An agenda outlines the contents of an upcoming meeting. It informs members of what will be discussed so they can prepare. A well-structured agenda keeps a meeting on track and ensures all important topics are covered in the allotted time. It typically includes the meeting date, time, location, items to discuss, presenters for each item, and time allotted for each. Providing a clear agenda in advance improves meeting effectiveness and productivity.

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.
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

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Agenda

2. WHAT IS AN AGENDA?
DEFINITION:
Agenda is a document that outlines the contents
of a forthcoming meeting.
It is usually sent along with the notice of the
meeting. Sometimes the agenda is prepared after the
circulation of the notice in order to enable the members
to get included in the agenda any time that they would
like to be discussed at the meeting.

6. VARIOUS IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS OF AGENDA:
• It forces the meeting leader or group to think out
what need to be accomplished.
• Provided ahead of time, the agenda lets people
know what to expect and allows them to prepare
as necessary.
• It provides a blueprint or path for the meeting to
follow.
• It reminds people of what there is left to cover if
time gets to be an issue.
7. Creating an effective agenda is one of the
most important elements for a productive
meeting. Here are some reasons why the meeting
agenda is so imporatant.
The Agenda:
communicates important information such as:
1. Topics for discussion
2. Presenter or discussion leader for each topic
8. 3. Time allotment for each topic provides
an outline for the meeting (how long to
spend on which topics)can be used as a
checklist to ensure that all information is
covered lets participants know what will
be discussed if it's distributed before the
meeting. This gives them an opportunity
to come to the meeting prepared for the
upcoming discussions or decisions.
provides a focus for the meeting (the
objective of the meeting must be clearly
stated in the agenda)
9. One of the keys to a great meeting is following a
set agenda. Depending on your needs, there are
different meeting agenda formats. Stay organized
by learning which meeting agenda format is best
for your next meeting.
Purpose of Meeting Agendas
The main purpose of meeting agendas is to keep
the meeting focused. The agenda is basically an
outline of all topics that need to be covered during
the course of the meeting. In addition, there is
typically a set amount of time in which to cover
each topic in order to have a more
productive, faster meeting. When given in
advance, meeting participants have time to
prepare any questions or comments before the
meeting. Below, you'll find some common
meeting agenda formats you can utilize.
10. FORM OF AGENDA:
The Agenda is usually headed with the date, time and location of the
meeting, by a series of points outlining the order of the meeting.
Points on a typical AGENDA may include:
Welcome/Open meeting
Support for absence
Approve minutes of the previous meeting
11. Matters arising from the previous meeting
A list of specific points to be discussed
Arrange/announce details of the next meeting
Tea and Biscuits
Close meeting

15. How to Create an Effective Agenda
You're responsible for planning your project meeting this month. Arrggh!!
What to do? Now you understand how important an agenda is to the effectiveness of
the meeting, but don't know how to create one. Breathe easy! All you have to do is
follow the steps outlined below.
1. Send an e-mail stating there will be a meeting, the goal of the meeting as well as the
administrative details such as when and where it will be. Ask those invited to accept
or decline the meeting. Make it clear that once they have accepted the meeting, they
are expected to attend.
2. Ask participants requesting an agenda item to contact you no less than two days
before the meeting with their request and the amount of time they will need to
present it.
16. 3. Once all of the agenda requests have been submitted to you, summarize them in
a table format with the headings Agenda Item, Presenter and Time. It's your
responsibility to ensure that each agenda item is directly related to the goals of this
particular meeting. If an inappropriate request is made, suggest that person send an
e-mail or memo instead or recommend that this agenda item be discussed in
another meeting. Also, you must be realistic in the amount of time you allocate to
each presenter. Don't cram an unrealistic number of agenda items into an hour
meeting. When people accept an hour meeting, they expect to be finished in an
hour. When meetings go over time, people generally tend to get uneasy. It's better
to schedule 50 minutes of discussion into an hour time slot. This way you have 10
minutes to spare and if you get done a little early, people will be pleased.
17. 4. Send the agenda to all the meeting participants the day before the meeting with a
reminder of the meeting goals, location, time and duration. At this time, ask the
presenters if they are happy with the order in which they will be speaking and the
amount of time they have been allocated.
5. Of course, the most important part of creating an effective agenda is to follow it
during the meeting!
