Teachers in basic education in developing countries are faced by extreme resource limitations. Thus for both pre-service and in-service training, here is a tool that enables them to engage their learners for faster, deeper learning and lifelong learning.
Confucius wisely said, “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” As trainers of systems, we recognize the importance of live training and hands-on practice in a classroom. However, as we’re moving into the virtual classroom to reduce expenses, we need a whole new skill set to engage learners. During this workshop, exchange practical ideas that you can use to engage learners by promoting “doing” and understanding in remote instruction. Explore some of the issues you may encounter, and learn possible solutions.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

14. Teaching the Concept of First/Then
• To teach this concept we often
do a very brief non-preferred activity
followed by a preferred activity to
help the child see success.
• To make it concrete, in the beginning
First-Then Marker Boards we will use objects to show where
with All Done Magnets
and what they are being asked to do
EXAMPLE: “First put in (showing a
coin they need to put in), then
marble game (showing a marble) .

TIP 2: You can take the baby, and block work systems to the direct
instruction table to teach play skills in a more controlled one on one
setting if needed.
TIP 3: If you have students who avoid the pretend play center or block
area, etc. add items of interest to those areas to lure them in.

38. If there is a chaotic moment in your classroom
(or with a specific student), the routine needs to
be retaught or a new work system needs to be put
in place.
- Philosophy from the work of
Dr. Becky Bailey and Conscious Discipline
42. Other Visual Supports:
To support independence and success
Prompt to use one or Visual to support a
two paper towels student in putting
their bookbag on
correctly.
Visual to support students
in waiting to wash their hands. 42
43. Use quick prompts and visuals to support and
teach these skills. Visuals prompts are easier to
fade as the ultimate goal is for students to
complete work independently.

Editor's Notes
Waiting their turn, cause and effect and first- then, listening and complying, in seat behavior, and time on task. I always say that my job is the best job around. We get kids early on to shape and model their behavior for a successful education in the future but that also makes our job one of the toughest jobs around!!! When they come to use they essential have no appropriate in school behavior. They don’t know what it means to line up, sit in group, or transition from one activity to the next.
We have to put systems in place for children to learn the concept of first then and really understand what is being asked of them and what is and is not acceptable. We can do this by providing schedules and visual prompts for children.
You can also have class schedules that are manipulated by staff and students throughout the day to show when you are all done. I often put key visuals on schedules for skills each child is specifically working on. For example: I would tape a waiting hands icon to the back of a clipboard schedule or a raise your hand to talk. That way staff always have the visuals they need to shape behavior and we can all keep track of which skills specific children are working on.
To support the students at each activity they transition to using their individual schedules we develop work systems. Work systems are. . .
We wear aprons so we have needed supplies on hand.
This system is used when our SLP and OT come in for group times they lead. Although everyone leads different the children can see the pattern because the same work system is in place.
An accommodation that has been made for a few of our kids is making the first then more immediate by having the child do one step of the art project then letting them play with the preferred activity (typically play dough) for 1 minute using a timer then going back to the art project.
Showing step by step to make the system less overwhelming.
For example: our snack time looked very ugly last year. In evaluating the activity I realized that staff was busy setting up for snack making it difficult for them to help the children shape their behavior and wash their hands for snack so we created a worksystem where the student helped set up for snack and staff were available for them to help with it.
Sometimesworksystems are not enough----we have to modify the setting to train students for success.
In my classroom I like to provide color cues. Green for go and Red for stop.
Other times we use social stories and video modeling to teach specific skills
