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

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.

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.
2. 1. The LSAT.
2. Transcripts from Previous School(s).
3. Letters of Recommendation.
4. The Personal Statement.
5. The Resume.
6. Optional Essays and Addenda.
The 6 Components to a
Law School Application:
3. The Law School Admissions Credential service,
more commonly referred to as the LSAC, will be
your go-to website for all six components of your
application.
http://www.lsac.org/jd/applying-to-law-school/lsat-cas-
checklist
In other words, you will apply online to each school
via the LSAC.
They really make it easy on you this way. Fret not.
6 Components; 1 Website
4. Through the LSAC you need to:
1. Create an LSAC account online.
2. Register for the LSAT through LSAC (you also get
your scores through the LSAC).
3. Register for the Credential Assembly Service (CAS).
The CAS will generate a report covering: your
transcripts, recommendations, evaluations, and
applications to each school.
HEADS UP: this report takes awhile to be generated,
so register ASAP.
An LSAC To-Do List
5. The tricky part: unlike many other graduate programs, the
required standardized test for law school admittance, the
LSAT, is only offered four times per year:
June, September/October, December, and February.
This 100% dictates when you can apply.
Most individuals take the LSAT in June and/or the
September (sometimes held in October) and send in
their application directly after doing so.
HINT: statistically it is to your advantage to apply as early as
possible, so plan to take the LSAT well ahead of time and
allow for the possible need for a do-over test (or two).
Pre-Planning is Key With the LSAT
6. That very important piece of paper = your transcript.
Through the CAS (which you registered for via the LSAC) you will
need to print off a form asking any and all of your undergraduate
institutions and places you did graduate work to release and send
in your transcript to the LSAC.
Administrative offices are notoriously busy (and sometimes slow)
so plan well ahead and allow a couple of extra weeks (ideally) for
your transcript to be received and processed by the LSAC.
HINT: check your account on LSAC.org frequently to make sure
everything that needs to be received actually has been.
All That Work From
Undergrad = A Very
Important Piece of Paper
7. You will need 2-3 letters/recommenders total.
Most schools will allow up to 3, so aim for this number.
Contact the individuals you want to be your
recommenders and ask for a meeting in person, if possible.
Ask them if they feel confident in their ability to write you a
good letter. Letters that are not personalized will do you little
good (but are still better than not having enough letters).
If they agree, add their name as a recommender in your
LSAC account. They will receive an automatic email from
the LSAC with instructions for them.
HINT: oftentimes this email gets marked as spam. You can
resend it from your account anytime, so follow up and make
sure it was received.
Letters of Recommendation
8. Waive your right to see the letter via your LSAC account.
Admissions committees feel more confident in seeing a letter
that they know you have not had influence over.
Follow up with your recommenders:
Thank them. Handwritten thank you notes are best.
Offer to send them essays, resumes or anything else that
might make it easier for them to write you a good letter.
Thank them again.
Once you have all of your letters in, assign the
recommenders to each school via your LSAC account.
Letters of Recommendation: Tips
9. This is a 2-3 page document in which you get to, as its title suggests,
get personal with the admissions committee.
It is also an opportunity for you to showcase your writing abilities,
given that most law schools do not allow you to send in writing
samples.
This should be obvious, but you need to proofread this document.
Errors reflect poorly not only on your writing ability, but also your
work ethic.
HINT: studies show one of the best ways to proofread is to read your
documents aloud word by word.
HINT: some schools allow for a maximum of two double-spaced
pages, others allow for three or more pages. More than likely you will
need to create two versions to adapt your statement to these rules.
The Personal Statement
10. Ann Levine, of LawSchoolExpert.com, says it best that
when considering your personal statement, particularly
how to pick a topic, to start by surprising the reader:
“How? By being insightful. Show them something they
wouldn’t have otherwise known or assumed. Share a
surprising or interesting motivation or reaction to
something that is on your resume. Rather than just saying
“I had this internship and then this one…,” show you
learned something from a certain experience. The key
words are: depth, insightfulness, and maturity.”

parts-of-the-law-school-application/
HINT: This is a very helpful blog.
The Personal Statement:
How to Pick a Topic
11. This is your chance to show admissions committees
what you have done with your life (but no pressure).
When in doubt about whether something should be
included on your resume, include it.
That yard work job shows you are not afraid to get your hands
dirty and do tough work.
I.E., you have a work ethic and work ethics are attractive to
admissions committees.
Make sure your formatting looks clean and
professional.
HINT: the best way to achieve this is to make sure your
formatting is consistent.
The Resume
12. You should group into the following sections, with most
recent activities listed last in each grouping:
Education: including grades and dates of attendance and graduation.
Honors: these can be honors received both in and out of school.
Do not assume that committees know what these awards indicate already and
so include brief explanations of what you did in order to receive them.
University Involvement: the activities you participated in during your
time in school.
Include any and all leadership positions held, dates of membership, and brief
descriptions of each activity and position held.
Community Involvement: the activities you did outside of school.
Similar to the university involvement section, include leadership positions,
dates of service (examples: Summer 2014, October 2013-Present), and a brief
description of the activity.
Interests: what you do in your spare time, any unique talents, and skills.
The Resume: Formatting Guidelines
13. Yes, by this point you are likely tired of writing,
but effort = interest in an admissions committees’
eyes.
So complete all optional essays. Set yourself apart
from the pack in this way.
Research each individual school and personalize
your essays to them.
Admissions committees will appreciate you not
wasting their time with an essay (from another
school) that does not directly address their school’s
essay prompt.
Optional Essays
14. Do not be afraid to submit an addendum to your application!
If the application does not have a place for one, email the admissions
office a copy. Make sure to ask for confirmation it was received!
Addendum topics include:
Low LSAT scores; Discrepancies between LSAT scores.
Character and fitness issues (traffic violations often count so check
with each school to see what you need to disclose).
Put facts in each addendum to prove your case.
As examples, if you have a low LSAT score, but a high GPA from
undergrad give your GPA and highlight how that number is more
representative of your abilities in the classroom.
If you got a DUI or have some other character and fitness issue, give
enough information to make clear what happened, describe how you
took responsibility for the incident, what you have done to prevent
the incident from happening again, what you learned from the
experience, and, importantly, back up with facts what a (hopefully)
model citizen you have been since the incident.
Addenda
15. Pat yourself on the back! You have completed a
major undertaking!
Take some time to relax and treat yourself (if time
allows for it).
HINT: do not forget to keep marketing yourself!
Make sure to send in updates to schools if you:
Receive new (good) grades;
Participate in new activities;
Receive awards or honors, etc.
The Most Important Step:
Congratulate Yourself!
