Empathy and the Autistic Spectrum: Empowering Adolescent Achievement through ...claudebisson
The adolescent within the autism spectrum faces a variety of obstacles in achieving academic success, due in particular to challenges with executive functioning and affective relationship building. These nonverbal deficits puzzle families and educators as they attempt to empower students to meet individual potentials. In addition, parents may also feel marginalized by the entire educational process. In order to provide the best education for these students, a teacher must find a means of successful collaboration with a variety of people: families, clinicians, social workers, guidance counselors, and consultants. This project encourages collaborative team participation of key mentors through a curriculum by offering an interdisciplinary, thematic unit in which all players participate to contribute to the affective lessons of the child.
While participating in lessons that acknowledge the common experiences and emotions of the human condition, students practice skills in empathy. The more the students practice empathy, the more they rehearse daily emotional responses that exhibit reflection and responsibility, a significant affective objective for every high school student. This is especially important for adolescents in the autistic spectrum, many of whom may struggle with academics due to chronic disorganization, inability to integrate new ideas in existing schemas, and inability to appropriately articulate needs and feelings. When the student relates to a common experience with a character in narrative, he or she simply makes objective observations in an attempt to relate them to personal experiences. Thus, narrative provides a medium for interpersonal connection that would not otherwise be made with members of the interdisciplinary team. This enhances the academic experience and incorporates values-based education and therapeutic models of intervention into the content area.
This presentation will provide a practitioner-based example that implemented interdisciplinary collaboration in a curricular project based on The Sunflower, by Simon Weisenthal. While the presenters organized a school-wide project, this plan could be implemented in classrooms or schools, regardless of size. Participants will acquire the knowledge necessary to actively engage all players involved in a child’s education by implementing a similar affective curriculum in their schools.
This presentation will include lecture, Power Point presentation, handouts, examples of student/parent/teacher blog entries, and a cooperative learning activity to encourage active, participatory learning.
This powerpoint presentation talks about academic leadership with focus on how to improve instruction and how to empower teachers to be become excellent teachers.

Presented at the 2017 Faculty Summer Institute
Research suggests that building a strong sense of connectedness in an online course promotes
student success, engages students, and retains students. This requires that you establish a strong
teaching presence within the course, and that you create structures for students to form a community.
In this session, you will learn strategies to make your online course more personal and techniques to
build faculty and student presence in your online course.
This updated presentation focuses on the future learning walk as one tool to generate deep conversations about learning. Rather than a prescriptive model, the suggested process encourages co-creation to meet the needs of the organisation. It is based on Cheryl Doig's new ebook "Talking the Walk: Walking the Talk - An introduction to learning walks" available from www.thinkbeyond.co.nz
Unleashing learners VALA Conference June 13 2014Adrian Bertolini
How do we unleash our students to find their passion, to be intrinsically motivated, to become entrepreneurial? It not only requires an unleashing of the mindset and beliefs of the students but also the mindset and beliefs of teachers and school leadership. In this session the presenter will share his experiences of unleashing young people via the ruMAD (Are you Making a Difference) program but how he followed his passion to work with schools to think from, plan for, and gradually set up learning environments that unleash learning in schools.
Have you ever been tasked with designing a training program for student workers, creating a seminar or workshop for your staff, or developing an on-campus event? This session will walk you through how to create a learning experience for your participants through tying together goals and objectives, learning/instructional activities, as well as assessments to ensure that your participants are gaining the knowledge and information you set out to provide. Learn more about this model and hear from a variety of institutions that have had success adopting this intentional approach with various student organizations and staff.
A growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts, your strategies, and help from others

Students, digital devices and success - Andreas Schleicher - 27 May 2024..pptxEduSkills OECD
Andreas Schleicher presents at the OECD webinar ‘Digital devices in schools: detrimental distraction or secret to success?’ on 27 May 2024. The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.
