  • Autonomy As State Prevention: the Palestinian Question After Camp David, 1979–1982

In asserting a role as protector of nations emerging from the postwar partitions, the League of Nations helped neutralize local struggles for independence.3 The conceptual framework of “transformative occupation” in the modern Middle East illuminates the techniques of foreign rule within these wider imperial histories while linking them to ambitious programs of development.4 Whether in the name of civilization or modernity, whether by a colonial or mandated power, imposing the practices of Western governance on “backward” peoples and space characterized trans- formative occupation regimes.5 In this essay, I examine how a particular practice within the political and diplomatic repertoire of transformative occupation—the promotion of local autonomy—was successfully deployed in the Israeli-Palestinian arena.

  • Good Foundations Academy Reading and Literacy Policy
    Building Knowledge and Character GOOD FOUNDATIONS ACADEMY READING AND LITERACY POLICY PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY The development of literacy is one of the primary aims and focuses of effort at GFA. This includes a great deal of reading from a variety of both fiction and non-fiction primary literature. Particularly in the early grades, GFA emphasizes reading and more reading. Most American schools dedicate two or more hours each day to “literacy.” A majority of time is spent teaching children the fundamentals of reading strategies, such as making inferences, predicting, classifying, and looking for the main idea. The purpose of these exercises is to bolster test scores, independent of real knowledge. In contrast, GFA strives to develop the appreciation of language, increase specific knowledge, and provide meaning to students through the achievement of Primary Literacy, Mature Literacy, and Moral Literacy. Primary Literacy Primary Literacy begins with phonic recognition. Our goal in the early grades is for students to receive explicit, systematic phonemic awareness and phonics instruction. Children are provided deliberate, coherent, direct instruction in letter-sound correspondences. Practices which teach children to rely on word-memorization (the look-say method) and guessing (through illustration and/or context) are avoided. Once phonetic decoding skills are introduced, fluency must be developed. Fluency allows students to focus their mental energies on comprehension rather than decoding. Fluency means “flowing,” and in this context it also means “fast.” Fluency takes practice - a lot of it. Riggs & Open Court Phonics, selected stories from Open Court, and selected books from Accelerated Reader (AR) are the primary sources for the development of decoding skills and fluency at GFA.

  • CCWS Jere Knight Trail Article
    CCWS Jere Knight Trail article In the late 1970’s Peter and Joan Fuller purchased the 240 acre farm on Slifer Valley Road that they named Whispering Woods. Both of them had a dream of making the farm part of a larger community. They were long term members of Cooks Creek Watershed and donated one of their out buildings to be used as a nature center. During that period they preserved part of their farm property from any future development. In 1980, with the help of Cooks Creek members they created a nature trail that wrapped around their property on both sides of Slifer Valley Road. A very pretty part of the trail included an old logging trail that wound above a Cooks Creek tributary stream that runs almost year round. The trail was named Jere Knight Trail in honor of long time Cooks Creek associate and environmentalist, Jere Knight. The drawing below is the original trail layout from 1981-82 Jere Knight was an amazing woman. She was a member of the 1930 Olympic fencing team. In 1932 she married Eric Knight, an editor and author. With a lot of editing help from Jere, Eric wrote the original “Lassie Come Home” book in 1940. When World War II began, Eric, who was English, began working for the US intelligence agency. Unfortunately in 1943 Eric was killed in a military plane accident in Africa that was likely caused by sabotage. Jere was not to be stopped by this tragic loss. Although she was a Quaker, she made an exception for the fight against Hitler.

  • A Last Talk with Leslie Mcfarlane
    A Last Talk with Leslie McFarlane DA VID PALMER L eslie McFarlane, one of the world's most popular children's authors and a prolific contributor to Canadian popular culture, died on September 6th, 1977, in Whitby, Ontario. Born at Carleton Place, Ontario, in 1902, he worked as a reporter for several newspapers in Ontario and Massachusetts, and from the twenties to the forties contributed hundreds of stories and serials to the "better pulps" and "sn~ooth-paper magazines" (as Maclean's explained in 1940) in Canada, the U.S.A. and Great Britain.

In the late thirties and forties he wrote dozens of radio plays, and in 1944, after two years with the Department of Munitions and Supply, he was invited by John Grierson to join the National Film Board. During the next fourteen years he wrote, produced or directed (often all three) twenty- eight documentary fbs, winning several awards and an Oscar nomination. In 1958 he became head of the television drama script department at the CBC and wrote many television plays for that and other networks. He continued to produce occasional books (and revisions of earlier works) for children, and some of these later writings are reviewed elsewhere in this issue of CCL. Ironically, in view of this enormous output, McFarlane is probably best known now as the original Franklin W.
