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.

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.

Things that can be done this week…
Finish the term well. Keep the focus for our students through to the end. Look at the two week break as a recharge
but an opportunity for consolidation of this terms learning. Look to the S.A.M. vouchers and ‘congratulation letters’ as
a way of encouraging those students with fortitude.
Good week for gathering student feedback as part of the appraisal cycle (student voice in April). Attached on the
reverse and saved at S:AdministrationAppraisalStudent's voice.docx
End of term clean-up of classrooms. Wayne has requested that all desks and chairs are stacked against the wall with
the least windows. All classrooms will have an extensive clean and windows done. Wayne will make a call on which
carpets need cleaning. Please ensure that nothing tempting is visible over the break and everything is locked up well.
FYI – Sport Waikato Census results for 2015. We had 53% of ours students involved in sports (below the region average of 54%).
We had 28 sports offered and we were ranked 26th (out of 41) secondary schools for participation. Goal this year of increasing our
participation rates for staff and students (XPLORE will go a long way to achieve this).
Careful with the locking of the rooms (some evidence that students are ‘jamming’ the locking mechanism). We need to
make sure that the exits are not blocked and that the sensors are not covered up.
Return of the crockery please… we seem to be shy of cups and spoons in the staffroom at the moment. Reminder
about clearing up your cups/plates at end of lunch (Sami the cleaner afternoon shift starts afterschool).
Ruth Parson is having her last week here at the College as the school nurse. We will farewell Ruth on Thurs at interval.
Year 12 A.R.T. Mentors – please if you could get back some information for me (particularly the /5 score).
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative
expression and knowledge. Albert Einstein

“There are lesson you take from your own life and experiences. I don’t think my own mother ever said I’d one
anything good. I don’t remember my father saying I’d done a good job. I didn’t get encourage like that at home
and I know now how much it would have meant to me ."
