Leurs motivations pour participer à l’atelier : une méthodologie pour des résultats durables
Spontanément, ils déclarent avoir des objectifs et des attentes multiples privilégiant logiquement la recherche d’information sur les RPS (27%), la découverte de notre méthode de travail (24%), l’information sur des outils pour comprendre et résoudre leur problématique (23%) et la rencontre de pairs pour partager et échanger sur ces sujets (23%).
Plus précisément, ils viennent pour découvrir notre méthodologie qui associe la résolution de problème à la prévention RPS. Autrement dit, face à l’obligation de résultat qui incombe à l’entreprise en matière de prévention RPS, les RH et managers concernés cherchent avant tout des solutions de résolution et de prévention efficaces, avec des résultats durables.
La dimension de rencontre (avec des homologues ou avec les intervenants de LACT) complètent également leurs motivations.
Un quart d’entre eux s’attendent vraiment à travailler le problème qui les préoccupe au cours de l’atelier, ce qui est rendu possible par l’intervenant, soit au cours de la table ronde, soit au cours du cas analysé et commenté, soit au cours de l’entretien individuel téléphonique, quelques jours après l’atelier.
100% des participants intéressés par le contenu de nos ateliers… et presque tous convaincus…
Tous les participants ont exprimé avoir été intéressés par le contenu (100%), et l’ont dit majoritairement avec enthousiasme (oui, tout-à-fait : 56%).
Ils témoignent d’une très bonne adéquation entre le contenu de l’atelier (thème, cas choisis et illustrés, façon d’aborder les RPS) et leurs préoccupations professionnelles, ainsi que d’un très bon niveau de compétence et d’expertise de la part des intervenants (les trois quart le qualifient d’excellent).
Au delà des préoccupations de prévention qui les concernent tous, ils apparaissent très largement convaincus que LACT puisse répondre à leurs besoins, et plus nettement encore en matière de résolution de troubles RPS.
En matière de résolution de problème
Ce sont pour des situations de stress post-traumatiques, de harcèlement, de stress plus général et, dans une moindre mesure, de burn-out que les participants évaluent notre méthodologie de travail pouvant leur être utile dans leurs fonction aujourd’hui. Des situations vis-à-vis desquelles, au delà des outils existants, les DRH ou managers semblent encore relativement démunis, en termes de résultats effectifs et durables.
En matière de prévention
La prévention du stress et la formation des managers restent également les deux sujets sur lesquels notre méthodologie de travail peut leur être utile dans leur fonction aujourd’hui. Ce sont des portes d’entrée assez naturelles et pragmatiques pour envisager la prévention RPS.
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.

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

the material that supports it is changing only slowly”
(Horizon Report, 2009).
Students are digital natives and we need to
develop our instruction to meet today’s students. We
cannot continue to teach the way we have always
taught. Our students demand we move technology to
the forefront of our instruction.
24. Evaluation is a continuous, ongoing process. This
process is both informal and formal. The
Technology Plan is fluid and may change as the
district’s needs change.
Evaluate the Plan to see what is working and for what
is not working and revise if needed.
Campus Technologists, Teachers, Librarians, and
Principals will provide feedback in multiple forms via
email, reports, surveys or at meetings.
Monthly meetings and training for technologists and
librarians are to review best practices at each campus.
Technologists and Librarians will have the opportunity
to share problems, requests and ideas.
Changes to the plan occur as an ongoing process and
changes can be made at any time. (SMCISD Technology Plan for 2012-2015).
25. Teachers will complete the required STAR Chart.
Answers to the STAR chart will provide starting points for improvement.
Students will be assessed annually on their level of technology
skills achievement.
Student keyboarding skills will be assessed annually.
Student products will be used to evaluate the effective use of technology
along with teacher lesson plans.
Records of staff member participation in training will be kept in a
professional development database.
Reports from the online technology staff development Web site will be
pulled on a regular basis and used on the teacher’s summative
evaluation.
Quarterly inventory of hardware will be done as need to evaluate
equipment needs.
Support and maintenance of technology is documented by technical
support records.
Annual budgeting process provides an opportunity to review all
associated costs for relevance, quality of results, and continued
need.
Campus feedback and self reporting will also be part of the evaluation
process. (SMCISD Technology Plan for 2012-2015).
