Mentoring for Today’s Generation(s) at Scale: Virtual and Face-to-FaceEDUCAUSE
Mentoring relationships come in many forms--online, in-person, short- and long-term, peer- to-peer, and situational. We'll review mentoring in a multi-generational workforce and explore two mentoring models that can be adapted to fit your organization and serve professionals at various career stages. Model 1 is an international virtual mentoring program that uses data analytics to match participants and digital badging to recognize mentor/mentee achievements. Model 2 uses a just-in-time, conference-centered approach to connecting professionals across career stages. For each model, we'll discuss benefits and barriers and action steps for launching mentoring initiatives that support diverse learners.
here we explain the role of the 4 C's, collaboration, critical thinking,creativity and communication in the 21st century skills. we explain their iportance and their application in the classroom.

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.

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

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

Editor's Notes
This morning I want to get us thinking about the role of foreign language ed in job readiness, improving dialogue between education and industry, how we want others to see for. Language and our role in promoting it.. Then I will close with the mention of K-12 LSP models and LSP resources.
So….How ready are our students after graduation? And how can better prepare them for jobs of the future?
Looking at headlines in recent industry and govt. reports, employers seem to have some concerns about meeting demands of the 21st century workplace.
To remain competitive, Industry HAS to respond faster to a more globally connected economy, while many educational institutions are resisting the need for change, or are responding very slowly.
An article in the Chronicle a few weeks ago addresses this problem of employers and educators not being on the same page in terms of needed skill sets for graduates. Critical thinking & problem-solving over majors Communication & intercultural skills Ethical judgment & openness to learningOutcomes and practical application over
as foreign language educators How can we bridge the gap to meet the demands of the changing workplace? Change student perception of the value of for. Lang. in their personal and professional lives by providing them with real world connections through the local community or virtually across borders.While institutions are slow to respond to needed change, we as individual teachers can become more conscious of our role presenting and marketing the importance of language and culture skills across disciplines and in future jobs.
Help students see the value of for lang/culture by bringing in professionals locally or virtually, or having them work on projects with the local biz community or work virtually with student teams in another country.
One thought to reach many students at once would be adding a new option for K-12 state where students could present a case or consulting project with industry professionals brought in as the judges.
As educators we need to ask ourselves what is relevant in the textbooks and what can we supplement to match student interests? What learning activities will give students opportunities to use their language and culture skills in an area that will be useful to them down the road? What type of creative assessments can we use that allow students to see how for. Lang and culture will be used in real world contexts?
Again to reach many faculty at once, bring in professionals across sectors to talk about how they use for lang/culture and what are the upcoming needs in the work world? Stay informed about labor stats, reports showing need for global skills, and in which industries jobs are growing. Materials and links compiled on this site
Consider promoting and putting for. Lang/culture skills in a different light at your school. Wednesday we will present a few k-12 LSP models through virtual guests coming in to talk about their experience, where to find LSP resources, how you can connect with teachers working on K-12 LSP courses and materials
Some teachers across the U.S. implementing courses across sectors.
If you can’t make it to the session, you can find links and resources at NOBLE and connect to LSP professional groups through social media.Would love to post ppts or slideshare links on the site
Thank you, now we will see a short video clip summarizing some of the points I was hoping to get across.
