Teaching Strategies and Methodologies for Teaching and LearningMG M
The term Teaching method refers to the general principles, pedagogy and management strategies used for classroom instruction. Your method depends on what are your goals, your individual style and your school’s vision.
This paper was presented within 16th ICSQCC in Lucknow, ındia on 28th November 2013:
Total quality (TQ) is a passion and a way of life for those organizations that live its message. The problem is how to generate the passion and the pride required to create quality in education. The significance of leadership for undertaking the transformation to TQ should not be underestimated. A key aspect of the leadership role in education is to train and empower teachers to give them the maximum opportunity to improve the learning of their students. Technology and innovative ideas are the other important tools for them.
Not only in Turkey, but in many countries “training innovative minds through quality in education and technology use” has gained importance recently. Many educators and educational leaders are trying to find out the meaning of “quality” in education through the further technological innovations. This tendency seems to be changing the educational paradigm with respect to the Internet technologies. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are getting very popular especially in American and European universities. Through some well-known IT companies teachers are trying new ways instead of the traditional ones. Experts think that the Internet and some other innovative ideas might be significant for the national systems of education as they may become the basis for the emerging global education system.
In this paper, the author is going to share her experiences she gained during her participation to the Sixth Conference of MIT’s Learning International Networks Consortium on June 16th-19th, 2013 at MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

The Importance Of A Good School Environment For Creative DevelopmentKapilPunetha2
It is long-discredited that creative development is limited to paintings, pencils, and colours. This way of thinking is believed to be equally crucial for people working in STEM fields as it is for those in the arts.
One study even highlighted creativity as one of the most desirable traits for an employee amongst 1500 CEOs worldwide. As such, success depends on how much exposure we’ve had to creative thinking and learning, making the school the perfect place to begin creative development.
In this article, we have compiled for you seven creative school approaches for the creative development of children.
7 Ways To Foster Innovation In Education | The Enterprise WorldTEWMAGAZINE

Early-stage educational steps needed to create more effective R&D driversPiotr Szymański
This is a presentation we made for our improvement propositions as a subgroup of the Top 500 Innovators programme. We worked on early stage educational steps needed to create more effective R&D drivers. We were thinking about middle schools and universities. How to create attitudes for more innovation and entrepreneurship. People say we did a good job. See for it yourself, your taxes paid for it. It was hard work of 9 intelligent people.
I do believe that public funded work, should be publically available for free, I am therefore releasing it on a Creative Commons licence. We tried hard to come up with something rigid, innovative, thorough and providing answers on many levels of changes, from the - oh let's implement them next semester - to - this will take a while...
We hope you can use it both for teaching and setting your mind towards students. If you are running an OTL office, feel free to ask us about an implementation plan for the entrepreneurship courses. Oh just feel free to ask and we'll help. We have a sense of mission, and in the end - it is your right, you paid for it. Excercise your god damn right!
Do not be afraid of making a change. Take a risk. Try. Make use of our ideas if you find them valuable. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity! The world will offer you comfort. But you were not made for comfort.
On a personal note I would like to thank Maria Klawe and the wonderful people from Harvey Mudd College, that were so hospitable and kind to share so much knowledge with me. And so much energy. Thank you! Special thanks to many people at Ministerstwo Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego who made this programme possible. And so many thanks to prof. Moncarz and the team of Stanford Center for Professional Development for hosting us and also teaching us so much! And so much thanks to all the people from the project team for being so kind and tolerant to all my annoying characteristics :D

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.

It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
3. Innovation
Innovation means first different,
then better. It is a fundamentally
different way of doing things with
better, and perhaps different,
outcomes.
Both the 'different' and the 'better'
must be significant and
substantial.
4. When it comes to education,
what does the word Innovation
mean to you?
5. “Innovation in education should be defined as
making it easier for teachers and students to
do the things THEY want to do.
These are the innovations that succeed, scale and sustain.”
– Rob Abel, USA
Innovation in Education
6. Educators need to think of innovation as those
actions that significantly challenge key
assumptions about schools and the way they
operate.
Innovation in Education
7. One challenge in public consciousness now is the
need to reinvent just about everything, from;
scientific advances,
technology breakthroughs,
political & economic
structures,
environmental solutions,
21st century code of ethics,
everything is in flux—and
everything demands innovative,
out of the box thinking.
8. The burden of reinvention falls on today’s
generation of students. So it follows that education
should focus on fostering innovation by putting;
curiosity,
critical thinking,
deep understanding,
the rules and tools of
inquiry, and
creative brainstorming at
the center of the curriculum.
9. This is hardly the case, as we know, In fact,
innovation and the current classroom model most
often operate as antagonists.
The system is
evolving, but not
quickly enough
to get young
people ready for
the new world.
10.
11. But there are a number of ways that teachers can
bypass the system and offer students the tools and
experiences that spur an innovative mindset.
12. An Innovative Teacher’s primary function is to help
students solve problems creatively, and innovatively.
Here are ten ideas from Thom Markham
13. Thom Markham, Ph.D., a psychologist and school
redesign consultant who assists teachers in
designing high quality, rigorous projects that
incorporate 21st
century skills and the principles of
youth development.
An Innovative author of
the Project Based
Learning Design and
Coaching Guide:

innovation and inquiry
for k-12 teachers.
14. Here are ten 10 Ways to Teach Innovation by
Thom Markham
1.Teach concepts, not facts.
2. Move from projects to Project Based Learning.
3. Distinguish concepts from critical information.
4. Make skills as important as knowledge.
5. Form teams, not groups.
6.Use thinking tools.
7. Use creativity tools.
8. Reward discovery.
9. Make reflection part of the lesson.
10. Be innovative yourself.
15. Concept-based instruction overcomes the fact-
based, rote-oriented nature of standardized
curriculum.
1.Teach concepts, not facts.
If your curriculum is
not organized
conceptually, use you
own knowledge and
resources to teach
ideas and deep
understanding, not
test items.
16.
17. Most teachers have done projects, but the majority do
not use the defined set of methods associated with
high-quality PBL.
2. Move from projects to Project Based Learning.
These methods
include developing
a focused question,
using solid, well
crafted
performance
assessments.
18.
