This document discusses the importance of mentoring for effective teacher development. It outlines some of the roles of mentors, including language teacher, trainer, facilitator, and counselor. It also notes some potential pitfalls for mentors, such as not realizing the extent of their own ignorance or falling into the trap of thinking they know everything. The document examines evidence on current mentoring practices and finds a lack of clarity around mentor roles and little systematic support or training for mentors. It proposes some next steps, such as admitting problems, defining the desired type of teacher, and providing systematic support through a mentoring scheme to foster a culture change in teaching approach.

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”.
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.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

12. Mentor Trap 1!
It takes considerable knowledge just to
realize the extent of your own ignorance.
Thomas Sowell
You don’t know everything…maybe the Mentee is
right?
www.ces-schools.com
14. Evidence?
1. Is there a mentor programme/system formalised or even ad hoc
in your organisation (or in an organisation you have worked for)?
2. If so, what does the mentor typically have to do (in brief)?
3. For initial teachers, how long does the ‘mentorship’ period usually
last?
4. On what basis are mentors chosen in your organisation?
5. In your opinion, what is the point in mentoring:
●For the organisation
●For the mentee
●For the mentor
www.ces-schools.com
15. Key findings
1. Lack of clarity over the role
2. Little systematic support/training for ‘mentors’. Mentors are typically
‘readymade’.
3. Peer to peer ‘informal’ mentoring used (‘buddy system’)
4. Initial self reflection questionnaires as part of mentoring process
5. Onus for record keeping, etc. is on the Mentee
6. Mentor has control but not responsibility
7. Mentor is ‘first port of call’ for all queries
8. Mentorship Period (3 months typically)
9. Mentor Role at end of 3 months? Gatekeeper to further employment?
www.ces-schools.com
16. Next steps?
What were ours?
1. Admit that there is a problem.
2. What type of teacher do you want?
3. How can we best shape this type of teacher?
4. What would best support the teachers currently in the institution in
becoming the type of the teachers we would like them to be (while
continuing to be the type of teacher they want to be??)
5. Systematic, recorded, reflected, grounded in solid theory
www.ces-schools.com
17. Core Issues
1.Lack of clarity regarding Teacher Role
(Training vs Practice)
2.Lack of Clarity in Lesson Planning
(Coursebook vs Curriculum)
3.Lack of Rigour in Testing/Assessment
(Teacher vs Student expectations)
www.ces-schools.com
18. Core Solutions
Curriculum Redevelopment: Move towards a Behaviour-led
Curriculum.
●Culture change in approach to teaching
●Mentoring scheme to be top down and instructive until
CFD project implemented
●PDGs set up to foster ‘critical friends’, disseminate best
practice
● Future: Mentoring as ‘touch base’ activity
