Students’ deep learning refers to their learning beyond the mastery of existing content knowledge. Students can also create and use the new knowledge in their real world and their real life experiences. While combining community-based learning in service learning project is widely accepted as an effective pedagogy to facilitate students’ deep learning, the design of learning activities specifically to global issues for primary and secondary students is not fully developed.
This plenary presentation is intended to discuss the possibilities in designing community-based learning activities to learn global issues that could contribute to meaningful service learning projects. Approaches of inquiry based and advocacy based service learning will be briefly reviewed. The interrelatedness of these approaches to the students’ deep learning to global issues will be elaborated. An example of a community-based learning with the learning theme of “bicycle-friendly city” will be used to illustrate how these concepts could be blended in practices, in particular in designing meaningful service learning project for primary and secondary students.

是次的專題分享集中討論如何以社區為本的教學法設計教學活動,令學生對全球議題有深入學習,繼續發展出有意義的服務學習計劃。當中會討論服務學習中「探究為本」及「倡議為本」的手法,以及如何結合兩者以達至深入學習。再者,講者會以「單車友善城市」的例子說明如何把社區為本概念加以實踐,從而在中、小學在設計具意義的服務學習計劃。
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

PARADIGM CHANGE REGARDING YOUNG MEN
AND WOMEN
18. PRINCIPLES TO ENABLE EFFECTIVE
YOUTH PARTICIPATION
enable fun, challenge and excitement;
allow participation by choice;
avoid pigeonholing of young men and women and
generalising about their behaviour, opinions or ideas;
maximise the opportunity of success through adequate
provision of information, training, support, resources,
time and space;
address opportunities, needs and issues that are valued
and respected by young people, their peers and
the community;
start with the talents, capacities, assets and skills of
young people, rather than their problems and
deficiencies;
involve young men and women from the start;
19. create opportunities for young women and men to lead
and teach;
maximise decision making and accountability by young
people;
develop young peoples awareness of the social, political,
economic, cultural and personal aspects of the issues
affecting them;
make sense of, and demystify adult structures and
processes;
build active and supportive working relationships
between young people and other members of the
community;
provide opportunities for training and skill development;
and
encourage opportunities to reflect and analyse their
experiences.
(According to the Bank of I.D.E.A.S)
20. 1. Always start with the gifts, talents, knowledge and skills of
young people – never with their needs and problems.
2. Always lift up the unique individual, never the category to
which the young person belongs. It is “Frank” who sings so
well, or Maria the great soccer; never the “at-risk youth” or
the “pregnant teen”.
3. Share the conviction that: (a) Every community is filled with
useful opportunities for young people to contribute to the
community; and (b) there is no community institution or
association that can’t find a useful role for young people.
4. Try to distinguish between real community building work, and
games or fakes – because young people know the difference.
5. Fight – in every way you can – age segregation. Work to
overcome the isolation of young people.
Ten Commandments For Involving Young People In
Community Building
21. 6. Start to get away from the principal of aggregation of people
by their emptiness. Don’t put everyone who can’t read
together in the same room. It makes no sense.

councils, especially those boards with only one young person
on them.
8. Cultivate many opportunities for young people to teach and to
lead.
9. Reward and celebrate every creative effort, every
contribution made by young people. Young people can help
take the lead here.
10.In every way possible, amplify this message to young people:
“We need you! Our community cannot be strong and complete
without you”.
(According to Jody Kretzmann, Institute for Asset Based Community
Development)
22. With
