This presentation discusses the role of tutors in providing personalized academic and socioemotional support to students. It begins by outlining the history of tutoring dating back to ancient Greece. The document then discusses how tutors can provide continuity between school and home, help students build confidence and independence, and enhance metacognitive skills. It also covers topics like how the brain works, managing stress and anxiety, cultivating a growth mindset, and achieving a state of "flow" during learning. The overall message is that tutors play an important role in supporting students' academic and personal development in a highly individualized way.

Brave New Worlds: The Gifted, Gaming and Social MediaMorgan Appel
Social media is ubiquitous and pervasive in our daily existence, but its fluid, magnetic and at times chaotic nature affects the gifted and talented in distinctive ways. Brave New Worlds offers a robust synopsis of the dynamic roles played by social media in the lives of students, educators and families, including advocacy and policymaking; access and equality; and acquisition of resources for academic and metacognitive support.
Impacts of social media use on mental and physical well-being; cognitive and socioemotional development; creativity and critical thinking; perfectionism/impostor syndrome; dual exceptionality; cultivating resilience and growth mindset; technology overuse/addiction; among others will also be explored.

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.

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

3. Ancient Acumen
for the 21st
Century
Along with
success comes a
reputation for
wisdom.
-- Euripides
(480 – 406 bc)
4. Began as informal and semi-/unstructured
educational assistance that dates back to
Ancient Greece (Socrates and Aristotle)
Throughout the centuries, roles played by
tutors have become increasingly diverse
and differentiated—but always remain
student centered and highly personalized.
5. Provide continuity between school and home, serving as a
bridge and de facto advisor to parents (synergies)
Provide dedicated academic, behavioral, metacognitive and
socioemotional support (personalization)
Working with children and young adults to inspire a growth
mindset—engaging learning fearlessly and building confidence
through competence (dedication)
Providing opportunities for tutees to become gradually more
independent (transition) and manifold opportunities for success
(reputation)
6. Intuitive pedagogy (art and science)
Artistic approach (creative/process/epiphany)
Ability to attend to unique cognitive and affective
needs (diversificantur in extremis)
Serve as a guide across the Zone of Proximal
Development (ZPD) rather than as a transporter of
content (enhanced access to sophistication)
Bolster metacognitive aptitudes (sound habits of
mind that are transferable across disciplines)
Enhance resiliency and self belief (motivate)
8. 1. The brain is a complex adaptive system.
2. The brain is a social brain.
3. The search for meaning is innate.
4. The search for meaning occurs through patterning.
5. Emotions are critical to patterning.
6. Every brain simultaneously perceives and creates parts and wholes.
7. Learning involves both focused attention and peripheral attention.
8. Learning always involves conscious and unconscious processes.
9. We have at least two ways of organizing memory.
10.Learning is developmental.
11.Complex learning is enhanced by challenge and inhibited by threat.
12.Every brain is uniquely organized.

10. Brain Bits: In Support
of theTortured
Adolescent
In most adolescents, the part of
the brain that processes
emotions (the limbic system) is
fully operational, whereas the
regions responsible for thinking,
reflecting and controlling
emotional response (located in
the prefrontal cortex) are still
developing.
This is why many middle school
students overtly display
emotions inappropriately in the
classroom (through pained
sighs, rolling eyes and blank
looks).
A fully developed prefrontal
cortex enables most adults to
consciously dampen their
emotions.
Source: ascd.org
11. Positive feelings about a
learning experience produce
endorphins (euphoria) and
dopamine (stimulates the
prefrontal cortex)
Negative feelings about a
learning experience produce
adrenaline and cortisol –which
puts the brain in survival mode
and causes anxiety
Positive and negative feedback
work the same way Consider your role as a tutor
12. Free will versus determinism (core beliefs)
Static intelligence v. developed intelligence
Handling challenges (comfort zones)
Obstacles (perceptions/persistence/going

Criticism (ignore versus learn from)
Success of Others (threat versus inspiration)

15. Stress is the body’s general response to any
intense physical, emotional or mental demand
placed on it by self or by others.
Stress in and of itself is not bad (in some
cases, it involves levels of excitement in
engaging in an enjoyable activity, including
falling in love).

16. ThreeTypes of Stress
(Center on the
Developing Child,
Harvard University)
Toxic Stress has detrimental
long-term mental and physical
consequences. Prolonged
exposure to toxic stress
disrupts brain architecture and
impacts other organs. Other
consequences include higher
risk for stress related diseases
and cognitive impairment later
in life.
Considering what we know
about the brain and fixed
versus growth mindset, what
can we discern about school
and the neurochemistry of
repetition or avoidance?
What are your roles as a tutor
in addressing the presence of
toxic stress?

21. Take stress and anxieties
seriously (no matter how
young—even though they are
‘just kids’)
Handling stress is a learned
skill like manners
Mindfulness training (please
see my Slideshare for a PPT on
this subject)
Remind children that their
anxieties do not define them
and that taking action—
though scary—is much easier
than living with constant
anxieties
Explain how stress works and
its purposes (the more you
know)
Do not hide stress.
Acknowledge it and deal with it
(de-stigmatize)
Be a good model in handling
stress
Work to identify the root
causes of stress (categorized:
school, home, other)
Cultivate resilience and
formulation of realistic
expectations
22. Incorporate humor as much as
is possible: laugh at your
situation
Talk to others: Misery, in many
cases, loves company—always
better to know others contend
with the same thing
Adequate sleep (note the
adequate)
Spend time with energy
boosters (people, that is)
Seek help when it is needed.
Take care of your body:
nutrition and exercise makes an
impressive (and neurochemical)
difference. Run it out.
Use positive self talk—realistic
and assuring.You’ve handled
worse before and you will get
through this.
Help others and wind up helping
yourself. Shift the focus.
Schedule time for relaxation
and understand its purposes—
not a ‘guilty pleasure’ but
absolutely needed!
23. Balance between individual’s ability and level of difficulty in
the challenge (cannot be too easy or difficult or flow cannot
occur).
Goals should be clear. Expectations are foreseen and goals are
attainable.
High degree of concentration in a limited field of attention—
person should be able to focus and become deeply engaged in
the activity.
A loss of self-consciousness is experienced (unaware of self
and what the self is doing).
Sense of time transcendence (subjective experience of time is
altered—passes quickly/slowly/slow motion)
24. When in the flow state,
the brain is actively
seeking out information
from multiple sources
to engage in problem
solving activities.
That is where motivation,
Persistence and creativity
make their homes.
That is FLOW.
How might you inspire it
with your tutees?
25. Mitigate anxieties by providing ‘bite-sized’
opportunities for success in promoting a growth
mindset
Enhance clarity around content and metacognition
(reduce ambiguity/anxiety)
Be explicit about growth mindset (in terms of
neuroscience and process) and ways to foster
independence
Use strategies that enhance both flow and resiliency
Use praise that supports growth mindset (specificity
and process)
