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.

2. Abstract
Proprietary and Confidential.
• 2 studies examined the impact of ABCmouse.com Early
Learning Academy on the acquisition of literacy and math
skills
• In Study 1 (2013-14), all participating pre-k students were
identified as at risk for school failure. Students completing
more ABCmouse learning activities evidenced greater
academic gains than those who completed fewer activities.
• Study 2 (2014-15) followed the pre-k sample into
kindergarten with a quasi-experimental design,
demonstrating that regular ABCmouse use helped
accelerate kindergarten growth in literacy and math across
multiple assessments.

3. Participants
Proprietary and Confidential.
STUDY 1
• Children from 12 public school district pre-k (DPK)
classrooms in Tupelo, MS
• 51% girls, 49% boys
• Enrollment prioritized for children at risk of school failure
based on pretest scores, English language learners,
children with developmental disabilities/delays, and/or
children living in poverty or homelessness.

4. Participants
Proprietary and Confidential.
STUDY 2
• 571 kindergarten students in Tupelo, MS
• 210 were students from Study 1
• 361 did not attend public pre-k (non-DPK)
• 33 classrooms from 4 elementary schools

5. Design & Procedure
Proprietary and Confidential.
STUDY 1
• Naturalistic Design: DPK students had varying usage of
ABCmouse during the school year.
• The school district tested students at the beginning and
end of the school year with the nationally validated Early
Prevention of School Failure (EPSF) assessment.
5
6. Design & Procedure
Proprietary and Confidential.
STUDY 2
• Quasi-experimental Design: district assigned 2 elementary
schools full access to ABCmouse for the entire school
year (Full-access Group).
• The other 2 schools in the district received restricted
access to ABCmouse, including no access to most
ABCmouse literacy activities for the first half of the year,
and full access to the entire ABCmouse curriculum for the
second half (Restricted-access Group).
• Students tested at the beginning, middle, and end of the
school year with the Classworks4 and STAR5
assessments, and with the DIBELS6 at the end of the
school year. 6
7. ABCmouse Usage
Proprietary and Confidential.
• Full-access Group not only had greater access to the full
ABCmouse curriculum but also completed many more
ABCmouse learning activities, especially literacy activities,
than the Restricted-access Group.
• When Restricted-access Group switched to the full
ABCmouse curriculum in the 2nd half of the school year,
the 2 groups completed similar numbers of learning
activities.
• “Regular usage” refers to access type and higher usage of
the Full-access Group; “limited usage” refers to limited
access and lower usage of Restricted access Group.
7
8. Results: Finding 1
Proprietary and Confidential.
The more ABCmouse learning activities a student completed,
the greater his or her kindergarten readiness score at the end of
pre-k, indicating a reduction in the level of risk for school failure.
• Students who completed at least 35 activities (median
activities completed) during pre-k demonstrated an additional
65% gain on the EPSF assessment than those who completed
fewer than 35 activities, and there was no statistically
significant difference in the students’ pretest scores
administered before the pre-k year ( see Figure 1).
8
10. Results: Finding 2
Proprietary and Confidential.
Regular ABCmouse usage in kindergarten predicted students’
learning gains in literacy and math skills.
• While students in the Full-access Group started in Fall with
slightly lower scores on the Classworks assessment than
the Restricted-access Group, they demonstrated an
additional 120% gain on early literacy skills from Fall to
Winter, compared to students in the Restricted-access
Group (see Figure 2).
• Students in the Full-access Group also showed an
additional 150% gain on early mathematics skills,
compared to students in the Restricted-access Group (
see Figure 3). There was no group difference in Fall
scores on early mathematics skills.
10
15. Results: Finding 3
Proprietary and Confidential.
The number of ABCmouse learning activities completed over
both school years was a strong predictor of literacy and math
outcomes.
ABCmouse use over both school years reliably predicted
students’ literacy and and math performance at the end of
kindergarten, after controlling for effects of age, DPK
enrollment, and ABCmouse access type in kindergarten.
The multiple linear regression model on literacy outcomes
predicts that for each 100 additional ABCmouse learning
activities completed over both school years, students would
realize an increase of .03 points on the DIBELS composite
score, 9 points on the STAR Literacy, and 3 points on the
Classworks Reading (see Table 1).
