Being a successful teacher means constantly examining your own
development to identify blind spots and ensure you engage on a
meaningful level with teaching and learning. This book discusses
theoretical and conceptual ideas, linked to direct strategies for
the classroom, that guide students towards becoming proactive and
effective learners, giving them the confidence to take charge of
their professional future in teaching. Built around a series of
'contributing ideas', this book includes a conceptual framework for
critically analysing and thinking about the teaching and learning
environment. Examples throughout explore how to make the most of
professional learning opportunities so students can take personal
control of their learning, through self-regulation and
self-monitoring. Strategies for making practical use of these ideas
for classroom planning and preparation for learning are also
included.
Doug Dickey was an unlikely Marine hero. He was a gentle soul who
sang in the school's chorus and struggled to make it through boot
camp. However, in the terrible seconds that passed after a grenade
landed in the middle of his platoon's command element, Doug chose
to sacrifice his life to save his comrades. For this Final Valiant
Act, Doug received the Medal of Honor. Doug grew up on a farm in
Ohio and enlisted in the Marine Corps with four of his friends from
high school. Arriving in Vietnam, he was assigned to "Blackjack"
Westerman's 1st Battalion, 4th Marines - one of the few Marine
units to make amphibious assaults during the Vietnam War. As part
of 2nd Platoon, Company C, Doug took part in Operation Deckhouse
VI, to rout the Viet Cong from Quang Ngai; and Operation Beacon
Hill, which culminated in the desperate battle on March 26, 1967.
That afternoon, the platoon became engaged with a much larger NVA
unit just south of the DMZ. In the midst of that fierce battle,
with casualties mounting rapidly, an enemy grenade landed in the
middle of the platoon's command group. Doug dove on the grenade -
saving his friends and comrades. Second Platoon was ultimately
victorious, but at a high cost: more than 40 men had gone into
battle that day; only 12 walked out the next morning. Doug's
comrades in 2nd Platoon never forgot him. Easter Sunday 1967 was
seared into their memories. In 1997, they began holding yearly
reunions. They decided to honor Doug by holding their first reunion
in his hometown. Harold and Leona Dickey were finally able to meet
the men their son had saved 30 years earlier. A Final Valiant Act
is the result of over 14 years of research - drawing on Doug's
letters home, and more than 50 interviews. The personal stories are
woven into a meticulously researched battle history, sourced from
dozens of declassified combat reports - yielding the most detailed
account of Operation Beacon Hill yet written.
While quick to question the claims to knowledge that others make,
philosophers have not so readily submitted their own affirmations
to the same scrutiny. In fact, it seems to be the common conviction
of philosophers that the assertions they make are cognitive, are
true or false, and that philosophical disagreement is genuine
disagreement. In this stimulating essay Professor Lange confronts
this assumption, presents his own view of philosophy as proposal,
and then seeks a solution to the paradox that his view poses for
philosophy. Originally published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
