A Study - Need of Reorienting School Curriculum to Integrate ESD and Active Citizenship
Rationale of the study
Considerable research shows that while the young people may demonstrate a high degree of environmental awareness, and positive environmental values, but they generally fail to reflect these perceptions and values in their actions, even at a shallow level.

Historical development of education and pedagogySebastianPrez17
Naturally, one of the humans’ principal needs is the knowledge requirement, then from the beginning of the ages the human has looked for the way to know, therefore, in every society throughout history, however primitive it is, There has always been present the education.
Right from the beginning, education was assigned the status of an art – the art of teaching, of leading children to knowledge. The profession of educator first emerged in Ancient Greece. Back then, the role of educator was performed by slaves.
At the end of the 19th century, the development of such scientific fields as sociology and psychology is accompanied by the emergence of pedagogy as an applied science. Nowadays, pedagogy is treated as a science with the understanding that its ultimate objective, as in the other cases, is not so much to describe or explain but instead to guide the process of teaching and learning. It is as a discipline geared towards the practical application of acquired knowledge.
Thus, the history of pedagogy is the history of pedagogues, as Jean Houssaye put it, Jean Piaget, John Locke, practitioners and theorists of the instructional process, whose practical skills employed in the educational process are more important than theoretical concepts, and vice versa.

### Summary
This section explores how project management can effectively facilitate change and innovation within organizations. It highlights the complexity of managing change and the importance of making decisions at various levels. Project management, initially developed for large-scale projects, is presented as a valuable methodology adaptable to smaller-scale initiatives within Local Training Organizations (LTOs). The section also emphasizes that project management principles offer broader management lessons.
Three case studies illustrate different applications:
1. Designing a new academic writing course at a US university.
2. Developing e-learning materials for a not-for-profit LTO in Poland.
3. Reorganizing a computer lab at a Middle Eastern university.
These examples demonstrate the versatility of project management in diverse educational and organizational contexts.

Summary: Introduction to Language Teaching Organizations (LTOs)
Language Teaching Organizations (LTOs) encompass a wide range of institutions varying in size, purpose, and structure. As defined by Dawson (1986), organizations share common characteristics despite their diverse forms. The following examples illustrate this diversity in LTOs:
Small Private Language School in Europe: Focused on teaching English and other languages to middle-class residents, this school is staffed by its founder and a small team.
English Language Support Unit in a Middle Eastern University: A non-faculty department offering academically focused English classes to incoming students.
School Supporting Refugee Resettlement in the US: Funded by federal and state governments, this school provides English and vocational courses.
English School in Japan: Part of a large nationwide chain, employing a significant number of teachers and administrative staff.
Intensive English Program (IEP) in the US: An outsourced business serving non-native English speakers on a university campus, unaffiliated with the university.
British Council Teaching Centre in a Provincial City: Semi-autonomous, but part of a global organization with managerial oversight from the capital.
Language School in a European Capital: Established 20 years ago, now employing over 50 teachers across five branches.
These examples demonstrate that despite their varying contexts and operational structures, all these institutions fit the definition of an organization.

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.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

8. Ancient Chinese Civilization 3000 BCE-CE 1900
- To examine the origins of Chinese education, we go back to 3rd century BCE,
when China was beset by political and cultural upheaval, focusing on
PRESERVING or CHANGING the culture

authoritarian
government was
used to uphold order
- Shih Huang Ti

stop trying to control
other people and live
simply and
spontaneously.

reflection and search
for the path to true
reality.

philosophy based on a
hierarchy of
responsibilities flowed
downward, touching
everyone in society

associated with the
person’s role and rank
Confucianism (Han
dynasty)
Mr. VATH Vary
9. Ancient Chinese Civilization 3000 BCE-CE 1900
Confucianism
- Clear models of
behavior were
practiced
- Teachers need to
model civility in
their classrooms.
- since a person is
defined as a father,
mother, brother, sister,
ruler, or subject
- Thus status, duties,
and responsibilities,
and civility were clear
