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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. 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.

Creativity
“The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn't
need to be reformed -- it needs to be transformed. The key to this
transformation is not to standardise education, but to
personalise it, to build achievement on discovering the individual
talents of each child, to put students in an environment where
they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their
true passions.”
“Creativity is as
important as
literacy”
― Ken Robinson

63. Leadership
Those at the top look down
and see only shit, whilst
those at the bottom look
up and only ass-holes.
64. Servant Leadership
Traditional leadership generally involves the accumulation and
exercise of power by one at the “top of the pyramid.”
The servant-leader shares power, puts the needs of others
first and helps people develop and perform at a high level.
Servant leadership builds better organisations and ultimately
creates a more just and caring world.
Servant leaders make sure that other people’s needs are
being served.
65. Servant Leadership……
Listens effectively to others.
!
Understand others’ feelings and perspectives.
!
Fosters each person’s emotional and spiritual health and wholeness.
!
Understands his or her own values and feelings, strengths and weaknesses.
!
Influences others through their persuasiveness.
!
Integrates present realities and future possibilities.
!
Understands how the past, present, and future are connected.
!
Holds an organisation’s resources in trust for the greater good.
!
Responsible for serving the need of others and creating a sense of community among people
66. Transformational Leadership
Leaders inspire followers with their vision for the future
!
All staff strive towards common agreed goals
!
Leaders show concern for staff individual needs
!
Leaders challenge staff to improve
!
High Performance Expectations: Leaders promote excellence
Leaders lead by example in the way they conduct themselves and live
their lives in the manner that they would like their followers to do
67. Distributed Leadership
Distributed Leadership is a leadership approach where
collaborative working is the focus, a bottom up more than
a top down model of working together. It works best in
an open culture of collaboration and trust. It is most
effective when staff see themselves as, and are allowed
to be genuine leaders in their area of expertise.
Distributed leadership develops the leadership capacity of
all staff resulting in improvements in teaching and
learning.
