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.
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.

THE JOB OF A COPY EDITOR
5. Even a small mistake can lead a reader to doubt the
accuracy of the newspaper.
WHY IS COPYEDITING IMPORTANT?
7. Put out by the Associated Press
Considered “the Bible of the newspaper industry”
First Stylebook was produced in 1953 and was a booklet of
60 pages
1977 – Stylebook underwent a major revision
“Part dictionary, encyclopedia, textbook”
AP STYLEBOOK
8. When & how to use punctuation marks
About sports
What words to capitalize
The difference between affect and effect
Media law (Fair use and Freedom of Information Act)
THINGS THE AP STYLEBOOK TELLS US
9. Organized alphabetically
Find the category
Example:
The newspaper is called The Eagle Angle.
The newspaper is called The Eagle Angle.
Which is correct?
HOW TO USE AN AP STYLEBOOK
11. For time or location:
Spell out first through ninth
Starting with 10th, use figures
Note that the “th” is not a subscript
Exceptions:
Addresses Example: 7th Street
ORDINALS (UNDER NUMERALS)
12. Spell out whole numbers below 10
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine
Use figures for 10 and above
10, 20, 100
Spell out all numbers at beginning of sentences, but reword if
at all possible to not start sentence with a number
Follow these rules for percentages also, but ALWAYS spell out
percent. Do not use %.
WHOLE NUMBERS (UNDER NUMERALS)
13. Always use figures, without st, nd, rd or th.
Always capitalize the names of months.
When a month is used with a SPECIFIC DATE, abbreviate only Jan., Feb.,
Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov. and Dec.
Spell out all months when used alone or with a year alone.
Examples:
Today is Monday, Oct. 3.
This is the month of October.
When a phrase lists a month, day and year, set off year with commas.
On Oct. 3, 2011, we learned about AP style.
DATES (UNDER DATES & MONTHS)
14. a.m.
p.m.
Avoid redundancies.
Examples: 8 a.m. in the morning should just read 8 a.m.
TIME
15. Do NOT put a comma before a conjunction (and/or) in a
series.
Example:
Today we discussed numbers, dates and commas.
THIRD COMMA IN A SERIES
16. It’s is a contraction. It means “it is”.
Examples of correct uses would be:
It’s raining outside.
It’s the first Monday of the month.
It’s almost the end of the period.
Its is possessive.
Examples of correct uses include:
The company lost its assets.
The team lost its starting quarterback.
Its VS. IT’S
17. Lowercase and spell out titles when they are not used with an
individual’s name.
The principal decided to reduce the length of lunches.
Lowercase and spell out titles when they are set off from a name
by commas.
The principal, Steve Payne, moved back into his former position.
Capitalize FORMAL titles when they are used before a person’s
name.
Formal titles generally denote authority, a professional activity
or an academic activity.
“We need the election,” Superintendent Ken Helvey said.
Titles that serve as occupational descriptions are NOT formal
titles and should be lowercased.
The store is run by business teacher Cheryl Lee.
“I am really excited about the new band hall,” senior John Doe said.
“It was a great game,” head coach Tom Westerberg said.
TITLES
18. This can be tricky, but assume that your readers know
everything you write about is for Allen High, so you don’t write
Allen, Allen High School or AHS in your stories.
For example, read the following sentence:
The new AHS band hall is 9,200 square feet.
You would take out AHS, so the sentence should just read:
The new band hall is 9,200 square feet.
ALLEN OR ALLEN HIGH SCHOOL

PRACTICE WITH COPYEDITING & AP STYLE
22. With more than half of the team failing the first six weeks,
the freshman football team will struggle even harder to
improve on its 0-6 record.
“We’re getting better each week,” Coach Bubba Stevensson
said. “More kids are moving to the front and being leaders.
We hope to be able to score a touchdown next game.”
With few players on the team, many must play offense and
defense.
“We’re improving,” Stevensson said. “They’ll do all right.”
The team enters the last part of the year without an
experienced quarterback but with standout fullback Jim
Jones.
(Need a direct quote from Jones here.)
The team won’t forfeit any games, though.
“We will be playing with or without players,” Stevensson
said.
