Leading Without Permission
Get PDFAuthor Robin Hummel makes an emphatic, persuasive plea for teachers to seize the reins of instructional leadership and take responsibility - even in the face of recalcitrant administrators and increasingly prescriptive curricula - for their own professional learning and growth. She makes the case for action research as a particularly potent professional development tool, and shows how it serves to liberate teachers from inertia and dependency

It\u27s All About the Teachers: Bank Street\u27s Math for Teachers as Professional Development
Get PDFThis work describes a professional development initiative that was based on the graduate course, Mathematics for Teachers in Diverse and Inclusive Educational Settings (K-6), taught by Linda Metnetsky at Bank Street College of Education. The author wrote and implemented this professional development initiative for teachers in her former district: a large, middle class, suburban school district outside of Philadelphia. It consisted of six full day sessions, held from October through April during the 2004-05 school year. Eleven teachers from third, fourth, and fifth grades participated, and the impact of this professional development on two participants is the focus of this study
Johann Nepomuk Hummel and his contribution to piano music and the art of playing the piano
No full textVita.Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837), a contemporary of Beethoven, was an international figure as a composer, a pianist, a conductor, and a teacher. He was primarily known as a piano virtuoso, and his compositions were widely performed in his lifetime. There are 127 works which have opus numbers; in addition there are approximately 50 other works without opus number. It seems strange that these works have almost completely disappeared from present-day concert repertoire and that he is merely remembered as a one-time pianist. There is no doubt that Hummel’s music has to be fully investigated in order for him to be recognized in the manner that he deserves.
Through his many-sided influence, such piano virtuosi as Czerny and Liszt were assisted in their development. One of his most important contributions is his treatise on playing the piano, which marks the beginning of modern piano technique. This book, Ausfuehrliche theoretisch-practische Anweisung zum Pianofortespiel, will be discussed in some detail in Chapter III of the present dissertation.
This study is also concerned with Hummel’s piano music and his influence upon piano literature in general. The author will discuss the relationship between Hummel and such leading composers of the period as Beethoven and Mozart, as well as some minor composers.
One aspect of this study is the consideration of characteristic stylistic traits in his piano works (nine sonatas, seven concertos, and 67 miscellaneous small pieces), which reveal Hummel’s position among his contemporaries and in the history of pianoforte literature and performance.
The study is preceded by a biographical account, based principally upon Karl Benyovszky’s J. N. Hummel, der Mensch und Kuenstler
How one helps: personality, theoretical orientation, and helping skill preference
Get PDFIn order to test the interrelationships among personality, preferred theoretical orientation to counseling, and preferences for various response modes (helping skills) in counseling, undergraduates in peer counseling and basic helping skills courses completed measures of these three constructs. Findings include four significant relationships between personality factors and theoretical orientations, and four significant relationships between theoretical orientation and helping skill preference. Three significant relationships between personality factors and helping skill preference were found, including two replications from an earlier study by the author (Hummel & Gelso, 2007). Identification with and belief in the humanistic/client-centered theoretical orientation was found to be a mediator between emotional stability and preference for direct guidance. Overall, there were modest interrelationships between personality, theoretical orientation, and helping skill preference in beginning helping trainees; but it was suggested that these relationships may not yet be solidified at this point in their development as helpers
Functions of autoreception: Karl Ove Knausgård as author-critic and rewriter
Get PDFKarl Ove Knausgård made his entry into the literary field as a critic in the 1990s, and he has
since 1998 made his mark as a novelist and essayist. The six-volume autobiographical work
Min kamp (2009-2011) is in essence about what it means for him to be an author. This thesis
investigates Knausgård’s strategies as a critic, essayist, and as the author of Min kamp to
position himself and his poetics within the literary field and a literary tradition. Specifically,
it examines the functions of autoreception, i.e. self-criticism, implicit in Knausgård’s role as
an author-critic, an author who writes literary criticism, and as a rewriter, an author who
rewrites his own texts and the context and poetic intentions of his previous texts. Thus, this
thesis aims to answer the question what are the functions of criticism and of rewriting for Karl Ove
Knausgård as an author?
Part I outlines a new framework of autoreception devised for examining the functions of
criticism and rewriting. The proposed common denominator is that both function to
establish, position, and validate an author-image. Ultimately, a new understanding of the
narration in Min kamp as autoreceptive is offered. Part II examines a largely unexplored area
of Knausgård’s work, namely the strategies of Knausgård as a critic prior to publishing his
first novel, and how Knausgård rewrites himself during this period in Min kamp. Part III
focuses on Knausgård’s rewriting of the period between writing his second novel and up
until he begins writing Min kamp. It investigates the strategic functions of the narrative
structure, the functions of the essayistic and critical passages, and the functions of the
distance and unity between past and present author-images that Knausgård creates in his
rewriting.
This thesis thus aims to contribute to the scholarship regarding Karl Ove Knausgård by
conducting an author-study that examines the relationship between criticism and poetics. In
addition, it aims to contribute to a broader field of research by offering a theoretical and
methodological framework of autoreception, which works across the boundaries of critical,
essayistic, and literary texts
