Beyond STEM options, this document discusses myths around STEM careers and the value of humanities degrees. It shows that according to surveys, over half of successful people studied social sciences and humanities. While STEM careers are important, not all problems can be solved with only technical skills. Trends at Bluebells School also show growing popularity in humanities and management courses. Students should broaden their skills and electives to prepare for jobs that may not exist yet. Counselors must provide engagement across fields and show there are more than just three career options.

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.

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.

Editor's Notes
Options beyond stem for Indian curricula
Good morning everyone at the outset I would like to thank Univariety for giving me this opportunity . While we would all agree that STEM is an important option for students but today I do look forward to exploring with all of you the relevance of ex[posing our children to the wide gamut of options in a fast changing world. But before we delve deeper to understand this it would be very nice if some of you could share your expectations from this session with me
Perfect this is indeed very helpful and I hope the session will meet some of your expectations
Your takeaway from the session today is going to be about challenging some myths, realizing what are the latest trends and of course how as an educator, mentor and counsellor you can help your students and their parents to broaden their horizons
There is no denying the fact that Indians, especially Indian parents are obsessed with the sciences left to parents 90% of them would want their child to do either PCM or PCB
It is almost as though they wear blinkers and are unable to see anything beyond engineering and medicine.
I can never forget how that some years back we had a very young bright student who passed her grade 10 with a cgpa of 10

it is not uncommon to see engineers taking up professions completely different from their degrees.
Mr Yogesh Deveshwar, he finished his Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. He also received an AMP Diploma from the Harvard Business School, Massachusetts and did a course on advanced training in Hoteliering and Services from Cornell University in United States.
After studied chemical engineering at Osmania University Harsha Boglee did his post graduate program PGDM at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad worked in an advertising agency for two years, followed by another two-year stint at a sports management company before he back to his passion commentating which he began doing at the age of 19 with All India Radio
Chetan Bhagat did his engineering from IIT MBA from Ahemdabad and worked in Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong as an investment banker for nearly a decade before moving to Mumbai to focus full-time on his writing career.
Nagurjuna actor, producer and tv presenter M.S. in Automobile Engineering from Eastern Michigan University.
And perhaps that is why in India, people choose their career path after completing their engineering.

It’s a common misconception that you need a STEM degree to work in tech. Here are high paying, fast-growing careers in tech — which don’t require math or science degrees.
STEM jobs will account for only 5% of all U.S. positions by 2018, says Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce. But tech creates jobs — of all sorts. And it’s creating jobs at a 33% faster rate than other sectors, in a wide range of job titles, including non-tech-related positions such as accountants, managers and sales representatives.”jobs in operations (meaning, supply chain, workflow, and inventory management), and strategy (allocating resources, coordinating people, gathering and organizing information and data to solve problems or fix procedures
The sector is booming and there are plenty of non-STEM jobs needed to further bolster the tech firms, including in marketing, sales, and operations including supply chain, workflow and inventory management.des

You will find successful humanities students in just about every area of human endeavor. UN, leaders who lead nations, industrialist who super growth, performing artists and many more A 2012 survey showed that over two-thirds of humanities majors get jobs in the private sector?
almost 60% of 652 U.S. CEOs and heads of product engineering had degrees in the humanities?
A study of 100 FTSE companies’ CEOs showed that 34% were from humanities and social sciences and 31 % from sciences
78% of people think their lives are richer for having the opportunity to visit or view the historic environment
88% of people believe that it is important in creating jobs and boosting the economy
Scientific and technical knowledge is vital in tackling development challenges such as poverty and security, but so are the humanities, according to a study into the value of the humanities. Meghann Jones of Ipsos Public Affairs explains.
Many international development programmes require technical expertise. But the people who took part in the research said they encounter challenges when designing and delivering programmes that aren’t technical. These challenges include managing complex relationships between people who have a stake in those development programmes, balancing competing objectives for the programme, and sensitivity to social and cultural contexts.
And yet year after year we are so happy to churn out students who have little time to understand culture literature history and heritage som immersed they are in PCM or PCB
Very recently we had Adam Ghilchrist visit our school and he spoke about his experience and learning when he played for the IPL matches contracted by the Deccan Chargers he spoke about how confident he was of the team winning only to lose the match but then they sat reflected and found that more than addressing technical issues they first had to address and understand the cultural jamboree of a team that that had come together from different corners of the world.

Canada, the UK and the US had the highest proportion of humanities graduates.
China, Japan and South Korea (16 per cent). Given the focus on science and technology in countries like China, it is interesting to note that the leaders surveyed from Asian countries did not necessarily study STEM disciplines.
Liberal Arts program is especially good for students who are still fumbling and not sure of how to go forward. The program gives children the flexibility to choose from a wide range of subjects depending on what the college has to offer. E.g offers Majors in 9 subjects and Interdisciplinary Majors in a further 8 subjects, thereby offering students a total of 17 options to Major in. They can also pick Minors from among 15 courses on offer.
Courses in writng and critical reading are essential in most colleges
students must pass courses that are broadly divided into three categories – Foundation Courses, Major Courses (including Interdisciplinary Majors) and Co-Curricular Courses including film, theatre, languages art . Each course carries credit points, and in order to earn their degree at the end of three years, students need to have accumulated 100 credit points.

Policy Science, is the study of finding solutions to the new challenges of our era. Including Poverty, population aging, urban development and environmental pollution are just some of these challenges. Policy Science is a field of science which clarifies the causes of these social problems and explores their solutions which satisfy the maximum number of members or stakeholders of the society. E.g Sustainable Urban Policy Program, Regional Economy and Development Program, and Multi-level Governance Program)
The challenges today's students will face as tomorrow's leaders will involve working more closely across geographic borders, and with people who have very different backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. In short, diversity and global citizenship are our common future.
Will our children be ready, and is the education they're receiving today preparing them for the world they'll inherit in a decade or two? Skills that globally competent students will require to successfully navigate college, career, and life in the 21st century include:
Critcal reading and writing skills
An appreciation for cultural differences
An ability to understand and consider multiple perspectives
Critical and comparative thinking skills
Problem-solving abilities
Comfort with ambiguity and change
An understanding of globally significant issues
For far too long we have treated humanities as a poor cousin who deserves rejected and hand me downs
