Who are slow learners? Who are weak students? Why do we call slow learners? How can we identify weak students in the classroom? Does weak student really exist in the classroom? We need to understand the nature of learner. Why do learners become weak in academic?
Minute observation of weak students and proper monitoring of academically weak student can bring magical result. We need to work on weak student. Academically weak child is not the result of his physical and mental deficiency but the poor parental and system failure.

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.

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.

Read| The latest issue of The Challenger is here! We are thrilled to announce that our school paper has qualified for the NATIONAL SCHOOLS PRESS CONFERENCE (NSPC) 2024. Thank you for your unwavering support and trust. Dive into the stories that made us stand out!
1. By : Kristen Bradley Closing the Achievement Gap at Eureka Elementary
2. Take a deep breath… “Fifty-five years after Brown vs. Board of Education, forty years after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and twenty-five years after the publication of A Nation at Risk, we must confront the shameful national reality: if you are an African American or Latino child in this country, the probability is high that our public education system will fail you, that you will not graduate from high school, that your ability to function successfully in the twenty-first Century economy will be limited, and that you will have no real prospect of achieving the American dream.” Ellen Winn, Director, Education Equality Project, National Journal, 2009
3. That should not and WILL NOT be our reality at Eureka Elementary “We do whatever it takes to ensure all students realize their potential”
4. WWhat is the Achievement Gap? The achievement gap is defined as the observed disparity on a number of educational measures between the performance of groups of students, especially groups defined by gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (Wikipedia, 2011) Tied closely with the achievement gap is the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002.
5. What is the No Child Left Behind Act? NCLB Act of 2002, is a bill that was put into play by President George W. Bush. It gives statewide expectations to the schools and holds the school and teachers accountable for good or poor test results. The idea is that the results will get better with each year and by 2014, ALL students will be performing at the designated state standards and on grade level.
6. What are contributing factors to the Achievement Gap? Quality Preschool Socioeconomic status Cultural environment Family life (parent involvement) Attendance at school Teacher quality
7. Many studies suggest that children who attend a quality preschool are far more likely to get better grades, stay in school, and have better jobs than those who do not attend a quality preschool. “All over the world, your chances of success in school and life depend more on your family circumstances than on any other factor. By age three, kids with professional parents are already a full year ahead of their poorer peers. They know twice as many words and score 40 points higher on IQ tests. By age 10, the gap is three years.” – Mourshed and August
8. Socioeconomic Status These students are coming from low income families that do not have the means to provide educational resources at home.
9. Cultural Environment We have to remember that not all of our students have the same upbringing. We need to acknowledge that and be accepting of different life styles and religions. If a child feels unaccepted in the school setting then learning is going to take a back seat to his or feelings.
14. Lack of interest in child’s schooling = low motivation for child
15.
16. TEACHER QUALITY The only factor we CAN control is the quality of our teaching. We have to use our resources, get creative, and do everything we can to ensure that these students match up with their current grade level.
17. At Eureka Elementary, 9% of our population is African American, 2.4% is Hispanic, and 83.9% is White. The percentage students that are free and reduced is 16.2%. Our MAP data tells us that these students are struggling in the classroom and we need to figure out what we can do to help them and bring them up to grade level. www.rockwood.k12.mo.us What does this mean for Eureka Elementary?
18. Black Students # of students who are proficient and showing growth Free/Reduced Students # of students who are proficient and showing growth Communication Arts Only 9 out of 27 students are proficient and showing growth Math 18 out of 27 students are proficient and showing growth Communication Arts 27 out of 49 students are proficient and showing growth Math 35 out of 49 students are proficient and showing growth Eureka Elementary MAP Data(www.rockwood.k12.mo.us)
19. What does this information mean to teachers? IF you look closely at our data, you see that we have several students who are falling into the achievement gap, we have students who are not growing and working at least 1 grade level behind. It is up to us to identify their needs, areas of struggle, and provide them with the resources to become successful.

24. 7 Correlates and what they mean… According to Ron Edmonds of Harvard University, students of all backgrounds can learn and be successful. After completing a study to find schools that were successful in closing the achievement gap, he found that the schools that were successful shared the same seven characteristics. He called them the 7 correlates. Edmonds proposed that the schools with the most successful students followed these seven correlates…
25.
26. High Expectations for Success ~ Set goals for your students, don’t just make sure they are attainable, but make the students work for it. Aim high.
27. Instructional Leadership ~ The principal is the role model for the teachers, parents, and students. The principal follows the school mission and leads by example.
28.
29. Safe and Orderly Environment ~ Students need to feel safe in your room and school. Learning needs to be a top priority, not taking a backseat to worrying or fear.
