This document discusses ways to promote inclusion in design and education. It emphasizes that every decision is a design decision that can include or exclude people, and that language, structures, experiences, and interactions all impact inclusion. It encourages considering power dynamics, accessibility guidelines, and asking how decisions can be made easier to see, use, understand and work for everyone. The key message is that inclusion requires ongoing reflection on who benefits and is impacted by design choices, not checklists or perfection, in order to maintain a human-centered approach.
No matter if you just have colleagues or organize people as a team lead or senior developer: There are some mechanics that apply to any mentally healthy human being and that have to be taken into consideration when you want to achieve good results as a team. This talk tries to give you a easy but valid introduction to some scientific findings about the nuts and bolts of brains and souls of the biggest investment your company probably has made: your teams.

This session will explore how to use a simple personality assessment to help us know our students, and for them to understand themselves. This tool provides us with a common language that we can use with our students (and in our own personal and professional life!) Explore how understanding personality can increase mutual respect, reduce conflict with others, and improve communication skills.
Personality, Leadership, and Emotional Intelligence: Strategies and Assessments
Learning objective: Explore the benefits of emotional intelligence
Is your personality and leadership style helping or hurting you? Some studies have shown that emotional intelligence is a better predictor of success than technical or intellectual capacity. Effective leaders invest in a lifelong journey of self- assessment and learning. Not only must they understand the business environment, challenges, and opportunities associated with growth, they also need understanding of how his/her personality, skills, experiences impact people and contribute to goal attainment. Leaders must work on capacity to manage self, have a positive
outlook, and effectively recognize the needs of others. As the complexity of interactions
change, more leaders are forced to use emotional intelligence to cultivate viable relationships with customers and employees. Join us as we assess varying levels of emotional intelligence and explore unique personal skills that will help you continue to develop as a leader.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Assess current level of emotional intelligence
b. Explore concepts of personality and habits
c. View scenarios and case studies to identify emotionally intelligent strategies
d. Examine the levels of emotional intelligent leadership
Wayfinding design that supports cognitive diversity - Open Inclusion 240402019Christine Hemphill
A presentation from Open Inclusion on designing wayfinding for people with hidden impairments from the April session of the Sign Design Society in London. Our presentation focussed most heavily on considerations and a methodology to design effectively for neuro-diverse users.
The presentation will introduce you to the different ways teachers can help learners to be better prepared for life in the 21st century. There are many ideas which teachers are already using every day such as Global Awareness and Cross Curricular Skills, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Communication and Collaboration. The author of the presentation reflects on how we can develop such skills while teaching English to our students.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

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.

AllofitMatters.pptx
1. All of it Matters
What does it mean to teach from an inclusive perspective?
How do you start?
What matters most?
How do you *do* inclusion fairly?
Jess Mitchell, IDRC @ OCADU; CC-BY
2. Which one of the following 5 is least like the
others?
Cow, tiger, snake, bear, dog
7. Every single decision is a Design decision
• It can include
• It can exclude
• It can contribute to inequity
8. Design has a unique ability to
dignify. It can make people feel
valued, respected, honoured, and
seen.
And this is both the opportunity
and responsibility of design.
- John Cary, architect
12. Kinds of ways we can impact Inclusion
• Architectural
• Structures can enable/limit
• Experiential
• Access/invitation/subtle messages
• Interactional
• Love patches/painful scars
16. Guidelines, specifications, best practices,
tests, lists…
• The dangers of perfection, completeness and permanence
• “We checked all the boxes, it must be your fault”
• The dangers of checklists
• Losing sight of the humanity
18. - it isn’t ever complete
- it’s like bathing, you gotta keep doing it*
- it’s a value, never a checklist
- measure it by seeing how inextricable it
is in everything you do
Inclusive
19. Where do you make design decisions?
• Syllabus
• Pedagogy
• Individual goals and definitions of success
20. How Can I Do This?
• think about the edge | outliers and wonder how you impacted them
• can you let the student decide – personalize and humanize education
• think about design decisions — brilliant or exclusionary
• Worry about getting it wrong
21.
22. IQ: Which one of the following 5 is least like the
others?
Cow, tiger, snake, bear, dog
39. Ways to think about Inclusion
• POUR (WCAG – Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)
• Perceivable – think of the senses
• Operable – keyboard, mouse, touch, iris
• Understandable – who does this make sense to??
• Robust – does this work with other technologies, open standards?
40. Or Ask:
• How can I make this:
• EASIER TO SEE
• EASIER TO USE
• EASIER TO UNDERSTAND
• JUST WORK
