What is the ultimate measure of our effectiveness as educators? Perhaps it is enrollment growth at our institution. Maybe it is retention rates of students. Could it be graduation rates of cohorts? Possibly it is average scores on major field tests. While all of those are worthwhile metrics to measure, consider employer satisfaction with our graduates as a key performance indicator of our effectiveness.
Internal metrics are absolutely important to utilize as we continually improve our programs. But ultimately graduating students is not the goal, it is merely a means to an end. The ultimate goal is to develop students who possess the attributes, knowledge and skills to be a professional in their chosen field.
Is your institution/program measuring employer satisfaction with your graduates? Is there dialogue taking place between persons serving on curriculum development committees and employers about the competencies needed in the workforce?
Dr. Mac Adkins has an uncommon perspective as both an educator and employer. He holds a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership from Auburn University, has served as a Dean at a state institution and a private, for-profit institution, and has taught on-campus and online for the past twenty years at Troy University, Capella University, Amridge University and the International Distance Education Certification Center. In addition to that academic background for fourteen years he has served as the CEO and Founder of SmarterServices which provides assessment services to over 500 colleges and universities. He has served on curriculum development committees at the program level as well as the state level as he was one of the authors of the Alabama Course of Study in Technology Education.
In this presentation Dr. Adkins will share his combined perspective from higher education and corporation leadership. SmarterServices employs persons in positions that require degrees in business, marketing, and computer science. He will reflect on lessons learned as an employer in seeking candidates who have been thoroughly prepared in their collegiate experience. Recommendations will be made on how schools can enhance the dialogue between employers and program developers to ensure that our graduates are competent and capable.

Using resources provided, participants will have an opportunity to reflect on the process of initiating these partnerships in their own contexts.
Elementary CurriculaBoth articles highlight the fact that middle.docxtoltonkendal
Elementary Curricula
Both articles highlight the fact that middle-class students seem to benefit more from summer reading programs than their lower-SES peers. While we would hope that summer reading programs would have the same positive impact on all students, this information did not totally surprise me. Differences in funding, materials, and ability to recruit enough high-quality teachers for summer programs could be more difficult in lower-socioeconomic areas. In addition, the articles did not dive into other factors in the students’ lives that may be contributing to their performance such as attendance, how well-rested they are, trauma they have experiences that impacts their ability to focus during instruction, and the impact of being taught by a teacher who the students may not know or have a relationship with. Additionally, there could be a mismatch between the instructional practices and the specific needs of the students. Even though summer reading programs are only for a short time, I would challenge teachers to put energy into getting to know the students and building trust with them. This is a key foundation that is needed for learning to take place.
In challenging teachers during summer program and the regular school year to ”break out of the mold” to create better outcomes for students classified with low SES, in addition to building relationships with students, I would encourage them to build connections with their families. This may involve thinking outside the box and leaving their comfort zone. It could entail holding a parent-teacher conference off campus, closer to their home or in their community. It could also include providing resources and instructional videos to parents so they can help support their children at home. There are many parents who want to support their children academically, but they do not know how and may be uncomfortable asking the teacher for assistance. In addition, I would urge teachers to capitalize on the strengths and interests of their students to engage them in learning activities and provide them with opportunities to shine. We do not have to, and should not, be satisfied with the idea that low SES students will automatically not be able to perform. These students are capable of learning and growth just as much as any other student. I think data from test scores that demonstrate a gap between the performance of students classified as economically disadvantaged and not economically disadvantaged has led some people to hold the belief that students classified as low SES will not perform well. I think the way that school “report card” grades are published also perpetuates this belief, as it shows the test scores, but does not provide an explanation of or include any solutions for the many larger societal factors that contribute to those scores including high teacher turn over, lack of resources, child trauma, lack of sleep, lack of nutrition, crime & safety, and education level of parents.

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.

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.

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.

3. What can we do at the Marriott School of Business to better cultivate meaningful
student connections between individuals in different programs, organizations, class
years, genders, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, and other boundaries without
distracting students from their academic majors?
Problem & Solution
Two-Tiered Solution
1. Short-Term: Joint Marriott School Club Events
2. Long-Term: Interdisciplinary Prerequisite & Management Core Envelope
4. ◾ Biggest struggle: different majors and different class years
◾ Why?:
(1) few opportunities (2) too little time (3) general lack of desire
◾ In the short term, Joint Club Events would
(1) create opportunities for students to meet,
(2) be very light on extra time commitment, and
(3) create external incentives for networking
Executive Summary
◾ In the long term, an Interdisciplinary PreReq and Management Core Envelope would
(1) provide a precedent for inter-major collaboration
(2) allow for deep student connections
5. But how?
We sought the voice of the students
to gain insight to the problem.
- With a survey sample size of 116, we asked
business students what they thought of
networking and what is and is not working in the
Marriott School.
7. Key Problem: Difficulty connecting other
Majors and Class Levels
Two-thirds of Marriott
School students struggle
most to connect with
students in other majors or
class years
8. Key Problem: Lack of Opportunity, Time,
and Desire
Exposure to other students is the biggest barrier to Marriott
School students making meaningful connections with them
Bucket % Examples from Survey
Opportunity 50%
“Never see the
juniors”
“Limited classes
with other majors”
Time 22% “Lack of time” “Too busy”
Desire 21% “I don’t really try” “Lack of desire”
Competition 8%
“Competition to
get job offer”
“Perceived
superiority”
9. How do Marriott School students connect
with others?
The overwhelming majority of
students connect through
Management Core Classes and
Clubs
Question: make current layout
even better at helping students
connect, or create new methods
of interaction?
10. Student Suggestions: Events and Integrated
Activities
*excludes “I don’t know” responses and responses that did not represent a significant portion of total responses
40% of suggestions mentioned
more events, showing that
students believe activities would
lead to better networking
opportunities
Another 28% suggested more
integration of classes or
extracurricular projects
11. Do current ways of connecting distract
students from their academics?
Students are not very
distracted from their studies
by current methods used to
connect with other students
12. Key Issues and Decision Criteria
What can we do at the Marriott School of Business
to better cultivate meaningful student
connections between individuals in different
programs, organizations, class years, genders,
ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, and other
boundaries without distracting students from
their academic majors?
Problem Criteria
Help cultivate meaningful
connections
1. Provide opportunity to
meet diverse students
2. Address the current
lack of desire to network
Not distract from
academic majors
3. Low extra-curricular
time commitment
Low administrative strain
4. Low cost
5. Utilize existing
organizations
13. Recommendations
1. Hold Regular Joint Events Between Clubs
2. Add Interdisciplinary Marriott School-Wide Prerequisite
3. Implement an Envelope System for Management Core Classes
14. Recommendation #1: Short-term – Hold Joint
Club Networking Events
Pros
◾ Explicitly social purpose reduces anxiety and builds goodwill between majors
◾ Food, speakers, mini-case competitions create additional incentive to attend
◾ Leverages existing organizations
◾ Represents low additional time commitment for students, who already participate in club activities
Cons
◾ Networking pool dependent on club membership and attendance
◾ Creates opportunity but not desire; short-term solution
Current Marriott School clubs organize combined events with the explicit purpose of networking with other
Marriott School students. Activities could include keynote speakers, mini case competitions, and info sessions
from students about internship experiences.
15. Recommendation #2: Add an Interdisciplinary
Marriott School-Wide Prerequisite
Pros
◾ Creates precedent for inter-major connections from the very beginning of Marriott experience
◾ Time drain maintained low by creating exclusively in-class curriculum
◾ Fosters desire to connect and collaborate across majors and other barriers
◾ Similar to already-successful format of Management Core
Cons
◾ Logistic difficulties of adding a prerequisite class to Marriott School majors
◾ Possibility of wasted effort on students who choose not to move on to the Marriott School
This interdisciplinary prerequisite would focus on team-based business problem-solving across all fields in the
Marriott School. Students would be exposed to diverse real-world issues and need collaboration to find
solutions.
16. Pros
◾ Every Marriott School student would be able to develop deeper relationships with management core
counterparts
◾ Takes no additional student time
◾ Doesn’t require development of new programs or activitiesCons
◾ Mandatory nature of classes unlikely to increase desire to connect
◾ Difficult to ensure major diversity in classes
Similar to major-specific classes in the Accounting and Finance programs, classes in the Management Core
could be offered in envelope fashion, maintaining the same cohort in each class throughout. Teams would be
maintained for projects across classes as well.
Recommendation #3: Envelope System for
Management Core Classes
18. Implementation Timeline
Create club
leadership council
and start having
joint club events
Fall 2018
Winter 2019
Launch the
interdisciplinary
prerequisite
Fall 2019
Start using the
envelope for the
Management
Core Classes
Winter 2019
Have the envelope
developed for
registration for
fall semester
19. Risks & Mitigation
Risk Mitigation Strategy
Limited networking pool
◾ Make events open to all students of the involved majors independent of club
membership
◾ Require one attendance per semester per student
Students could choose not to
attend networking nights
◾ Invite engaging interdisciplinary speakers to address clubs
◾ Incentivize attendance with food
◾ Hold mini-case competitions with prizes
Students may only network
with similar majors in their
class
◾ Implement group projects that involve an individual from each major
◾ Allow time to collaborate and work together in class

23. Where is the lack of
Desire coming from?
We believe that it extends
from students needs to
do well academically.
Our need for networking is sometimes blocked with
our strong desire to do well academically, based on
our common belief that GPA is most important.
Research by the Harvard Business Review shows that
success comes from many aspects, including both
work, as shown by GPA, and also who you know
through networking. Therefore, both are equally
important in business success. This desire to do well
in school causes us to only participate in things that
will increase our GPA and decreases networking
efforts. Our biggest concern is how we can find a
happy medium--satisfying the need to do well
academically while bringing networking benefits.

24. Is networking
more important
than GPA?
In fact, Ismail & Rasdi, in their
interviews with women in business
agree that “It’s not what you know, it’s
who you know.” But we know we can’t
overlook GPA altogether, so how can
the two work in harmony?
