Prior knowledge connection: The educator will open the class discussion about facts or opinions by asking students whether they have ever heard about the two words. Students will be given enough time to read and answer.
Anticipatory Set: There will be two sentences written on the board. The teacher will explain the sentence that is a fact and one that is an opinion. Fact: I went to my friend’s place twice this week. Opinion: the best dish in the world is spaghetti. Every pupil will be given two sticky notes and opinions on each of them. Pupils are allowed to select the written sentence and determine which one is a fact and opinion. To help students understand why they labeled each sentence and its meaning, the teacher will initiate a discussion to transpire that. Subsequently, st.
Gifted children are, by definition, "Children who give evidence of high performance capability in areas such as intellectual, creative, artistic, leadership capacity, or specific academic fields, and who require services or activities not ordinarily provided by the school in order to fully develop such capabilities."

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

2. Chapter 12: Students with
Disabilities
• Be able to EXPLAIN key terms
associated with students with
disabilities
• Describe what inclusion looks like in a
classroom
• Discuss the pros and cons of labeling
students
• Understand the 6 Principles of IDEA
• Understand the Alternative
Placements Available for Students
• Discuss Take Aways from the “Megan”
video
5. Key Terms: Match
• At-Risk
• Disability
• Exceptional
• Handicapped
• Impairment
•Includes children who have difficulty learning
AND those who are gifted and talented
•The loss or reduced function of a certain
body part or organ
•An impairment that limits a child’s ability to
perform certain tasks
•The challenges a person with a disability
experiences when interacting with the
physical or social environment.
•Higher than normal chance of developing a
disability
6. To Label Or Not To Label: That is the
Question
To Label (Pros)
• Aids in communication with
parents, teachers, resource
personnel, and medical
personnel
• Provides funding and
resources
• Creates an IEP to meet the
individual student needs
• Allows for testing
accommodations/modificatio
ns
• Labeling is the first step to
serving these students’ needs
Not To Label (CONS)
• Focuses on the child’s deficit
(label)
• Harms the child’s self-esteem
• Evokes low expectations from
school personnel and others
• Hinders instruction
• Restricts independent
learning opportunities
• Gives the students a sense of
entitlement
• Other people enable the
disability
7. IDEA (Individuals With Disabilities
Education Act)
Drives special education in EVERY school
It has 6 major principles that have remained unchanged since
1975
1. ZERO reject- schools must educate ALL children with disabilities…
regardless the nature or severity of the disability. NO child with a
disability may be excluded from ANY school activity. (Birth-21 years old)
2. Nondiscriminatory identification and evaluation—ALL students with
disabilities are evaluated fairly, parents must be notified and consent to
it, the evaluation must be completed within 60 days of receiving parental
consent. Most importantly assessment must be nondiscriminatory and
biased against various groups.
3. Free, appropriate public education– an IEP (Individualized
Educational Program/Plan) must be developed and implemented for
each child. The parents must agree with the program/plan. This program
is the foundation of the student’s education and services/support they
will receive.
8. IDEA (Individuals With
Disabilities Education
Act)
4. Least restrictive environment– not every child’s LRE is the
regular education classroom. It is the maximum extent appropriate
for the student’s needs. A separation may occur when the nature or
severity of the child’s disability is such that education in the regular
class (with supplementary aids and services) cannot be achieved
satisfactorily.
5. Due Process Safeguards– Students with disabilities have
important legal rights. It is a series of procedural steps designed to
ensure fairness of treatment among students, parents, and school
systems.
6. Parent and Student participation in shared decision making–
Parents have a role in the IEP and decision making process. If the
student is old enough and competent enough, they also may be
part of the decision making team. Parents can wave their rights to
participate.
9. General Education Classroom- prescribed program under direction of general
General Education Classroom with Consultation- prescribed program under
the gen ed teacher, who is supported by on-going consultation from the
special education teacher
General Education Classroom with Supplementary Instruction and
Service- prescribed program under the direction of the gen ed
teacher and receives instruction IN the classroom from a special ed
teacher or parapro.
Resource Room- In the general ed room for the majority
of the day. But, goes to the special education resource
room for part of the day from specialized instruction
Separate Classroom- attends a special class
most or all of the day under the direction of a
special ed teacher
Separate School- attend a special school
specifically designed to meet their needs
(Day Program
Residential School- a special
school where they live 24/7
Homebound or Hospital–
do receive education
ALTERNATIVE
PLACEMENTS FOR
STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES
10. Strategies for Disabled Students
• Oral instructions ( audio books)
• Frequent progress checks
• Give immediate feedback
• Provide concrete objects
• Give lots of praise
• Repeat instructions
• Cooperative learning-Groups
• Peer helpers
• Allow more time on assignments
• Lessen the amount of work
• Provide least restrictive environment
• Co-teach with other staff
• Research the disability so you are familiar with aspects of that disability
• Have notes typed and printed off ahead of time for students if they have to take notes
• Modify tests/classwork – give extra time, read test aloud, multiple choice instead of short answer, allow students
to dictate their answers, remove some choices, give test one on one, etc.
• Give opportunities for their strengths to shine with their peers
• Make room physically assessible for the student
• Work in small groups or one on one
• Break work into smaller chunks
• Don’t make them the class mascot
11. Strategies for Gifted Students
• offer gifted students the most difficult problems first. They need
deeper and more complex assignments. they like a challenge.
• enable gifted students to work together on projects or at least part
of the day.
• don't overuse gifted students as your coteachers for low performing
students.
• don't confuse high achievers with high ability.
• don't give them too many directions on how to complete a
task. Tell them what the end result to be and let their creativity and
mind take over.
• understand that misbehavior in gifted students may come from
boredom.
• if you suspect a student is gifted, get them tested! they deserve
accommodations and modifications just as much as a disabled
student.
12. BUT… The reality is….
There is NO magic special
education fairy that will FIX
your special education
students.

15. Children's Literature Bibliography -
see Bb
50 points• For this assignment, you need to find 15 children's books that you can use
to help teach a diversity issue. You need to have the bibliographic
information for the book, and then write 2-3 sentences on what topic you
would teach from the book. I would utilize sources on the internet to help
you.
• Example of format:
• Title, author, ISBN #: 2-5 sentences summary how you would use this book
to teach diversity.
• Example: Out of my Mind, Sharon M. Draper, ISBN# 9781416971719: This
book's main character is unable to communicate through speech nor
writing. It is only after she is given a computer and learns to use it with
her disability, that she can communicate with others. Once
communication started, people realize how brilliant she is. Great book
about teaching about the accommodations and expectations of disabled
students.
16. Children's Lit Presentation
see Bb for details- 30 Points
• For this assignment, you will choose one of your books
from your bibliography assignment. You will prepare a
Powerpoint slide with the following information.
• 1. A photo of the book
• 2. A summary of the book to use as a guide as you
present to the class.
• 3. 2 activities that you would develop to extend the book
with your students. (food, videos, art, writing
assignments, music, discussion, etc.)
• Your presentation should only be about 3 - 4 minutes
long. Once again, you will be graded on your speaking
skills that we used for your Cultural Interview.

Enemy Pie written by Derek Munson
SUMMARY
It was the perfect summer until Jeremy Ross moved into the house
down the street and became neighborhood enemy number one.
Luckily Dad had a surefire way to get rid of enemies: Enemy Pie. But
part of the secret recipe is spending an entire day playing with the
enemy! This little boy learns that you can turn your enemy into
your best friend. It is hard to hate people once we get to know
them and spend time with them. This is a great story for teaching
about friendship and not judging a book by its cover.
Activities to do with this book:
1. Brainstorm what an enemy is. Make enemy pie. Give
students a paperplate and let them create items to glue on
their plate that they would put in a pie for their
enemy. (worms, bugs, etc.. After the story, have them
create another pie with things they would now include in a
friend pie.
2. Think of someone in your school that you do not
particularly like. Do not tell anyone who it is. Go out of
your way to be nice to them this week and do 3 acts of
