The Power of a Woman's Education by Barbara McKinzieBarbara McKinzie
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has said female education a “silver bullet” in terms of empowering women and making progress with gender equality. Barbara McKinzie spotlights ways in which a woman's education impacts everyone.

JONATHAN KOZOLFrom Still Separate, Still Unequal: America’s Educational Apartheid
Jonathan Kozol is an award-winning writer and public lecturer who focuses on social injustice in the United States, an interest that began in the 1960s, when he taught in the Boston public school system. This first experience of learning about the lives of the country’s poor and under-educated led him to investigate and write extensively about Americans who suffer from what he calls social and educational “apartheid” in the United States, which keeps many people in a cycle of poverty that he believes is nearly impossible to break. An Internet search of Kozol’s name will demonstrate how widely he is quoted and how often he appears in the media as an expert on social inequality.
This essay, published in Harper’s Magazine in September 2005, was adapted from his book, The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America (Crown, 2005). You will see that while Kozol uses many different sources to support his argument, this is written in the style of magazine journalism, and so he does not use bibliographic footnotes. Try to track all of the different kinds of sources in this piece to see what connections you can make between Kozol’s central argument and the voices he includes here. Kozol makes his case in part by juxtaposing the words of the powerless and the powerful and contexualizing these individual speakers with statistics and facts that demonstrate what he believes is a profoundly unjust system of keeping the haves and have-nots separated though a variety of policies and belief systems.
Before you read, you might consider what you know about the No Child Left Behind policy, which plays a role in Kozol’s examination of urban school systems. You might even research the strong feelings held by supporters and opponents of this policy, so that you have a sense of this high-stakes conversation before you read Kozol’s analysis. Also keep your own schooling experience in mind, and think about your childhood sense of what other kids had or didn’t have. Kozol taps into a discussion about education that is linked to almost every other kind of social division in our country. What does he hope to illuminate, and what solutions does he propose? What do you have to say about who has access to a quality education in the U.S. and who does not?

Many Americans who live far from our major cities and who have no firsthand knowledge of the realities to be found in urban public schools seem to have the rather vague and general impression that the great extremes of racial isolation that were matters of grave national significance some thirty-five or forty years ago have gradually but steadily diminished in more recent years. The truth, unhappily, is that the trend, for well over a decade now, has been precisely the reverse. Schools that were already deeply segregated twenty-five or thirty years ago are no less segregated now, while thousands of other schools a.

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.
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.

1. BLACK WOMEN AND THE
ADVANCEMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Barbara McKinzie
2. TIME AND
TIME AGAIN
it has been proven that educated citizens can
tremendously impact society in a positive
way, and there has been a push for
governments, both on state and national
levels, to pledge their commitment to
ensuring educational opportunity for all.
Michelle Obama, Princeton University & Harvard Law Graduate
4. WOMEN OF COLOR
haven’t been afforded the same opportunities for higher education, despite a rich
history of their groundbreaking contributions to the cause of education in America
5. HERE ARE JUST A FEW
WOMEN OF COLOR
who have kicked in the schoolhouse door.
6. DR. JOHNETTA
COLE
When Dr. Cole was named president of
Spelman College in 1987, she became the
first black female President of the small
liberal arts women’s college, also one of the
oldest historically black colleges (HBC) for
women in America. Under her leadership,
the SAT scores of incoming freshman
consistently ranked higher than any other
HBC in the nation, earning the college the
title as one of the top regional liberal arts
colleges in the South by U.S. News and
World Report magazine.
7. After becoming the first black woman to earn
her Ph.D. in Mathematics from The Catholic
University in Washington, D.C. in 1943,
Dr. Haynes then went on to establish the first
mathematics department at Miner Teachers
College, known today as the District of
Columbia Teachers College, and serve as
Chair of the Division of Mathematics and
Education. In 1966, she played an
instrumental role in integrating the DC
public school system as the first woman to
chair the District of Columbia School Board.

8. PRESIDENT
SHIRLEY
JACKSON,
PH.D.Adding to the list of notable women of color who’ve made
significant strides for the cause of education, Dr. Jackson was
the first black female to receive a doctorate in physics from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1973.
Twenty-two years later, she was named the first black person
and first woman to serve as chairman of the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, and was also the first black woman
elected to the National Academy of Engineering. To top off her
list of impressive firsts, Dr. Jackson became the first black
female to lead a major technological institute when in 1999
she was named the President of Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute, a position she holds to this day.
