Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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 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.

2. • School improvement planning
is a process through which
schools set goals for
improvement, and make
decisions about how and when
these goals will be achieved.
• The ultimate objective of the
process is to improve student
achievement levels by
enhancing the way curriculum
is delivered, by creating a
positive environment for
learning, and by increasing the
degree to which parents are
involved in their children’s
learning at school and in the
home.
3. What is a school improvement plan?
A school improvement plan is a road map that sets out the
changes a school needs to make and to improve the level of student
achievement, and shows how and when these changes will be made.
School improvement plan focused on three priority areas
• Curriculum Delivery
• School Environment
• Parental Involvement
For each of these areas, schools establish the following:
• a goal statement
• performance targets
• areas of focus
• implementation strategies
• indicators of success
• time lines
• responsibility for implementing strategies
• checkpoints for status updates
• opportunities for revisions
4. School improvement planning involve school planners
• Principal
• Teachers
• School councils
• Parents
• Other community members who participate in the
process
Note:
Each school and school community has unique needs and
characteristics. Schools may find and modify all areas of concerns to
ensure that their final plan reflects their specific needs.
6. 1.
• Know your school’s current situation
2.
• Specify the desired outcomes/plan
3.
• Design and implement an improvement strategy
4.
• Monitor the results
5.
• Evaluating the progress
8. • Curriculum Delivery
Three priority areas
• School Environment
• Parental Involvement
Curriculum is the foundation of the education system. “The expectations… describe the knowledge and skills that
students are expected to develop and to demonstrate in their class work, on tests, and in various other activities on
which their achievement is assessed.”
Effective schools share a set of characteristics that add up to an environment that fosters student achievement.
Parental involvement is one of the most significant factors contributing to a child’s success in school. When parents are
involved in their children’s education, the level of student achievement increases. Students attend school more
regularly, complete more homework in a consistent manner, and demonstrate more positive attitudes towards school.
9. WHO ARE THE PARTNERS IN
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
PLANNING?
10. Everyone involved in or interested in the operation of schools has a role to play in the improvement planning
process.
An effective school improvement plan results when principals, teachers, school councils, parents, and
other community members work as a team to establish priorities, set goals for improvement, implement
strategies to achieve those goals, and evaluate progress.
1. Principal/School Head
Principals are the key players in the school improvement process. They play a wide variety of roles to ensure that the
improvement plan and its implementation are successful. One of their most important responsibilities is to ensure that
improvement plans reflect the characteristics of their own school and its community.
Principals’ roles in school improvement planning fall into three main categories
COMMUNICATION (Principal should)
• clearly explain the school improvement planning process to staff, school councils, parents, and other community
members
• help staff, school councils, parents, and other community members understand their role in the process and invite them
to participate
• provide the community with a school “profile” detailing the nature and characteristics of the school
• ensure that everyone involved in the process receives regular communications about the improvement plan and the
school’s progress
• communicate the final school plan to all members of the school’s community.
11. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (Principal should)
• encourage staff to lead the development and implementation of the plan
• provide leadership and professional development/training opportunities to staff, school council members, parents, and other
community members involved in the process, and support them in developing and implementing the plan
• establish professional development goals with staff that focus on the goals and strategies in the school improvement plan
• ensure that professional development activities that focus on achieving the school’s improvement goals are part of every staff
meeting.
LEADERSHIP (Principal should)
• develop and circulate a parent survey to provide parents with an opportunity to describe their feelings about the school and the
ways in which they would like to be involved in their children’s education, and ensure that parents have adequate time to
respond to the survey
• tally the results of the parent survey and provide it to those involved in the planning process to help them determine the goal
for enhancing the level of parental involvement
• regularly collect classroom information on student achievement, use this information in discussions with teachers about
adjusting and improving their teaching strategies, and ensure that this information is also used by those developing the school
improvement plan
• lead school improvement planning meetings of staff, school councils, parents, and other community members
• regularly assess staff’s implementation of the school improvement plan
• provide support and ongoing professional development for staff members as they pursue the strategies set out in the plan
• ensure that the school budget reflects and supports the plan’s goals and implementation strategies
• continually gather information on student achievement and communicate it to the school’s community as part of the plan’s
monitoring and evaluation process.
12. 2. Teachers
The person who has the greatest impact on students during the school day—the teacher—plays several critical roles in the school
improvement planning process.
Teachers should:
• actively participate and assume leadership roles in establishing priorities, setting goals, and formulating implementation strategies for the
plan
• work closely with school councils and parents to implement the plan
• ensure that classroom strategies for improvement address the needs of students at all levels of learning
• assess students in a variety of ways and develop strategies for improving the level of student achievement
• support the evaluation of the plan by providing up-to-date information on student learning, the school environment, and parental feedback
• set and pursue professional development goals that focus on the goals and strategies identified in the plan.
3. School councils, parents, and other community members
school councils should:
• participate in establishing priorities and setting goals and strategies for school improvement
• regularly encourage parents and other community members to participate in the improvement planning process
• review the school’s progress in implementing the plan with the principal
• discuss the plan’s goals and provide updates on the school’s progress at council meetings and in the council’s
communications with the community
• work in consultation with the school’s principal to build partnerships with social service agencies, recreation departments
and facilities, community groups, businesses, and industries to help implement the plan.
13. 4. Students
Students should:
• participate in setting goals and strategies
• help communicate the plan to the student body
• communicate the plan to their parents
• participate in strategies to reach the school’s goals.
17. 1.
One action team is formed for each of the three priority areas. Action teams usually have fewer members than the
planning team, but those who were involved in determining the school’s priorities should be invited to join an action
team and can be made up of the entire original group of staff, school council members, parents, other community
members, and students who sat on the planning team, or only a representative.
2.
• Setting Goals
• Forming action team
3.
• Setting performance targets
The first task of each action team is to create a goal statement. Goal statements are general statements that focus on
improving the level of student achievement. They are: • based on solid background information • written in easy-to-
read language • measurable. All members of the action team must agree on the goal statement.
Performance targets are also measurable statements that indicate the level at which the school would like to be
performing on a given goal by a given time.
18. 4.
To establish areas of focus, action team members will need to look at available background information and be able to
develop specific strategies to achieve their goals.
5.
• Developing strategies
6.
• Establishing indicators of success
• Defining a focus
To begin developing strategies, action teams should answer the following question: • What specific actions are we
going to take to improve in this area?
Indicators of success provide schools with standards against which they can measure their progress towards their
improvement goals.
19. 7.
Action teams must look closely at each strategy they are suggesting to determine the most suitable time to begin work
on that strategy, as well as the duration of the strategy. Team members should keep in mind that the plan is a three-
year plan, and that change takes time.
8.
• Establishing responsibilities
9.
• Status updates
• Establishing time lines
The action teams’ proposals for responsibility will also have to be reviewed by the principal, staff, and school council,
to ensure that the proposals are reasonable and that everyone understands his or her responsibilities within the plan.
To sustain change, schools need to ensure that staff, parents, and students continue to focus on the plan’s goals, that
the strategies are being implemented, and that everyone involved is receiving the support he or she needs.
21. 1.
Principals, staff, and school councils should consider making changes to the daily timetable to support the plan’s goals
and strategies. Changes to the timetable convey the message that the school is serious about change.
2.
• Informing and supporting staffs
• Changing procedures
3.
• Informing and supporting school councils
A status update on the school improvement plan should be on the agenda of every staff meeting. Monthly updates will
communicate the importance of the plan and provide a focus for the activities related to its implementation
School councils also need regular status updates on the school improvement plan. These updates should be on the
agenda of every school council meeting, for the same reasons that they should be on staff meeting agendas—to
communicate the plan’s importance and to provide a continuing focus on its implementation.
4.
Principals are responsible for advising parents and the entire school community about the plan, its goals, strategies,
and time lines. All parents should receive a copy of the plan.
• Informing the community
23. 1.
schools should form an evaluation team for each of the three priority areas: curriculum delivery, school environment,
and parental involvement
2.
• Collecting data
• Forming evaluation teams
3.
• Conducting a year-end evaluation
schools continue to gather data, comparing them to the original material.
Year-end is an appropriate time to assess and, if necessary, refocus the plan.
