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.

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.

10. Barriers or Challenges
1. The pool of highly qualified multilingual/multicultural staff is in short supply.
2. Barriers to recruiting, training and retaining well-credentialed HS/EHS staff
who are bilingual.
3. A need for additional training and PD opportunities for Head Start staff.
11. Office of Head Start (OHS)
In the winter of 2005-2006, conducted a
review of program needs with respect to
serving young dual language learners, ages
birth to five years.
12. The Findings: HS PROGRAMS REPORTED….
having great difficulty finding, attracting,
and retaining qualified bilingual staff in
early childhood education.
That serving young children and their
families from various languages cannot
happen successfully without a program-
North Carolina- wide comprehensive plan.
Puerto Rico Struggling with how best to support
young English learners as they
transition into or out of the Head Start
Workforce program.
Pipeline Struggling with knowing how best to
promote children’s language
acquisition.
13. Fact or Fiction?
Head Start programs must demonstrate that
children who are dual language learners
make progress in both acquiring the
knowledge and skills described in the Head
Start Child Development and Early
Language Framework and the acquisition of
English.
FACT – 642(f)(10)
14. Fact or Fiction?
Head Start programs must hire
teachers/home visitors who have the required
qualifications, training and experience.

There is a definite need in our Head Start programs to

17. Food For Thought
How many of us are currently meeting those standards?
Is it a challenge from a Human Resource perspective to
meet those standards?
Is it a challenge from a financial perspective to meet those
standards?

A proactive approach that offers year-round
opportunities to attract highly qualified
bilingual Spanish Teachers/Family Service

23. Why Puerto Rico?
• People born in Puerto Rico are also considered native born- U.S. citizens by birth.
• 60% of Puerto Ricans speak English proficiently.
• As a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico operates HS/EHS programs. Potential candidates will
have knowledge and/or experience with Head Start.
• Puerto Ricans have higher levels of education than the Hispanic population overall.
• Vast number of Puerto Ricans are graduating with bachelor and/or graduate degrees
in Early Childhood Education, but no employment opportunities available in PR.

Editor's Notes
The nation’s racial and ethnic minority groups, especially Hispanics are growing more rapidly than the non-Hispanic white population, fueled by both immigration and births.Members of minority groups account for 49.7% of children younger than age 5 - 36.6% of the total population.
Although not the largest state with a percentage of Hispanics living in NC it is one of the fastest growing.Show where Hispanics are settlingWhat is so significant about North Carolina????
each year over the last five years there has been a 30% growth in terms of enrollment in our Head Start programs. Regional – everyday programs - traditional HS/EHS programs – the 30% growth – doesn’t include Tribal – Native American or Migrant Seasonal HS
Highlight 50%Sampson – 94%
Qualified Bilingual and Culturally Competent ProvidersIn order for children of immigrants to experience quality early education and to enhanceacademic and school readiness outcomes, bilingual and bicultural providers are essential. Many immigrant families are seeking programs with staff that reflect their language and culture. Yet, our research found the following:Multilingual and multicultural capacity is in short supply

HEAD START ACT – LAW – The Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007MUST LEGALLY DoPerformance standards are the guidelines to follow the ACT – to implement act
Rhetorical Questions or survey participantsIn SC, a program is up for recompetiton because that did not meet the needs of the aforementioned standards.
THIS HAS BEEN THE CULTURE OF HEAD START!!!!! WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN THAT VAIN TO MEET THE CHANGING NEEDS OF HS PROGRAMS – THAT IS WHAT WE DO IN HEAD START -
Puerto Rican - Consultant – uncg – worked HS across the nation
IF WE COULD HAVE DONE IT WE WOULD HAVE DONE IT BY NOW – WE MUST DARE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.It is insanity to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.This plan is BOLD – DARING – INNOVATIVE – Requires a business mindset, hs IS NOT A “MOM AND POP” structure, we are in the business of educating children and families. The optimal word being business. As we move forward we ak that you keep and open mind and understand that the long=term benefits will outweigh any costs exoerienced and we will in detail delineate the costs and benefits of this infrastructure project.
A proactive approach that offers year-round opportunities to bilingual Spanish teachers/Family Service Workers by accessing Puerto Rico’s supply talentCreating another medium by which you can recruit bilingual staff. You would advertise in PR just like you do now..we are expanding your recruting area. The approach and design can be tailored to meet your current Human Resource/Personnel practices. Therefore, no two program appraches would look the same since we are structured differently and have varying HR policies and practices.
According to a study conducted by the Center for Social and Demographic Analysis, children in immigrant families in North Carolina are less likely than in native-born families, to be enrolled in Pre-K/nursery school at age 3 (22% vs. 37%) and at age 4 (45% vs. 60%). TAKE AWAY – Perhaps that we are not experiencing as many as we can.BUT THIS PROJECT SERVES NOT ONLY IMMIGRANTSAt age 3, the proportion of children in immigrant families enrolled in preschool programs declines from 39% for those with English fluent parents only to 9% for those with English language learner parents only. Similarly, at age 4, the proportion enrolled declines across the parental language groups. Among children in immigrant families with origins in Mexico, enrollment in early education programs is even lower at age 3 (9%) and age 4 (39%). Cultural preferences are cited as one of the main reasons for lower enrollment in early education programs among immigrant groups, particularly among Hispanics.Pipe Line would eliminate that barrier
Don’t need work visa or passportsSo why come to the US?? – High Unemployment – can’t find employment opportunities - many are working in professions outside of their major and making less money than a teacher./FSW salaries.NC Spanish speaking population growthLimited availability of bilingual professionals in early childhood educationLack of parental experience in US educational system Low cultural understanding at early childhood education agencies across North CarolinaA suitable opportunity for North Carolina Head Start programs to make cost-effective efforts to find new and innovative strategies to recruit bilingual professionals that could assist overcome these challenges.
MENTION SC PROGRAM - RECOMPETINGContinues development of first or home languagesGives the children access to opportunities for learning in the early years by building on knowledge and competencies that the children have already developed Essential for children to feel valued and accepted in all early childhood settings.Early childhood educators who speak more than one language and are culturally knowledgeable are an invaluable resource in the early childhood setting.Early childhood educators who speak more than one language and are culturally knowledgeable are an invaluable resource in the early childhood setting.These culturally competent educators possess an understanding of socio-cultural and economic issues relevant within the local linguistically and culturally diverse community Relation to parent-teacher and family–school–community partnerships, communication is the critical factor in NC Head StartSupports the development a positive self-conceptSpeaking the first language well helps strengthen relationships within the family continuing to speak the first language
1st to go to college – require some work on the front end – if you as directors can get through this…the rate of return is greater!!!! It far exceeds the initial investment on the front end.
PREACH!Extend an invitation to utilize this new resource from the NC HSSCOThis is for the 2012 school year
This is for the 2012 school yearNC HSSCO not providing funding to hire – providing access to a pool of highly qualified candidates in which currently you do not have access. Wat they are paying for is the consulting services that will be in place to support potential candidates – at minimum a yeaApproach is tailored made to program – it is not a one size fits all – implementation will be different but access the sameTailored made
