Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder ballads have been a part of the musical traditions of America since the 1700s, when their source materials were brought from Scandinavia, England, and Scotland. Ballads like “Omie Wise,” “Pretty Polly,” and “The Ballad of Tom Dooley” have been recorded by a variety of artists, and still draw new listeners for commercial success. Despite their historic presence in American music, murder ballads are not often included in the school music curriculum. The content is not always appropriate for elementary or middle school students, but high school students are better equipped to deal with the themes and can often be easily engaged in lessons due to the scandalous topics. This curriculum proposal provides secondary music educators the means to introduce Appalachian folk music, particularly murder ballads, into their general music classroom. Lessons are cross-curricular in nature, allowing educators the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues in the history and language arts departments as well as provide opportunities for students to reinforce skill sets developed in other core classes. At the time of this writing, many public school systems are beginning the school year with either all virtual or a hybrid school schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Options are provided for coursework that can be completed virtually or through in-person instruction. With the undetermined effects that COVID-19 and a shift to virtual instruction will have on the education system, flexibility in curriculum design and implementation will be of the utmost importance.

Book excerpt: "In this book the authors explore the position that systemic reform requires addressing the culture of individual schools, and that various reform efforts address school culture in different ways. The chapters advocate that the key to success is the match between the strategy in use and the setting. In the chapters, reforms and their interactions with particular school cultures are explored through fieldwork." "The reader can learn from the cases what it takes to mount and sustain a systemic reform initiative at the school level. The book is intended for teachers, principals, parents, and others as a window into how to think about reform in schools, even as they must comply with the demands of accountability policy."--Jacket.

The term "African thought" has been interpreted in the broadest sense to embrace all those forms of discourse - philosophy, political thought, religion, literature, important social movements - that contribute to the formulation of a distinctive vision of the world determined by or derived from the African experience. The Encyclopedia is a large-scale work of 350 entries covering major topics involved in the development of African Thought including historical figures and important social movements, producing a collection that is an essential resource for teaching, an invaluable companion to independent research, and a solid guide for further study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Encyclopedia details subjects traditionally associated with Appalachia - folklore, handcrafts, mountain music, food, and coal mining - but goes far beyond regional stereotypes to treat such wide-ranging topics as the aerospace industry, Native American foodways, ethnic diversity in the coalfields, education reform, linguistic variation, and the contested notion of what it means to be Appalachian, both inside and outside the region." "Researched and developed by the Center for Appalachian Studies and Services at East Tennessee State University, this 1,864-page compendium includes all thirteen states that constitute the northern, central, and southern subregions of Appalachia - from New York to Mississippi. With entries on everything from Adventists to zinc mining, the Encyclopedia of Appalachia is a one-stop guide to all things Appalachian."--BOOK JACKET.
