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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
2. 2012-2013
Dear Second Grade Families,
Welcome to the second grade! This is an exciting time for
students, parents, and teachers. By working together, we
will make this school year a wonderful experience. I value
parent communication and participation. It is my goal to
form a team between you, your child, and myself. I hope
to work together to allow your student to achieve his or
her own personal best. I find that it is easier to reach me,
as well as get a quicker response, via e-mail because I can
check that from home and throughout the day. If you
have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact
me.
School: 248-684-8085 ext. 5821
Email: ealyk@huronvalley.k12.mi.us
I look forward to working with you to make this a magical
year of learning for your child!
Sincerely,
Kristin Ealy
3. Dismissal Policies
The first bell rings at 9:08 and children will be allowed to enter the building. Classes
begin at 9:13 a.m. School dismissal is at 4:05 p.m.
If there is ever a change in the daily routine for your child as far as afternoon
transportation is concerned, please send a note to me so that I can make sure that your
child ends up in the proper place at the end of the day. For example, if your child
normally rides the bus and you are picking them up, please let me know in a note,
otherwise I will put them on their bus. If you do not send a note, your child will be
directed to take their normal mode of transportation home that day.
Also, if you need to pick your child up from school early, please send a note. Please
remember that it is district policy to allow 24 hours to prepare homework for your child
when they are absent or picked up early. You will also need to sign him/her out in the
office. The office will call down to the room when you arrive and I will send your child
to the office. Please do not go directly to the classroom as this causes unnecessary
interruptions during valuable learning time.
School Age Care
Please inform me, and the office, of your child’s school age care schedule.
Bus Passes
If your child would like to ride the bus home with another child, please do not call the
school. Please call transportation at 248.684.8200 since they are processing all bus
passes. You will still need to send a note to me so that I know where to send your child
at the end of the day
School Safety and Security
To ensure your child’s safety, all of the doors will be locked except the main doors by
the office. All parents and visitors must enter the school through those doors and then
4. sign in at the office before proceeding any further. A visitor’s badge will be given to
you at this time. Walking to their classroom on their own is a responsibility that we want
to instill in the children so please give them the opportunity to practice this
independence.
Green Emergency Cards
Please fill out both sides and return this to school as soon as possible. We need to
have these cards on file in the event that your child becomes ill or hurt during the day.
If there are ever any changes that need to be updated on the green card, please notify
us immediately so that we can make the corrections. Please make sure to note allergies
or other illnesses so that we can make the appropriate accommodations at school.
Parent Parking and Student Pick-Up
When picking your child up after school, please pull up in the parent pick up lot. This lot
is located in the front of the school. It is U-shaped so traffic can flow in easily and
this way you will not interfere with the buses. There is plenty of adult supervision
outside to ensure student safety so you can stay in your vehicle and pull up beside the
sidewalk; your child will then be allowed to enter your car. We do not let unassisted
children cross in front of or behind running vehicles. Please understand that this area
can get very congested if people do not follow the rules and that we have these rules
for your child’s safety. If you do need to park your car, please do so in the parking lot
on the north side of the building or out front in a designated spot.
School Absences
If your child is going to be absent for the day, please call the School Absentee Line at
684-8085. If you forget to call and report the absence you will receive a call asking
about your child’s attendance. If your child is absent, their work will be saved and sent
home on the day they return. Please complete it and return it as soon as possible.
Please try to maintain good attendance throughout the year. 2nd grade is an important
year and what we learn one day will be built upon the next. When your child misses an
excess of school they miss valuable learning that cannot be duplicated at home. I
understand that sicknesses, etc. will occur throughout the year, they will happen to me
too, but please make every effort to have them here every day possible.
Tardiness
Please try to have your child at school on time everyday. Class instruction begins
promptly at 9:13. If your child comes in late, they will most likely miss morning routines
and/or directions. Then they will have to spend time trying to make up what has been
missed and this causes them to start the day out behind the others. Let’s try to start
everyday on a positive note with them all present, on time, and ready to learn!
5. Extended Vacations
I do not encourage extra vacations during the school year However, in the event that it
cannot be avoided, please let me know and we can try to arrange to have the work sent
with you on your trip or it can be saved to be completed when you return.
Leadership Model
Today’s students need the skills and self-confidence to succeed as leaders in the 21st
Century. They need to be able to communicate clearly, to work as a team, to be self-
motivated and analytical thinkers. Students need the organizational and technical skills
to compete in a global society. Building cooperative relationships as well as nurturing
responsibility, kindness, and good judgment are the basis for creating a successful
community of learners.
I believe it is our responsibility to develop our young students as leaders by providing
them with the skills that will allow them to handle themselves in any given situation.
This fall, I will begin to help students put these habits into practice. The following
principles will be embedded in our classroom and school culture as well as guide the
students in building the leadership model. Each principle will be discussed in the
classroom more thoroughly.
Give Best Effort
Think First
Think Win-Win
Show Respect
Follow Rules
At the start of the year, students will write about their Hopes and Dreams for the
school year. This helps to ensure that we will build a strong classroom community
allowing everyone to achieve their Hopes and Dreams for the year. Additionally, this
helps students to explore the areas in which they could be leaders.
6. Reward System
To create and uphold a positive learning environment for all students, the children will
participate in a year long classroom economy unit in which they will earn credits and
debits. This activity is cross-curricular since students will be learning major economic
concepts, as well as using math skills on a daily basis.
Throughout each week, students can earn “Ealy Bucks” for any number of
things such as classroom jobs, following rules, showing good character,
putting extra effort into schoolwork, and being responsible. Debits are
given when students break “laws” (classroom rules) in our community of learners.
Each student will visit the classroom bank to trade single bucks for larger bills and save
the money in a personal wallet. At the end of each month, they will be able to shop at
our store with the cash they have accumulated. I would love any donations for this
program. The dollar store would be a great place to find these items. The class store
will be used not only to give students “hands on” experience with money, but also to
teach economic lessons that include decision making, opportunity cost, supply and
demand, and inflation.
Item suggestions:
plastic rings puzzles coloring books
stickers erasers books
decks of cards necklace beads toys
big candy bars note pads gel pens
diaries/journals yo-yos funky straws
fancy pencils
Homework
You and I both want your child to do well in school. Part of this important learning
experience includes homework. Beyond academic growth, many life skills are formed in
these early years. Organization, neatness, responsibility, and integrity are just a few.
Your child would greatly benefit from your support and encouragement of good work
habits at home. You should expect to see some type of homework to do each night. It
will primarily be: Math Home-links, Weekend Writing, and our Book N’ Bag program.
Please observe how your child is doing at home with these assignments. If you are
seeing some difficulty or confusion, please let me know. That information will assist
with my lessons in the future. All homework needs to be signed/initialed by a parent.
This acknowledges that you have reviewed this with your child and are aware of the
7. curriculum being taught at that time. Students will bring home a “Weekly Planner”
which lists behavior for the morning and afternoon and any homework that has been
assigned for the day. Please check your child’s binder each day and initial this form.
Classroom Website
This year I have decided to develop a classroom website. I believe it will be a great way
to have a successful school and home connection. The website will be available to see
upcoming events, newsletters, assignments, and useful websites. I am very excited
about this new addition to our classroom! The website is:
www.ealysclassroom.weebly.com
Book N’ Bag Program
A primary focus of my literacy instruction is to expose students to many different
reading strategies and purposes, as well as different genres. Weekly books will be sent
home on Friday and need to be returned the following Friday. This book should be read
numerous times throughout the week. Although it may occasionally appear easy for your
child, they can always improve their fluency and expression! There will be a homework
page to compliment each book. On Friday, various literacy activities will be taking place,
so it is imperative that everyone is prepared! Additional information will come home
when we launch the program in late October/beginning of November. Later in the
school year, we will alternate this program with a weekend writing assignment.
Spelling
Spelling will be a two-part, multi-level subject this year. Our program will be focused
around two aspects: sight words and spelling patterns. Practice will occur in class. The
words your child is tested on will be at his/her individual level and a pre-test will be
given to figure out that ability level. Your child will bring home a test at the end of the
week to show you their progress.
Book Orders
Occasionally your child will bring home book order forms. They are a great source for
buying quality literature at a very inexpensive cost. If you would like to order books
from a book order, please send either cash or a check made out to the appropriate book
club. Notes will always accompany the order form to help you out with the process.
8. During the school year you may also receive orders for different magazines and book
clubs. I do not expect you to order from all of these but many times even a “not
interested” response that is returned to school entitles the class to free gifts. So,
please return all forms with your signature.
Birthdays
Everyone loves to celebrate their special day! If you wish to bring in a birthday treat,
that’s great! We will always make time, but bringing the treat in the morning is very
helpful. If your child was born on a date outside of the school year, they can celebrate
during their week as Star Student. Please send in any plates, napkins, cups, etc. that
are necessary to serve the snack.
Student of the Week
We will be having a star student bulletin board. A special poster will come home the
week before your child is star student to decorate our display. Your child will have a
special spot to sit at during this week!
Snack Time
Each day we will take one short snack break in the morning. As part of our health
curriculum this year, the children will be learning about healthy eating. It is for this
reason that the snack your child brings into our classroom needs to be a healthy,
nutritious snack. Items such as carrots, celery sticks, fresh fruits and vegetables,
cheese and crackers, pretzels, and popcorn are great choices!! Unhealthy snacks will
be taken back home and a healthy snack will be provided. Our classroom is carpeted
so please do not send juice boxes for snack time, water will be the only drink allowed in
the classroom. Your children are allowed to have their own water bottle to keep on
their desk, but please make sure that the lids fit on tight.
9. Meal Schedule
The doors will open at 8:55 for those students who would like to eat breakfast at
school. If your child rides a bus and would like to eat breakfast at school, please just
let the bus drivers know via a note about that plan so that they know to let your child
off the bus early. Lunch and recess are scheduled from 12:35-1:20 each day.
Breakfast $ 1.00
Hot Lunch (including milk) $ 2.50
Milk $ 0.50
* The cafeteria encourages you to prepay for your student’s lunch as it helps them move
through the line quicker and allows more time for eating. To do so, send in a check or
cash with the amount you want added to your child’s account. A note will be sent home to
you when the account is running low.
*If you’re sending money to school, please send it in an envelope, zip-lock baggie, coin
purse, or any other safe way you can think of. Please be sure to write your child’s name
on it. If your child should forget or lose their lunch money, they are to let the lunch
supervisor know and they will be given a hot lunch; a charge for that lunch will be added
to your account.
Popcorn
Every Friday is Popcorn Day! Your child will have an opportunity to purchase a bag of
popcorn for 25 cents a bag. A teacher always sponsors these Popcorn Days and the
proceeds go toward supplies for their classrooms. If you’d like to volunteer to help pop
popcorn, look for the sign-up sheets at Parent Night!
Specials Schedule
Monday – PE
Tuesday –Art
Wednesday – PE and Music
Thursday – Music and Library
10. Friday – Wellness
**Computer lab time is still to be determined**
Weekly News
Every week I will be writing a classroom newsletter to help keep you aware of
everything that happens in our classroom. In the newsletter I will summarize what has
been learned during the week, notify you of upcoming events, and let you know if special
classroom materials are needed, etc. This year I will be going paperless with
newsletters and posting each week on our classroom website. If you are unable to
access our website, please let me know and I will send home a paper copy.
Parent Night
Oxbow’s Parent Night is scheduled for September 13th from 6:30-8. This is a time for
the parents to come in and learn about the curriculum. Each teacher provides two
sessions in case you have two children at Oxbow. You will also be able to sign up for
conferences and party donations during Parent Night.
Parent/Teacher Conferences and Report Cards
Parent/teacher conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, October 17th and Thursday,
October 25th. If you have any questions before your conference I would be more than
happy to talk or meet with you. Please call and leave a message or send a note in with
your child. I will return the call or note as soon as possible.
Like last year, the district will no longer be printing report cards. Families will be able
to view their child’s report card via Family Access. If you are unable to access the
internet, a hard copy will be available upon request only.
If there is anything else that has not been covered in this handbook, watch for it in my
weekly newsletters.
