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.

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.

“WorkKeys gave me confidence to show my skills to
employers and technical colleges. I took the assessment
and knew exactly what I had to score to be accepted into a
welding program. WorkKeys showed me my areas of
strength and the areas I needed to focus on to improve.” --
-- Mark, Jobseeker from Ohio
“One thing we hear from employers a lot is that they
appreciate the fact that an individual took the initiative to
earn the credential. We try to talk to every job seeker who
comes in to tell them that it’s an excellent résumé builder.”
-- Ginger Powell of the Northwest Tennessee Workforce Board

occupational profiles databases available. Extensive
research has been done on these jobs to identify the
essential skills and skill levels for employee selection,
hiring, and training.”
-- Union County (SC) Chief Academic Officer Cindy Langley
