Hail Mount Hermon! A TRIBUTE
Author: Jigme N. Kazi
Publisher: Prowess Publishing
ISBN: 1545753199
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 1062
Book Description
Published in the year of the school’s 125th anniversary, Hail Mount Hermon! A Tribute is a tribute not only to the school’s founders, principals and teachers but also to all Hermonites (alumni) of all eras and ages who have great love and affection for their alma mater and hopes that Mount Hermon School looks back to its great legacy and lives on to reach greater heights. The book chronicles the school’s tragic beginning soon after its opening in 1895, founding of Queen’s Hill School in the beginning of the 20th century, the establishment of Mount Hermon School at the present campus in Darjeeling in 1929–30, and how the school has grown and progressed thereafter right up to the present era. Throughout its 125 years of existence (1895–2020), Mount Hermon School, founded by Christian missionaries of America in the latter part of the 19th century, had its share of ups and downs. However, the school was able to pull through hard times mainly because of the faith, dedication and determination of its leadership. Major events and renowned personalities of the school are well-documented in this book for posterity to note the spirit in which the school was initially founded and why it survived for so long despite trying circumstances to become one of the leading educational institutions in India. The efforts of the Hermonites and their concern for their alma mater to regain its past glory is recorded in the latter part of this book. Their love and concern for their alma mater is a profound reflection of the spirit that not only gave birth to this great institution but kept it going in the past 125 years through troubled times.

THE EVOLUTION OF A NEGRO INTO AN INTEGRATED SOCIETY
Author: GRADY ABRAMS
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1456834649
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This book is a collection of opinion editorials, business and personal letters, letters to the editor, columns, and poems that I have written over the past five decades. In them can be found a belief system that has evolved over that period of time. In the area of race relations, I have gradually shifted my views from a parochial position to one of inclusiveness. The world is too intertwined to maintain a position of separatism. However, my evolvement has not come without a price. People resist change and change agents.

The Hero's Journey
Author: John L. Brown
Publisher: ASCD
ISBN: 0871203448
Category : Educational change
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
This is a book about hope. It affirms the power of personal and collective responsibility to enact heroic changes in our schools. Through a shared vision, purpose, and inquiry--and using the collective wisdom of myth, legend, and metaphor from around the world--we can find the inspiration and courage to face the challenges inherent in transforming schools into authentic learning organizations. As the heroes of legend leave the safety of their homes to face dragons and serpents in their quest for treasure and enlightenment, so do modern educators face new practices and confront the barriers to change in education. The authors show how heroic educators can triumph in their journey--and achieve excellence for students. Like both Arthurian and Jedi Knights, the Native American hero Black Elk, and Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, heroic educators face six stages on their journey: * innocence lost; * chaos and complexity; * the heroic quest; * gurus and alliances; * trials, tests, and initiations; and * insight and transformation. Finally, the heroic educator returns "home" and begins the journey again, with a renewed vision and an enlarged heart, to create a caring community for learners of all ages.

Leonard Bernstein and His Young People's Concerts
Author: Alicia Kopfstein-Penk
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0810888505
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
Leonard Bernstein touched millions of lives as composer, conductor, teacher, and activist. He frequently visited homes around the world through the medium of television, particularly through his fifty-three award-winning Young People’s Concerts (1958-1972), which at their height were seen by nearly ten million in over forty countries. Originally designed for young viewers but equally attractive to eager adults, Bernstein’s brilliance as a teacher shined brightly in his televised presentations. And yet, despite the light touch of the “maestro,” the innocence of his audience, and the joyousness of each show’s topic, the turbulence of the times would peek through. In this first in-depth look at the series, Alicia Kopfstein-Penk’s Leonard Bernstein and His Young People’s Concerts illustrates how the cultural, social, political, and musical upheavals of the long sixties impacted Bernstein’s life and his Young People’s Concerts. Responding to trends in corporate sponsorship, censorship, and arts programming from the Golden Age of Television into the 1970s, the Young People’s Concerts would show the impact of and reflect the social and cultural politics of the Cold War, Vietnam, the Civil Rights and Women’s Movements, and the Counterculture. Bernstein cheerfully bridged classical and popular tastes, juxtaposing the Beatles with Mozart even as he offered personal, televised pleas for peace and unity. At the same time, the concerts reflect Bernstein’s troubled relationship as a professional musician with the dominance of atonality and his quest to nurture American music. Anyone who enjoys the oeuvre of Leonard Bernstein, has watched his Young People’s Concerts, or is passionate about the history of the long sixties will find in Leonard Bernstein and His Young People’s Concerts a story of all three captured in this monumental study.
