The document summarizes research on outcome measures for assessing beginning writers with disabilities. It discusses who beginning writers include, how to apply common core standards to students with disabilities, and tools used to measure writing development in schools. Formal measures discussed include the Test of Early Written Language, Oral and Written Language Scales, Woodcock-Johnson, and Wechsler Individual Achievement Test. Informal measures include holistic scoring rubrics and analyzing specific writing features like words, sentences, topics, and genres. The document proposes a developmental writing scale to measure writing quantity and quality at different levels for beginning writers.

Toolboxes for instruction in chinese immersion classroom revised (2)Karoline Summerville
Geneese (1994a) pointed out that language learning in immersion was thought as secondary goal to academic achievement goal. Immersion teachers always use tentative and incidental approaches for language learning in content instructional time. Without the systematic and deliberated plan for interweaving language-learning in content instructional time, students don’t develop grammatical structure, lexical variety, and pragmatic expression to facilitate more communication around content learning (Auger 2002; Tarone & Swain 1995).
In this workshop, we will thoughtfully review unit lesson planning process by using Understanding By Design framework, and discuss teaching strategies and activities to engage students simultaneously attending to content learning and language development.

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.

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.

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.
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.

For next year. When me and my mom go clothes shopping and sometimes we buy some new shoes. I like to go shopping with my Aunt Mandy. She buys me whatever I want. Like last time I went shopping with her. Last time I went shopping with her she brante me some new earrings and they are so cool for me. I like going shopping with my grandma singer she likes to go shopping with her and when I go shopping with my grandma she buys me a ring that is red. I love it so much. I like to take my cousins shopping to They love it when I take them shopping I buy them everthing they want. But I tell them that if They do not listen to me or their mom and dad I will not take them shopping ever again. I go shopping by myself and when I do I buy my mom and dad something and they love it. Before my grandpa passed away we used to go shopping all the time but now its just me and my mom, grandma, Aunt mandy and my cousins going shopping.

74. Total Intelligible Words in Beginning Writers Purpose of the Measure To quantify number of intelligible words produced by a beginning student writer. Measurement of Total Intelligible Words The number of correctly and/or phonetically spelled words in a written product. Intelligible words are defined as words of at least 2 letters that can be identified by two independent raters. The average number of total intelligible words across multiple writing samples will be measured.
79. Number of Unique Words in Beginning Writers Purpose of the Measure To quantify number of unique words produced by a beginning student writer.
80. Number of Unique Words in Beginning Writers Purpose of the Measure To quantify number of intelligible words produced by a beginning student writer. Measurement of Number of Unique Words The total number of different words in the students writing sample that follows conventional or phonetic spelling. The average number of unique words across multiple writing samples will be measured.
91. Why do students use different genres? To recount a personal experience: I cach frogs with my cosin. I cote a tod in my gradma's pool. I got a cup and cote him. I keep him for a wile and then I put hem back in the pool. I cote a frog at my other grandmas house with my cosin. He was sticky on his back we put him in a cool wipe thing. He looked like a lafe. To describe a process: Little egg's hach in to tadpol's. The tadpol's groe back lag's. Thin they groe font lag's. The taol gits smolr Thairis yor frog. To retell a favorite story: There once was a wide-math frog. He saw a bird. He said…Whort do you like to eat? The bird said…I like to eat worms. And then the wide-math frog hoped to a cradile. The wide math frog said to the cradile What do you like to eat? The cradile said I like to eat wide math frogs. Then the wide math frog made his math small and jumed into the pond and he made a big Splash! To explain why two things are different: You can tell the deffrent of a toad and a frog because a toad has brown skin and a frog has green skin. A toad has bumpy skin very bumpy skin. I like frogs the best because green is beateter then brown. Toads are aguley to me. Frogs are prettyer then a toad. I wish that frogs and toad could go to scool like us.

Editor's Notes
Picture these students in your mind…. Can they be any age? Which populations of students identified for special education might be beginning writers?
(pretty bird like they eat worms) (I like Lee Ann because she is nice.)
Not comparing students with disabilities to students who are typically developing to limit our perceptions of them!
In case you want to do transition slides between speakers. The following look like a lot of slides, but I practiced and I can do it in 5-6 minutes.
This is all about communication - Writing is about communicating & sharing Show us that these students can write Message – The students we’ll be focusing on today may have been thought of as a nonwriter. Or it may be a student with LD or EI or who is a second language learner

If I had a million dollars I waed bay a schools. I waed have a bab-q all time. Thaer waed be a spelling school. It waed be a art school for kids. once upon there was a squirrel. The squirrel got dead. The squirrel got to get surgery. The squirrel had to get his tail cut off. The squirrel had to get some popcorn. The squirrel did not brush his teeth at all. The squirrel had to go to the girls bathroom The squirrel had to drive a car.

Typically developing first grader: The pool at my house opened up. It was called the pig picking and we went swimming there and it was very very very fun to me. My baby sitter took me to the store and I got some "spra" candy and some wax coke bottles with some dark candy. It was very very very good candy. We eat food and food and food. I eat my food then I felt the water and it was very very very cold so I stood on the top step of the pool. My friends Chris and Darice were there and I stayed there a little bit and then I rode my bike back home and I went to bed and I went to sleep!
Typically developing second grade student
Writing 12 times…. Chooses his own topic with little to no support Now interacts while writing… turns to his clinician when he gets stuck, makes eye contact, and turns his palms up for spelling help. He then says the word out loud & we write it down. What’s great about this sample… Spelled his own last name on his own Choose Picture on his own – Making a choice was random almost all last fall
Writing about 25 times
Communicative intent: Why do students use different genres?
So you differentiate “story” as imaginary and use “recount” for personal narrative. According to Westby (and whoever she cites), a recount is a scaffolded personal narrative, and an “account” is an unscaffolded one. Could you call these “imaginary story” versus “personal narrative”? Couldn’t a description be of a thing or person as well as an event? [oh, I see—is that in “report”?] Report: Give/provide information about a central topic. Like the definition of poetry I like the way you group the genre on subsequent slides into emergent, narrative, and expository. Could you use color coding on this slide to show that they can be grouped?

We need these students to see the power of communication , both oral and written, in their every day lives For children with DD and those who use AAC , they live their lives differently because they can write. I want all of us to think about a world where the students shared today , and others like them, get rich literacy and communication opportunities every day, in the best quality instruction… I wonder about what kinds of literacy abilities we would see in the adolescent & adult students shared today if they received the rich, consistent writing opportunities since the first day of school.
