The Food Project - a Green STEM Learning Program by Mary Van DykeMary Van Dyke
This presentation introduces The Food Project: an after-school Green STEM Learning enrichment program facilitated by Mary Van Dyke. I am offering this program for fall 2016 to spring 2017 at Swanson Middle School, Arlington. Please contact me if you're interested in the program for grades elementary school grades 3 - 5, or for middle school grades 6-8.
In this year-long program, students connect farming, fun and food. Prepare ground in the fall, test soil, begin to compost, and then plan, plant and care for an outdoor “mini-farm” at your school site. Students can take produce home, or donate to the local Food Assistance Center, or have the opportunity to harvest and sell veg produce by arranging a CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture) at school. Opportunities also include to exhibit their project in the spring at the regional NOVA Outside School Environmental Action Showcase in spring, and also at the VA Urban Ag Summit to be held in Arlington in October 2017.

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.
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.
