The Culinary Specialist (CS) “A” School is relocating from Great Lakes, Illinois to Fort Lee, Virginia in January 2011 as part of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure process. The move will combine Navy culinary training with the Army, Marine Corps and Air Force training in a joint environment, exposing sailors to other services' policies and procedures. While the basics of cooking will remain the same, students will benefit from a more well-rounded education that incorporates joint-mindedness.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. CS “A” School moves to Fort Lee
NEWPORT, R.I. – The Culinary Specialist (CS) “A” School is relocating to Fort Lee, Va., this
year, with classes scheduled to begin January 2011.
The last Great Lakes CS “A” School class is scheduled to graduate Dec. 10, 2010.
The transition from its current location at Service School Command, Great Lakes, comes on the
heels of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process that also led to CSS
headquarters and the Navy Supply Corps School move to Newport, R.I.
As the mission of BRAC is to improve the joint utilization of assets, the move to Fort Lee brings
together culinary training with Army, Marine Corps and the Air Force. The focus will continue
to be providing well-trained culinary specialists to the Fleet with an emphasis on quality food
service; however, the Sailors who will train at the new facility will get much more.
“With the school moving to a joint environment, CS students will be exposed to the Army and
Marine Corps, which will prove beneficial for the future,” said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Brian
Armstrong, CS “A” School officer in charge. “As many of our assignments worldwide are in the
joint realm, these Sailors will learn from an early stage of their career about other services. They
will benefit from learning other rank structures as well as policies and procedures the other
services follow.”
The updated training in a joint environment will further result in well-rounded Sailors ready to
serve the Navy in galleys throughout the Fleet.
Although the new CS students will benefit from joint training, Armstrong further explained that
continued attention will be paid to Navy-specific training in the opening and closing phases of
the curriculum to allow the Sailors to recognize the uniqueness of the Navy and our maritime
environment.
The first three days and the final five days of the 25-day course schedule will feature Navy food
service organization, attire, equipment, and galley and wardroom service as well as sanitation
and nutrition.
In addition to an adapted curriculum, new facilities are being built and one expansion project is
currently underway to meet the needs of the school merger. According to Armstrong, a “new,
dining facility for the Navy and Air Force was completed in June 2010 to accommodate the
influx of the new students.”
The Joint Culinary Center for Excellence is also expanding to meet the needs of the increased
student throughput.
“The facility will mirror the facility classrooms currently used by the Army and Marine Corps,”
Armstrong added.
2. As a result of the BRAC consolidation, the Navy should expect to receive a more well-rounded
CS with the culinary skills of Navy experts and the joint-mindedness gained through the shared
training and facilities.
“The basics and fundamentals of cooking will remain,” Armstrong said. “(Now), the students
will get the best of both worlds; whereas beforehand, it was Navy-unique training only, even
though we serve with Marine Corps units and the Army and Air Force on the front lines.”
Joint training with the Air Force is nothing new for Navy culinary specialists. The Navy “A”
school only moved to Great Lakes in 2006 amidst the BRAC considerations. Upon
announcement of the latest BRAC decisions, the consolidation of all Department of Defense
culinary training was mandated.
The overall cost of the culinary training consolidation sits at approximately $58 mil. This
includes the schoolhouse addition, renovation of an administrative building, the new dining
facility and the barracks.
To ensure a seamless transition from Great Lakes to Fort Lee, seven of 18 staff and faculty
members will transfer with the school and a monthlong cushion is built in from the last class at
Great Lakes to the kick off of the first class in Virginia.
The school’s senior enlisted leader CSCS (SW) Robert Kroeger was the first Navy instructor to
arrive at Fort Lee. He arrived at the new location in August.
“The remaining instructor billets will be moved at a rate of two to four each month until all are
on board, which should be in December 2010,” said CSCS(SW) Scott Spencer, CSS’s CS
training manger. “This will give the instructors time to complete the Journeyman Instructor
Course and the three-day indoctrination with the Joint Culinary School of Excellence staff.”
