Speaker: Ms Juliet Houghton – Country Director CHIVA South Africa
Risk activities in adolescents are a pervasive and costly problem for all societies, despite many efforts to reduce or prevent these through diverse intervention programmes. This presentation seeks to unpack what the leading adolescent risk behaviours are, why these occur, and what strategies have been successfully tried and tested to mitigate negative behaviours.
Through the examination of strategies to build resilience in young people (historically an educational intervention), Ms Houghton will argue that by shifting our focus from ‘negative’ aspects of risk and focusing on skills development opportunities with young people, young people will be better able to manage their lives, including risk situations.
Examples will be drawn primarily from an HIV/sexual health perspective for the purpose of discussion and debate. Participants will be encouraged to share experiences of successes and challenges.
Presentation delivered by Graham Russell, Head, Centre of Expertise on Influencing Behaviours, Defra, at Communicate, 3rd November 2011, as part of the Psychology of Persuasion session Communicate is hosted by the Bristol Natural History Consortium www.communicatenow.org

Chapter 6: Family Influences
Role and Function of Families
Families play a significant role in the lives of most older persons
When family is not involved it generally is because the older person has no living relatives nearby or there have been long standing relationship problems
Families
Several demographics and social trends have affected families abilities to provide support
Increasing aging population
Living arrangements
Disability and activity (limitations in ADLs and IADLs)
Decrease in birth rate
Increase in employment of women
Mobility of families (live in different city or state)
Increase in blended families
Older adults providing as well as receiving support
The state of the senior housing industry
Caregiver workplace issues (missing work)
Late Life Family Issues
Some of the most common issues and difficult decisions families face include:
Changes in living arrangements
Nursing facility placement
Financial and legal concerns
End of life health care decisions
See Table 6.2 on page 95: Common End of Life Documents
Vehicle driving issues
Table 6.3 on page 96: Online Resources for Older Adults who Drive
Family caregiving
See Table 6.1 on page 94: Internet Resources
Changes in Living Arrangements
Older family member begins to have problems living alone
Family members are often emotionally torn between allowing a person to be as independent as possible and creating a more secure environment
It can be particularly frustrating when a family knows an older relative has difficulty functioning independently yet refuses to accept help in the home
See Box 6 – 2 and 6 – 3 on pages 93 and 94
Should I move my parents into my home
Questions to consider when moving from independent living to a supervised living facility
Nursing Facility Placement
Many older people need help with things such as:
Housekeeping
Meals laundry
Transportation
Continuing care retirement community (CCRC)
Restaurants
Pools
Fitness centers
Spas
Assisted living
Financial and Legal Concerns
Paying for long term care
Helping an older person who has problems managing money
Many families do not discuss finances before a crisis and then it is often too late
Hesitate to discuss financial concerns for fear of appearing overly interested in inheritance
End of Life Care Decisions
The main interests of patients nearing the end of life are pain and symptom control, financial and health decision planning, funeral arrangements, being at peace with God, maintaining dignity and cleanliness and saying goodbye

How do we protect our ecological restoration investments for the long-term? This workshop will guide managers through “climate-smart” restoration efforts, efforts that restore for future conditions in addition to past conditions. In this workshop we will interactively apply impacts of climate change from the most current scientific findings to examples of restoration efforts from throughout the Great Lakes while providing you with the tools to become “climate-smart.”

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.

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.
