Clark, esq. Senior partner of Laddy, Clark & Ryan, Sparta, New Jersey ""OPERATION BIG FLOUNDER" tells a real tale stranger than fiction that could only happen in America. 'Manny Silva', a seemingly ordinary working man in broad daylight in his fish market in a busy tourist town skimmed millions off the top over several years. But then again, like the song 'How deep is the ocean?' nobody knows how many fish are in the sea. Ron Hickman tells a fascinating story that takes place in Tarpon Springs, Florida, intertwining fact with a fictional, sizzling love affair between Nikki, a local Greek Goddess, and 'Choo Choo, ' an IRS undercover investigator. You'll be hooked from the start " Les Carpenter, Musician and Composer of "The Charm of Newport

Schooling Corporate Citizens

How Accountability Reform has Damaged Civic Education and Undermined Democracy

By: Ronald W. Evans

Schooling Corporate Citizens examines the full history of accountability reform in the United States from its origins in the 1970s and 1980s to the development of the Common Core in recent years. Based in extensive archival research, it traces the origins and development of accountability reform as marked by key government- and business-led reports—from A Nation at Risk to No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top. By using the lens of social studies and civic education as a means to understand the concrete impacts of accountability reforms on schools, Evans shows how reformers have applied principles of business management to schools in extreme ways, damaging civic education and undermining democratic learning. The first full-length narrative account of accountability reform and its impact on social studies and civic education, Schooling Corporate Citizens offers crucial insights to the ongoing process of American school reform, shedding light on its dilemmas and possibilities, and allowing for thoughtful consideration of future reform efforts.

Strategies for Work With Involuntary Clients

By: Ronald H. Rooney

Involuntary clients are required to see a professional, such as juveniles on probation, or are pressured to seek help, such as alcoholics threatened with the desertion of a spouse. For close to two decades, Strategies for Work with Involuntary Clients has led in its honest analysis of the involuntary transaction, suggesting the kind of effective legal and ethical intervention that can lead to more cooperative encounters, successful contracts, and less burnout on both sides of the treatment relationship. For this second edition, Ronald H. Rooney has invited experts to address recent theories and provide new information on the best practices for specific populations and settings. He also adds practical examples and questions to each chapter to better facilitate the involvement of students and readers, plus a section on motivational interviewing.

Fear and Schooling

Understanding the Troubled History of Progressive Education

By: Ronald Evans

By exploring the tensions, impacts, and origins of major controversies relating to schooling and curricula since the early twentieth century, this insightful text illustrates how fear has played a key role in steering the development of education in the United States. Through rigorous historical investigation, Evans demonstrates how numerous public disputes over specific curricular content have been driven by broader societal hopes and fears. Illustrating how the population’s concerns have been historically projected onto American schooling, the text posits educational debate and controversy as a means by which we struggle over changing anxieties and competing visions of the future, and in doing so, limit influence of key progressive initiatives. Episodes examined include the Rugg textbook controversy, the 1950s "crisis" over progressive education, the MACOS dispute, conservative restoration, culture war battles, and corporate school reform. In examining specific periods of intense controversy, and drawing on previously untapped archival sources, the author identifies patterns and discontinuities and explains the origins, development, and results of each case. Ultimately, this volume powerfully reveals the danger that fear-based controversies pose to hopes for democratic education. This informative and insightful text will be of interest to graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and academics in the fields of educational reform, history of education, curriculum studies, and sociology of education.

Trailways to Creative Preaching

By: Ronald J. Allen

Sermon Treks offers preachers and students an invigorating selection of new sermon-planning trails, for use as sermon series or for single sermons. The options presented here are practical and theologically responsible. Some are rooted in ancient forms of proclamation; others are new.

The Tragedy of American School Reform

How Curriculum Politics and Entrenched Dilemmas Have Diverted Us from Democracy

By: Ronald W. Evans

Two persistent dilemmas haunt school reform: curriculum politics and classroom constancy. Both undermined the 1960s' new social studies, a dynamic reform movement centered on inquiry, issues, and social activism. Dramatic academic freedom controversies ended reform and led to a conservative restoration. On one side were teachers and curriculum developers; on the other, conservative activists determined to undo the revolutions of the 1960s. The episode brought a return to traditional history, a turn away from questioning, and the re-imposition of authority. Engagingly written and thoroughly researched, The Tragedy of American School Reform offers a provocative perspective on current trends.
