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.

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.

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”.

8. Does This School Offer Scholarships?
• A merit-based scholarship is offered to students who have performed very well academically.
However, some merit-based scholarships are given to students who have excelled in a certain
field. Some groups such as the YMCA provide merit-based scholarships. Honor Societies also
offer this type of financial aid not only because of high academics but also because of the
merit and the implied prestige that surrounds the National Honor Society.
For example, an outstanding high school footballer who has made good grades can qualify for
this kind of aid award. Such a footballer does not need to have an average GPA of 4.0 for
generally a 2.50 or 2.75 GPA may be all that is needed because he has shown that he has a
high quality of responsibility, skill and determination when it comes to athletics. Other
students who may receive merit-based scholarships are exemplary artists and those who
have excellent leadership qualities.
• Need-based financial assistance is the second kind of financial aid. It determines the
monetary awarding requirements of an individual student. This type of University of Miami
scholarships is not offered to those students who come from well up families or those with a
lot of money as can happen in the case of merit-based scholarships. It helps only the students
who are in financial need.
