Download or read book The Struggle for Modern Tibet The Autobiography of Tashi Tsering written by Melvyn C. Goldstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This captivating autobiography by a Tibetan educator and former political prisoner is full of twists and turns. Born in 1929 in a Tibetan village, Tsering developed a strong dislike of his country's theocratic ruling elite. As a 13-year-old member of the Dalai Lama's personal dance troupe, he was frequently whipped or beaten by teachers for minor infractions. A heterosexual, he escaped by becoming a drombo, or homosexual passive partner and sex-toy, for a well-connected monk. After studying at the University of Washington, he returned to Chinese-occupied Tibet in 1964, convinced that Tibet could become a modernized society based on socialist, egalitarian principles only through cooperation with the Chinese. Denounced as a 'counterrevolutionary' during Mao's Cultural Revolution, he was arrested in 1967 and spent six years in prison or doing forced labor in China. Officially exonerated in 1978, Tsering became a professor of English at Tibet University in Lhasa. He now raises funds to build schools in Tibet's villages, emphasizing Tibetan language and culture.

This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every learning space should be a safe, inviting, and enchanting environment. Every learning space called a classroom should be safe physically, emotionally, socially, and academically. It should be a place where every learner has the opportunity to become everything they were created to be. This book explores ideas about teaching and learning that allow these magical places to be created. Often students come to our learning places starry-eyed and curious but leave wondering who they are. They need learning places that celebrate their worth, that build on their curiosity and desire for exploration of their world. They need learning places filled with positive energy, where diverse thinking and diverse problem-solving methods are valued, where they are safe to disagree, where they are accepted and loved. They can grow in a learning space that has heart. Learning spaces change our lives. This book is an amalgam of ideas gathered, practiced, and lived over seven decades of passion for learning and teaching and the creation of these safe and enchanting learning spaces. It is about the magic that learning can be. It challenges much about our monopolistic education system. It offers ways to reach new horizons in learning as we tap into the deep well of the human spirit and potential.

Download or read book Just Kids From the Bronx written by Arlene Alda and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A down-to-earth, inspiring book about the American promise fulfilled." —President Bill Clinton "Fascinating . . . . Made me wish I had been born in the Bronx." —Barbara Walters A touching and provocative collection of memories that evoke the history of one of America's most influential boroughs—the Bronx—through some of its many success stories The vivid oral histories in Arlene Alda's Just Kids from the Bronx reveal what it was like to grow up in the place that bred the influencers in just about every field of endeavor today. The Bronx is where Michael Kay, the New York Yankees' play-by-play broadcaster, first experienced baseball, where J. Crew's CEO Millard (Mickey) Drexler found his ambition, where Neil deGrasse Tyson and Dava Sobel fell in love with science early on and where music-making inspired hip hop's Grandmaster Melle Mel to change the world of music forever. The parks, the pick-up games, the tough and tender mothers, the politics, the gangs, the food—for people who grew up in the Bronx, childhood recollections are fresh. Arlene Alda's own Bronx memories were a jumping-off point from which to reminisce with a nun, a police officer, an urban planner, and with Al Pacino, Mary Higgins Clark, Carl Reiner, Colin Powell, Maira Kalman, Bobby Bonilla, and many other leading artists, athletes, scientists and entrepreneurs—experiences spanning six decades of Bronx living. Alda then arranged these pieces of the past, from looking for violets along the banks of the Bronx River to the wake-up calls from teachers who recognized potential, into one great collective story, a film-like portrait of the Bronx from the early twentieth century until today.
