The document provides an overview and summary of the 2014-15 activities of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Youth Council. It discusses that the Youth Council involved 120 student leaders from 38 high schools across Mecklenburg County who contributed over 3,000 hours to community education, leadership, and service. They engaged with city, county, and school district leaders on key issues like education, economic opportunity, race relations, and student voice. Through their involvement, students gained experience with civic processes, explored careers, and provided informed youth perspectives to community leaders.

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.

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.

KEY ISSUES IMPORTANT TO YOUTH
Through dialogue, research, and meetings with officials, students identified the following
critical issues impacting children and youth. The youth council will continue to learn about and
work with community leaders to address these issues in FY16.
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, AND SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT
We want all students to have access to a great education and not face learning
opportunity gaps. We believe that every student deserves equal opportunities at school
and outside of school. We know that most of are schools are good, but we want all to be
excellent. We want all students to have good opportunities to learn and succeed. We
are concerned to learn that our schools are getting increasingly segregated by race and
socioeconomics. We know there are many factors to consider, and are not sure what
the answer is…and want to help community leaders feedback, solutions, and ideas.
RACE RELATIONS
Why don’t people work together? We read the news, and see what it happening in our
neighborhoods, schools, community, and nation. We know there is a solution.
STUDENT VOICE
What is the future of Charlotte‐Mecklenburg and North Carolina? We are. We want the
community and state to grow and be successful in the future so that we, as today’s
students, can be here work, live, play, and lead as adults. We are invested in making the
community great now, and for the future. The Charlotte‐Mecklenburg Youth Council is
available to provide officials with feedback and ideas.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
We learned about, discussed, and gave feedback on several other issues, such as:
Neighborhoods and community engagement
CMS topics such as the calendar, budget, superintendent, literacy, student
representation on the school board, and cultural proficiency initiatives
Community growth, planning and land‐use, including green‐space, parks, libraries,
roads, housing, and infrastructure
Prioritizing, funding, and budgeting for government services, needs, and wants;
public budgeting, capital and operating budgets

WHO WE ARE
Youth represent the widely diverse Charlotte‐Mecklenburg community. Youth attend public,
charter, religious, and independent high schools and home schools and live in neighborhoods
across the community. There is diversity in gender, race/ethnicity, socio‐economics, and
factors such as religion, LGBTQ status, physical handicaps, political ideologies, career interests,
and having non‐English speaking parents.

Youth are recruited through school leadership, guidance counselors, teachers, student
government and newspaper advisors, local governments, youth organizations, social media,
news media, and other ways.
The youth council is designed to be inclusive, offering opportunities for students to attend a
meeting on a topic of interest or to engage more deeply through meetings, service, and
leadership.
An additional 100+ students applied to participate and receive regular information and meeting
announcements, and participate in surveys, follow youth council activities, etc. and have not
participated in a physical meeting.
Factors impacting participation include transportation challenges, particularly in areas of on the
county perimeter, as well as competing activities. For example, the Lake Norman area has its
own youth council. Myers Park students are exposed to a large number of extracurricular
activities. Participation is actively monitored, and recruiting ensures a representative council.
Importantly, youth are limited by busy schedules and by external factors such as family issues,
jobs, sports, transportation, weather, homework, etc. Even if members can’t attend every
meeting, all are still committed to making Charlotte‐Mecklenburg a better place!
