Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1994, this stirring autobiography of a fighter and test pilot takes readers full throttle through Carl's imposing list of "firsts." Beginning with his World War II career, he gained such commendations as first Marine Corps ace, among the first Marines ever to fly a helicopter, and first Marine to land aboard an aircraft carrier. His combat duty included the momentous battles at Midway and Guadalcanal. Not one to rest on his laurels, however, he participated in photoreconnaissance operations over Red China in 1955 and flew missions in Vietnam. In peacetime he gamed fame for "pushing the envelope" as a test pilot, adding the world's altitude and peace records to his wartime feats and becoming the first U.S. military aviator to wear a full pressure suit. Such achievements also led to Carl's being the first living Marine admitted to the Naval Aviation Hall of Honor, as well as the first Marine to be named to the Navy Carrier Aviation Test Pilots Hall of Honor. This very readable memoir is as forthright and compelling as the man it chronicles.

Book excerpt: /9909K-9, 0-13-099090-6, Ornstein, Allan C., Pushing the Envelope: Critical Issues in Education//--> This casebook offers 27 research-based cases that explore current and controversial issues in education; the stakeholders involved in education--parents, teachers, administrators and other professionals; and the groups affected by educational controversies--the disenfranchised, those with special needs, liberals, conservatives, reformists, radicals, scientists, technocrats, humanists, and artists. The provocative writing style that asks "why" and "what if" in a way no other book does, is intended to stimulate and provoke future teachers to reflect on--and hopefully modify--their own ideas and values that will shape their teaching. A five-part organization covers philosophical/social foundations, curriculum and instruction, teacher professionalism, school policy and reform, and multicultural and international education. For teachers and future teachers of all grade levels, school administrators, and anyone with an interest in the education system.

Book excerpt: You're talented, accomplished and successful. You are a technical expert, a high level manager or a prospering entrepreneur. You have it all together. At least everyone thinks so. Except you. You look around and think, "Everyone thinks I'm smarter than I really am! I feel like a fake! What if they're on to me?"Many smart and successful people, especially those in a creative, technical or educational career, experience this. They feel they don't deserve their success. They discount their own achievements, and harbor secret doubts about their own capabilities. They attribute their success to things like lucky connections, good timing or serendipity, and they fear they'll be discovered as a fraud. Wrapped up in this chronic insecurity, they live within self-imposed limits, unable to enjoy their own success.It's called Impostor Syndrome, the persistent feeling of not measuring up to one's own resume. If this is you, you are not alone. It's estimated that 70% of successful people suffer from this. But there's help. There are strategies that can silence that impostor voice so you can embrace your success and confidently push ahead without fear of being unmasked as a fake.In the aerospace world, researchers and test flight pilots will "push the envelope¿approach, exceed, or even extend the limits of what is considered possible for that aircraft. It's bold, gutsy and exhilarating. Like these pilots, you too can push your envelope, exceed what you consider possible, and extend beyond the confines created by your impostor fears.You can be released from the clench of the counterfeit, to live with bold enthusiasm.

Download or read book On the Rocketship written by Richard Whitmire and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The face of American education is evolving—and the roadmap is clear On the Rocketship: How Top Charter Schools are Pushing the Envelope examines the rise and expansion of leading charter school network Rocketship, revealing the "secret sauce" that makes a successful program. A strong narrative with a timely message, the book explores how Rocketship started and the difficulties encountered as it expands. Designing schools for children who have been failed by traditional schools is extremely challenging work. Setbacks are inevitable. Later in the book the narrative shifts to the national picture, exploring how high performing charter schools are changing the education landscape in cities such as Denver, Memphis, and Houston. The book emerges just as charter schools are running into stiff political opposition in New York City and elsewhere. Even in San Jose, Rocketship's home base, the pushback against charter schools is gaining speed. On the Rocketship becomes a valuable resource for explaining what's at stake in this battle. Lose these schools, in New York, San Jose and other cities, and low-income and minority students lose their best shot at a quality education. Written by a veteran journalist who followed Rocketship through a school year, the book explores some of the factors that make Rocketship and other charters successful, including the blended learning that was pioneered at charter schools, especially Rocketship. Many schools around the country are looking to Rocketship as a model for implementing blended learning. The interplay between charter schools and blended learning is setting a change in motion, and the American education system is ready to evolve. On the Rocketship details this phenomenon, providing insights for educators across the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson’s funny, heartbreaking, and utterly romantic tale gets a great new cover! Ginny Blackstone never thought she’d spend her summer vacation backpacking across Europe. But that was before she received the first little blue envelope from Aunt Peg. This letter was different from Peg’s usual letters for two reasons: 1. Peg had been dead for three months. 2. The letter included $1000 cash for a passport and a plane ticket. Armed with instructions for how to retrieve twelve other letters Peg wrote—twelve letters that tell Ginny where she needs to go and what she needs to do when she gets there—Ginny quickly finds herself swept away in her first real adventure. Traveling from London to Edinburgh to Amsterdam and beyond, Ginny begins to uncover stories from her aunt’s past and discover who Peg really was. But the most surprising thing Ginny learns isn’t about Peg . . . it’s about herself. Everything about Ginny will change this summer, and it’s all because of the 13 little blue envelopes. Look for the sequel, The Last Little Blue Envelope!
