1-Pretend that you are a new teacher. You see that one of your students likes to tease and joke on the other students. This student targets some students more than others and is meaner to them. The students who are targeted most often are those who appear to be less socially adept than some of the others. They may be younger, seem to have a more obvious disability or be overweight, wear glasses or not dress in trendy clothes. The student's behavior goes well beyond "friendly banter" and often leaves the other students feeling hurt and ashamed. How do you stop the student from bullying his or her peers and work to build the self-esteem of the students who have been picked on? What could be some of the causes of the student's bullying behavior and how might you work to address the root of the behavior?
2-Tiered Behavior Management and Response to Intervention (RtI
Please share a situation where you have worked with a challenging or difficult student. Was a tiered program or RtI a part of the program used to work with the student? How does a tiered program encourage student success? What are some of the challenges you have experienced while working with a tiered program? How have your students responded to the program or programs?
3-Special education teachers may work at different education levels at various points in their careers. Inclusion will be different in the lower grades than it would be in a high school classroom. How do you think that inclusion may look different for students at the elementary level as opposed to the high school level? What are some of the methods used to include students at all educational levels? What are some of the benefits and challenges you can see of the different inclusion models used with the different age students?
4-As a teacher of students with mild disabilities your class may be a diverse mix of students with various abilities and disabilities. How might inclusion and classroom management change when working with students with Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders or other specific disabilities such as Down Syndrome? What would you need to take into account when developing behavior intervention plans (BIPs) and Individual Education Plans (IEPs)? How do you think these would change as the student grew and progressed through school?
5- This week you have a special task for the discussion. You will need to read about a disability category or specific disability that is of interest to you. Many of you may have a student, friend or family member with a specific disability we have not talked about so far in class. Use what you learn in the materials you read, the professional organization's website you visit or the videos you watch to talk about the specific inclusion and behavior management needs of students with that disability.

unit 9 discussion scenario 3
COLLAPSE
ABA Procedure: A DRO (differential reinforcement of other behavior) to address SIB exhibited by a toddler in a home setting.
Special Methods: Any appropriate behaviors other than SIB will be reinforced through a specific amount of time (every five minutes). Reinforcement is only given when the individual does not engage in SIB behaviors.
Risks
Notes
1 Implementing the plan at home can be difficult.
1 The family might be concerned with their safety and the safety of the child. There should be a protocol before implementing this intervention.
2 Family members and client could be at risk for danger.
2 The parents might be concerned for the safety of themselves and their child.
3 Possible increase in SIB
3 SIB behaviors might increase before it decreases due to an extinction burst. The behavior analyst should have a protocol before implementing this intervention.
4 SIB behaviors could remain the same.
4 If there is no change in the clients SIB behaviors then a preference test should be conducted to determine motivating reinfoncers.
Benefits
Notes
1 Generalization
1 The client will learn to use this skill at home as well as be able generalize this skill into other settings.
2 Improved learning environment
2 SIB behaviors will decrease and appropriate behavior will be taught. SIB will no longer impact the client and family in the future.
3 Increase in appropriate behaviors
3 Appropriate behaviors will be taught and replace the SIB behavior.
4 Least intrusive intervention
4 Using reinforcement to decrease the problem behavior and increase appropriate behaviors. This is a least restrictive method of treatment.
5 Parent training and involvement
5 Parents will feel confident about implementing this evidence based treatment at home. This will can lead to an increase a buy in from the family and they will feel comfortable implementing other interventions in the future.
Summary: DRO is an intervention that is used when the client does not engage in the problem behavior (SIB) (Bailey & Burch, 2016). Reinforcement should only be given to the individual after a certain amount of time that the client is not engaging in the problem behavior; in this case it should be after five minutes of the client not engaging in SIB. The person who is implementing this treatment should not reinforce the problem behavior. The benefits of implementing DRO outweigh the risks of implementing DRO. DRO is a good intervention to use when decreasing SIB behavior. Although there are some risks, the individual who is implementing DRO should have the knowledge, training and experience and be confident when implementing DRO ( Bailey & Burch, 2016).

1- I can totally see where there would be tension between.docxjasoninnes20
1- I can totally see where there would be tension between these two, especially in today’s world. I am no expert on religion or science for that matter, but I do feel like some of the tension is unnecessary. I feel that the two can work to benefit our patients by balancing them with the needs of the patient. Let’s take my kids for instance, if they were sick with some known treatable disease there would be no other option in my mind to treat them with science and medicine that has been proven to work. I wouldn’t only pray for them to get better and not do anything about it, but I would pray for them and do whatever was necessary to help my family deal with the stress and worry of a child being sick. Here we have used them both to our benefit and they each serve a different purpose and effectiveness. Thanks again for your post!
2-My perception of the tension between science and religion is founded at first glance and then not when looked at more closely. Science and religion can coincide in health care if respected for their own strengths and limitations. I feel that a healthy balance of both can benefit our patients providing different needs when they’re needed. I have seen with my own eyes CRP markers drop in an infant receiving antibiotic treatment and I have also seen an infant that wasn’t supposed to live by scientific probability actually make it and thrive with prayer being the only obvious intervention. So, trying to single out one over the other as more effective than the other seems less beneficial than trying to work them both in when the patient requires such help.
I feel that science is good for some of the more usual cases and things we feel we can help with its information, and I also feel that we can use religion to help a patient with their mental aspects of healing. We can quantify an improvement in a patient through lab levels and such, but it's hard to do the same with religion and how a patient uses that tool as comfort or however they use it in their lives. “Some observational studies suggest that people who have regular spiritual practices tend to live longer. Another study points to a possible mechanism: interleukin (IL)-6. Increased levels of IL-6 are associated with an increased incidence of disease. A research study involving 1700 older adults showed that those who attended church were half as likely to have elevated levels of IL-6. The authors hypothesized that religious commitment may improve stress control by offering better coping mechanisms, richer social support, and the strength of personal values and worldview” (NCBI, 2001). In this example we see the benefits were surveyed to be founded, but the exact workings aren’t exactly known. The great thing about science is that usually we have some tangible results that are repeatable and there’s safety to be found in that. The great thing about religion is that we can have faith in whatever we believe in and that’s all that’s needed. It's our.

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.
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.

Presentation Summary Evaluation Criteria
15. SECTION A (Total 65 marks)
Question 1
You are to formulate a business plan to analyse the
opportunities for launching a local or
overseas-sourced franchised business at Paya Lebar Quarter
(PLQ) Mall. Your chosen
franchise must be in line with PLQ’s unique WELL certification
in promoting “health and
wellness”.
In your comprehensive business plan, it should use a SWOT
analysis framework to discuss the
business internal and external environmental and examine the
market segmentation. You will
need to design a marketing plan and the organisation structure
and discuss the legal issues
relating to obtaining and operating a franchised business.
As part of the financial analysis, you need to apply a break-even
analysis, including designing
a strategy for capital funding in relation to the expected
16. financial returns.
The business plan needs to be well written to appeal to Angel
Investors for their consideration
in investing in your business.
(65 marks)
Background
Slated to be opened in the fourth quarter of 2019, the S$3.2
billion Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ)
will be the newest addition in transforming the Paya Lebar
Central precinct into a vibrant
business and lifestyle hub. Adjacent to the Paya Lebar MRT
interchange, PLQ will serve an
estimated working population of about 22,000 within a seven-
minute walk and more than one
million residents in the area.
The four-hectare mixed-use development comprises of three
office towers (PLQ Workplace),
three residential towers with 429 apartments (Park Place
Residences @ PLQ) and a retail
17. complex with over 200 shops covering 340,000 square feet of
retail space (PLQ Mall).
A uniqueness of Paya Lebar Quarter is that it is the first in
Singapore to be awarded the WELL
Core and Shell Certification issued by the International WELL
Building Institute (IWBI). The
WELL Building Standard (WELL) is the world’s first building
standard focused exclusively
on promoting the overall well-being, health and productivity of
occupants
(www.wellcertified.com). The integrated development will have
a wellness theme with
100,000 square feet of green public spaces and a 20,000 square
feet covered event space outside
the mall. There will also be a 6m-wide cycling trail and
pedestrian pathway within the
development that will link to the Sims Avenue park connector.
You are considering obtaining a franchise as a way to start a
business. An advantage of
established franchises is the strong brand-name appeal that is
backed by a proven track record.
Coupled with the training and guidance provided by the
franchisor, the chances of success are
19. to complete the report.
3. You are free to conduct library research, field research,
interviews, etc. during the writing
of the business plan.
4. The selected franchise should fulfil a key criterion of the
lease agreement of providing
“health and/or wellness” related products and/or services that
complements PLQ’s WELL
certification. How this criterion shall be met by the franchise
concept must be clearly
articulated in the “Description of the Franchise and its Unique
Selling Point” (section 2.1).
Franchised concepts that do not fulfil this requirement (example
wholly F&B and
convenience stores) will not be accepted.
5. The first month of operations is the gestation period of the
new business, e.g., staff
recruitment, renovation, staff training and etc. The first revenue
can only be received by
the new business from the second month onwards in the
financial forecast.
6. The depreciation for any capital investment is a straight line
over three (3) years.
20. 7. Your business will be situated at PLQ Mall. The unfurnished
unit of 1,200 square feet is
available at a monthly rental of $18,000, fixed for a minimum
3-year lease. Rental deposit
required is equivalent to 2 months’ rental, to be paid together
with the first month’s rental
upon commencement of the lease. Sub-letting is not allowed by
