Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norman Rubin looks back a lifetime working on fascinating engineering projects in this autobiography. Born in the Bronx, New York, just as World War II was starting, he attended the New York City school system and graduated from Evander Childs High School, where he met his future wife, Judy. He attended the City College of New York, graduating with a degree in electrical engineering, which gave him the foundation to launch an exciting career as an engineer. Specializing in circuit and system design, he worked on sonar, radar, secure data and voice transmission, power conversion and biomedical instrumentation. He led the team that designed the voice communication system for the space shuttle, and in the 1960s, he worked on a program called the orbiting astronomical observatory, which led to the Hubble telescope. In the mid-1970s, he led the team that advanced the technology that made innovations like the cell phone possible. He also designed highly stable circuits that were used on the flight test program of the Boeing 757 and 767. Join the author as he recalls an incredible career spent at the forefront of innovation.

Download or read book History Lessons written by S.G. Grant and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, extended case studies of two veteran teachers and their students are combined with the extant research literature to explore current issues of teaching, learning, and testing U.S. history. It is among the first to examine these issues together and in interaction. While the two teachers share several similarities, the teaching practices they construct could not be more different. To explore these differences, the author asks what their teaching practices look like, how their instruction influences their students' understandings of history, and what role statewide exams play in their classroom decisions. History Lessons: Teaching, Learning, and Testing in U.S. High School Classrooms is a major contribution to the emerging body of empirical research in the field of social studies education, chiefly in the subject area of history, which asks how U.S. students make sense of history and how teachers construct their classroom practices. Three case study chapters are paired with three essay review chapters intended to help readers analyze the cases by looking at them in the context of the current research literature. Two concluding chapters extend the cases and analyses: the first looks at how and why the teachers profiled in this book construct their individual teaching practices, in terms of three distinct but interacting sets of influences--personal, organizational, and policy factors; the second explores the prospects for promoting what the author defines as ambitious teaching and learning. Many policymakers assume that standards-based reforms support the efforts of ambitious teachers, but until we better understand how they and the students in their classes think and act, that assumption is hollow at best. This book is a must have for faculty and students in the field of social studies education, and broadly relevant across the fields of curriculum studies and educational policy.

Download or read book Opting Out written by David Hursh and published by Myers Education Press. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2020 AESA Critics' Choice Book Award winner The rise of high-stakes testing in New York and across the nation has narrowed and simplified what is taught, while becoming central to the effort to privatize public schools. However, it and similar reform efforts have met resistance, with New York as the exemplar for how to repel standardized testing and invasive data collection, such as inBloom. In New York, the two parent/teacher organizations that have been most effective are Long Island Opt Out and New York State Allies for Public Education. Over the last four years, they and other groups have focused on having parents refuse to submit their children to the testing regime, arguing that if students don’t take the tests, the results aren’t usable. The opt-out movement has been so successful that 20% of students statewide and 50% of students on Long Island refused to take tests. In Opting Out, two parent leaders of the opt-out movement—Jeanette Deutermann and Lisa Rudley—tell why and how they became activists in the two organizations. The story of parents, students, and teachers resisting not only high-stakes testing but also privatization and other corporate reforms parallels the rise of teachers across the country going on strike to demand increases in school funding and teacher salaries. Both the success of the opt-out movement and teacher strikes reflect the rise of grassroots organizing using social media to influence policy makers at the local, state, and national levels.
