Change in Schools

Facilitating the Process

By: Gene E. Hall,Shirley Hord

In 11 chapters, this book has been organized around the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM), a sophisticated way to understand the change process and how participants experience it. This model provides ways for practitioners and policymakers to label change process phenomena, to take positive action in facilitating change, and to predict effects. Chapters 1 and 2 provide an overview of CBAM and reviews literature on leadership for change. Chapters 3 and 4 concentrate on teacher perceptions of change and levels of innovation. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 discuss innovation configurations, incident interventions, and an intervention taxonomy. Chapters 8 and 9 classify and review change facilitators. Finally, chapters 10 and 11 evaluate CBAM via a case study and consider additional theory, practice, and research. (JAM)

Romances of the Republic

Women, the Family, and Violence in the Literature of the Early American Nation

By: Shirley Samuels

The politics of identity in the period of the early American republic involved the cultural production of a national self. In Romances of the Republic, Shirley Samuels examines revolutionary rhetoric from the 1790s through the 1850s primarily in novels, but also in poems, pamphlets, political cartoons, and sermons.

The Book of Luke

A Soldier's Story

By: Pat Shirley

The Book of Luke

A Soldier's Story

By: Pat Shirley

THE BOOK OF LUKE: A SOLDIERS STORY, first book in the Civil War trilogy OLD LONG TIME, follows my great-grandfather, Luke Munn, and his regiment, the 149th PA Volunteers, through The Battle of Gettysburg. A third person approach made it possible to add action elsewhere on the field and put the role of the 149th in context. Civil War novels usually have fictional heroes or center on officers or others who were or became prominent. In reading extensively on the period, I have found almost no others that focus on an ordinary soldier in the ranks who actually lived and fought in a specific battle. From census and military records and family stories, I have reconstructed Lukes personality and his life as a lumberman and soldier and a farmer trying to raise his family in a clearing in the woods. I have defined him not only as an individual but also in terms of his antecedents and descendants. I have alternated the battle chapters with a first-person narrator from each generation of Lukes family who tells about and relates to Luke. In starting with his grandmother, Molly Wolcott Munn, I have traced the family lineage back to 1630 when Henry Wolcott came to America. As the family has been in America for so long and as Mollys branch of it has been quite ordinary as compared to the Wolcott cousins who became governors of Connecticut, I feel that it is Everymans or every Americans story as well as Lukes. The book emphasizes ethnic influences on the family, and it develops the theme of freedom versus security as, not only an American, but, a basic human conflict, giving the story a meaning beyond family history. My last narrator, my first cousin twice removed and Lukes great, great, great-granddaughter, is of mixed black and white parentage. In coming to terms with her dual ancestry, she gives Lukes story and his devotion to the anti-slavery cause a more modern meaning and appeal.

By: James Flood,Shirley Brice Heath,Diane Lapp

The Handbook of Research on Teaching Literacy Through the Communicative and Visual Arts, Volume II brings together state-of-the-art research and practice on the evolving view of literacy as encompassing not only reading, writing, speaking, and listening, but also the multiple ways through which learners gain access to knowledge and skills. It forefronts as central to literacy education the visual, communicative, and performative arts, and the extent to which all of the technologies that have vastly expanded the meanings and uses of literacy originate and evolve through the skills and interests of the young.

The beautifully and expensively produced volume is a painstaking record of the family of Frist, the U.S. Senate's majority leader and a heart surgeon from Tennessee. Clearly a labor of love for Frist and his co-author, a longtime genealogist, the work is not in any sense a biography or political memoir, but rather is a straightforward tracing of Fr

The Gatherings

Reimagining Indigenous-Settler Relations

By: Shirley N. Hager,Mawopiyane

In a world that requires knowledge and wisdom to address developing crises around us, The Gatherings shows how Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples can come together to create meaningful and lasting relationships. Thirty years ago, in Wabanaki territory – a region encompassing the state of Maine and the Canadian Maritimes – a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals came together to explore some of the most pressing questions at the heart of Truth and Healing efforts in the United States and Canada. Meeting over several years in long-weekend gatherings, in a Wabanaki-led traditional Council format, assumptions were challenged, perspectives upended, and stereotypes shattered. Alliances and friendships were formed that endure to this day. The Gatherings tells the moving story of these meetings in the words of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants. Reuniting to reflect on how their lives were changed by their experiences and how they continue to be impacted by them, the participants share the valuable lessons they learned. The many voices represented in The Gatherings offer insights and strategies that can inform change at the individual, group, and systems levels. These voices affirm that authentic relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples – with their attendant anxieties, guilt, anger, embarrassments, and, with time, even laughter and mutual affection – are key to our shared futures here in North America. Now, more than ever, it is critical that we come together to reimagine Indigenous-settler relations. Mawopiyane: Gwen Bear Shirley Bowen Alma H. Brooks gkisedtanamoogk JoAnn Hughes Debbie Leighton Barb Martin Miigam’agan T. Dana Mitchell Wayne A. Newell Betty Peterson Marilyn Keyes Roper Wesley Rothermel Afterword by Dr. Frances Hancock To reflect the collaborative nature of this project, the word Mawopiyane is used to describe the full group of co-authors. Mawopiyane, in Passamaquoddy, literally means "let us sit together," but the deeper meaning is of a group coming together, as in the longhouse, to struggle with a sensitive or divisive issue – but one with a very desirable outcome. It is a healing word and one that is recognizable in all Wabanaki languages.

Quincy, Illinois

Quincy, Illinois

By: Carl Landrum,Shirley Landrum

Quincy, Illinois, is located on the Mississippi River about 20 miles north of Hannibal, Missouri, and 100 miles west of Springfield, the state capital. Both Quincy and the county in which it lies, Adams, were named for President John Quincy Adams. In 1822, a man named John Wood built a cabin at the foot of what would later become Delaware Street, near the Mississippi River. As more people came, the village grew eastward from that spot. Many German and Irish immigrants came to Quincy, along with pioneers moving from Kentucky and Virginia. These settlers were lured to the area by reports of the lush land called the "Jewel of the West," which was later called "The Gem City." Industrialists came from New York and other Eastern states and built many of the stately homes on Maine Street and the adjacent streets. Early industry in Quincy included pork packing, tobacco processing, paper making, stove making, carriage making, the ice industry, and lumberyards.

Kuru Sorcery

Disease and Danger in the New Guinea Highlands

By: Shirley Lindenbaum

Perhaps the best-documented epidemic in the history of medicine, kuru has been studied for more than fifty years by international investigators from medicine and the human sciences. This significantly revised edition of the landmark anthropological classic Kuru Sorcery brings up to date the anthropological contribution to understanding disease, the medical research that resulted in two medical Nobel Prizes, and the views of the Fore people who endured the epidemic and who still believe that sorcerers, rather than cannibalism, caused kuru. The kuru epidemic serves as a prism through which to see how Fore notions of disease causation bring into single focus their views about the body, the world of social and spiritual relations, and changes in economic and political conditions-aspects of thought and behaviour that Western medicine keeps separate.

Dreaming with the Ancestors

Black Seminole Women in Texas and Mexico

By: Shirley Boteler Mock

Indian freedmen and their descendants have garnered much public and scholarly attention, but women's roles have largely been absent from that discussion. Now a scholar who gained an insider's perspective into the Black Seminole community in Texas and Mexico offers a rare and vivid picture of these women and their contributions. In Dreaming with the Ancestors, Shirley Boteler Mock explores the role that Black Seminole women have played in shaping and perpetuating a culture born of African roots and shaped by southeastern Native American and Mexican influences. Mock reveals a unique maroon culture, forged from an eclectic mixture of religious beliefs and social practices. At its core is an amalgam of African-derived traditions kept alive by women. The author interweaves documentary research with extensive interviews she conducted with leading Black Seminole women to uncover their remarkable history. She tells how these women nourished their families and held fast to their Afro-Seminole language — even as they fled slavery, endured relocation, and eventually sought new lives in new lands. Of key importance were the "warrior women" — keepers of dreams and visions that bring to life age-old African customs. Featuring more than thirty illustrations and maps, including historic photographs never before published, Dreaming with the Ancestors combines scholarly analysis with human interest to open a new window on both African American and American Indian history and culture.
