This document outlines a virtual teaching method for students to examine power and privilege. It begins with introducing concepts of privilege through identity wheels and a virtual privilege walk. Students anonymously score their privilege levels across categories. This allows introspection on advantages. The goals are to help students identify their power to advocate for others, transform power into an empowering resource, and advance social justice. Interactive activities and small group discussions facilitate processing feelings and perspectives on privilege. The overall aim is for students to recognize and responsibly utilize their power and privilege to assist marginalized groups.

Evaluate the idea that educators must “sell” their ideas about how schools should be organized. Determine where you stand on this idea and explain why.
Determine how best to identify the needs of the stakeholders that the schools should serve. Provide support for your viewpoint that will address potential issues raised by people who disagree.
Peer Response
I think that the idea that teachers have to sell their ideas is understandable but at times unnecessary. I should not have to sell someone of power on the idea that my school needs more resources when you can clearly see it. I understand that at times, you may have to sell specifics on how to get those resources (to an extent), but teachers work in this field everyday, our voice should have more say than anyone’s and I do not think it always does. It is one thing to tell someone an idea but it is another when I have to try to convince you of something that is evident. My school district is pretty much behind any type of academic reform we can introduce in our classroom. My district is actually reshaping our whole system; “The urgency of the reform effort was necessitated by low student performance outcomes, the low-student performance outcomes, the introduction of significantly higher academic standards, an organization culture challenged by mistrust and negative public perception of the school system” (MNPS,p.1, 2012). MNPS has employed a ‘Theory of System Change’ that embodies (MNPS, p.3, 2012) which fosters personalized learning in the classroom. Research has shown that this component will improve the “student success rate”.
I see stakeholders at the school I serve in 3 phases/tiers. I look at the relationships of the administration (principals, district personal, investment members and instructional coaches), relationships of the instructional staff (teachers and support staff) and finally the relationships of community stakeholders (community members, students and parents). The 3 tiers I have mentioned is also the way I would prioritize communication. I would first want to get buy in from the individuals who makes the decision and would the adopters of my program. I would want to consider their overall vision and needs for this school which is step 3 in the developmental and information decision process models ‘visualization’ of the adopter.
I know that there are opposing views to the way I view stakeholders. The last tier I mentioned is not to say that those groups of people are least important, in fact they are the reason that we do what we do, so I would like to address all the other groups in order to serve students and community holistically. In a study conducted by Hughes, Matt, and O’Reily (2015) they noted that [teacher] “participants responded regarding their experiences of perceive support, received support, and how they feel support affects teacher retention” (p.130).

Week 3 Instructor Guidance
As you were reminded in Week 2, remember it is a good idea to look ahead to Week 4 to prepare for the group activity – ask questions now in our Ask Your Instructor if you are unclear about any of the requirements for the group activity.
WEEKLY LEARNING OUTCOMES
Before moving any further, please take a moment to review and reflect on our learning expectations for the week; these are also listed with their alignment to each assessment for the week on the Week 3 Unit page:
· Discuss key ideas, values, and beliefs when creating a vision statement at the school.
· Devise a plan to include all stakeholders in the planning, creation and implementation process.
· Develop activities, for all stakeholders, in the vision creation process.
· Discuss the need to include district goals in regards to creating vision statements.
· Analyze the resources that each set of stakeholders brings to the successful implementation of the school vision.
· Discuss different strategies for stakeholder ownership in creating the vision statement
WEEK 3 – OVERVIEW
In Week Two, you provided justification on creating a new vision to your school board and school stakeholders. Additionally, you compared different visions to identify key components that comprise an effective vision. This week we have two discussions and an assignment. Review the guidance below and be sure to review the full instructions for each assessment on the Week 3 Unit page.
Discussion 1: In the Who to Include discussion, you reflect on which stakeholders are most effective to include in the modification or creation of a new vision for the school.
Discussion 2: The Planning Activities discussion is where you go more deeply into the vision process and determine what types of activities you need to plan to ensure the stakeholders have enough information to successfully create a vision.
Assignment: The assignment Join the Visionary Team is another opportunity to be creative and put your technology skills to use while showing what you know about recruitment to participate in a vision modification or creation. You will create a flyer that you could place in the school to attract stakeholders into joining a committee to create the school vision.

Another Committee!
As teachers, we are planning, creating, and teaching students and attending to all the intellectual and physical labor that teaching entails. We are busy professionals often with busy personal lives to manage as well. Often teachers stay long hours at their school site to ensure our practices are providing enough learning for the students to succeed. When we are faced with being put on a committee, it typically reduces our direct focus on our classroom activities. However, being on a committee is a significant duty as it is one of the best ways to have your voice heard around the school and to learn with your peers about a range of topics influencing your classroom practice.

Discussion: Membership in a Learning Community
Communities are, in essence, places where members are bonded to one another by mutual commitments and special relationships, where they share a set of ideas and values that they feel compelled to follow.
—Thomas Sergiovanni, “Small Schools, Great Expectations”
From the time they are born, people learn from others—long before they are aware of it. In many cultures, small family units gradually widen into larger communities, including communities of formal education that include teachers and independent scholars. In addition, within these larger communities, people often join smaller communities, such as sports teams, organizations, and informal friendship groups. As people progress through higher education, they make additional conscious choices about the communities of which they become a part, including those specifically geared toward learning and growth.
As a DBA independent scholar at Walden, you are not alone. You have made a conscious, self-directed decision to become part of the Walden learning community. Of course, at times it may be tempting, as you sit at your computer, to think of your pursuit of your degree as a solitary effort. It will take conscious commitment to engage as an active member who both learns from and contributes to a learning community.
As you watch and listen to others talk about the experience of being part of the Walden learning community and attending residency, reflect on the opportunities and responsibilities that exist for you. Consider your support strategy as you prepare your analysis.
To prepare for this Discussion, review this week’s readings and view the media “Being Part of a Learning Community and Attending Residency.” Also, listen to the insights offered by Walden DBA independent scholars in the interactive media piece “Voices of DBA Students.” Focus on the students’ explanations of what it means to be a part of the Walden learning community and their descriptions of their residency experience. Consider the week’s literature, along with your SWOT analysis, and assess your support needs.
By Day 3
Post an analysis of your role in your new learning community, including the support you require to complete your doctoral degree. In your analysis, be sure to do the following:
· Detail the steps you will take to establish your role in your new learning community.
· Categorize by your goals the individuals that are or will become members of your learning community.
· Assess how these individuals will support you in achieving your goals.
· Evaluate when and how you will reach out to your learning community to share your goals and needs.
· Identify challenges to building your learning community.
· Analyze your goals for residency—in particular, what you hope to contribute and what you hope to gain from spending time with others in your learning community.

eoffrey Canada said in a recent
presentation, “Education is the
only business I know of where
you can change anything you want, as
long as you change nothing” (2010).
After so much debate and so many
policies, why is our education system
still failing so many of our children?
What are we either missing or
pretending not to know?
Reforms only work when people
who implement them are on board,
engaged, and valued. What gets talked
about from the boardroom to the
classroom, how it gets talked about, and
who is invited to join the conversation
determines what will happen or won’t.
Are the driving conversations
dividing or connecting stakeholders?
Are they catalysts for change and
accountability, or are they further
entrenching people in fear and blame?
Is mandating accountability preventing
us from hearing and seeing the
competing truths that exist about our
students, classrooms, and schools?
Amid the spinning wheels of
education reform, an essential
component seems to be missing:
conversations that speak directly to the
heart of the issue, engage people’s
curiosity to uncover the truth, galvanize
people, and create collective
responsibility.
Leadership that attempts to create
accountability with top-down
mandates, rather than by engaging and
connecting people, leads to or
exacerbates a culture of blame and
excuses. Mandating accountability,
while it may sound effective, simply
doesn’t work. Why? Because most often
in practice this approach is fueled by
the same thing victimhood is fueled by
— blame. And as long as that’s the case,
there’s no time, energy, or vision left to
create real solutions.
A NeW VIeW OF AccOuNTABILITY
The long-term benefits of
accountability have enormous
implications for the quality of our lives
and of our education system. There is a
direct correlation between any
organization’s health and the degree of
accountability displayed by its
employees, top to bottom.
Accountability is an attitude, a
personal, private, and nonnegotiable
choice about how to live one’s life. It’s a
desire to take responsibility for results,
and for that reason, it cannot be
mandated. It requires a personal bias
toward solutions, toward action.
Rather than hold people
accountable, hold them
“able.” Rather than equate
the word accountability
with culpability, begin with
yourself and model the kind
of accountability that is
empowering. Accountability
has to come from within.
Model it and show people how
accountability benefits them. When it’s
clear how accountability benefits
someone, accountability becomes an
internal drive.
While we don’t always have a choice
about the situation in which we find
ourselves, we do have a choice about
how we view or judge it. Consider
shifting your perspective from ‘Since
this is a tough situation, I can’t do it,
I’m not willing to muster the courage,
will, skill, energy, focus, needed to do
or say what needs doing,’ to taking the
stance that ...

"Learning Organizations and Learning Communities"
Please respond to the following:
Examine the similarities and differences between learning organizations and learning communities. Create a scenario where it would be optimal for a learning organization and a learning community to collaborate and join forces.
Imagine that you are a teacher leader in a learning community. Describe the size and environment of your imaginary learning community. Propose at least three reasons why you could be considered a problem solver and an innovator.
Peer Response-
Examine the similarities and differences between learning organizations and learning communities. Create a scenario where it would be optimal for a learning organization and a learning community to collaborate and join forces.
My understanding of the differences between a learning community and a learning organization is that in a learning community is the interaction of groups of students or people who work together academically face to face, or electronically. Unlike a learning organization, a learning community is not considered being a formal organization, instead the curriculum happens to be more of a restructured program. The use of a learning community helps to increase student learning by linking courses and classwork as it will encourage students and teachers to collaborate together as a team to discuss or resolve any problems or issues that may present itself as a team. As for a learning organization on the other hand, is a formal organization that creates a culture that adapts to change and embraces growth. The use of a learning organization allows any new members to exchange their ideas and make sense of it as a team. Its said that transforming a school district to a learning organization will help promote profound learners v superficial learners that currently exists in our bureaucratic system.
Scenario:
An optimal learning and community organization joining forces and collaborating with one another would be in team building situation. Dealing with the many personalities on ones grade level there is always that someone who prefers to isolate themselves versus meeting as a whole team. I believe by incorporating these two organizations during a PLC meeting, or during grade level meetings will be a great way to collaborate and support each other by sharing and linking courses, ideas, and help solve any issues that may arise in their lesson plans. In doing so will certainly ensure that their students will thrive academically and become profound learners in the end.

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 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.

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.

trauma informed educational
practice
•Teach at both the Philadelphia
and West Chester campuses
3. Goals
Goal 1:
Learn how to identify your individual power to better
advocate for those who are lacking similar power and
privilege.
Goal 2:
Learn how to transform your power and privilege into a
resource that can be used to empower those who lack
similar power
Goal 3:
Learn how to utilize your power of privilege as a tool to
advance social justice causes in your agency and
community and empower future social workers
4. When you
think about
Power and
Privilege,
reflect on
these
statements:
◦ When thinking of my power and privilege, I
think__________
◦ But then I learned _________
◦ So now I think of my power and privilege
as__________
Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum
*We are going to revisit these questions at the
end*
5. Methodology
1. Introduce undergraduate social work students to the concept
of privilege (race, gender, gender identity, class, sexuality etc.).
Suggested: Identity and Social Location Wheel
2. Students complete a point scale adaptation of Peggy
McIntosh’s “Privilege Walk” to establish a baseline related to
privilege as an accessible way for them to comprehend the idea
of privilege in the context of their own positionality (McIntosh,
1989).
3. Introduce key concepts from Empowerment theory (Joseph,
2020; Laging & Heidenreich, 2019) and Critical Race
Theory (Daftary, 2018; Nakaoka & Ortiz, 2018; Pulliam,
2017) to raise student's consciousness.
4. Train students on the transforming technique of EACE
◦ Evaluate: Evaluate the situation
◦ Assess: Assess where and how you can be a transformative
resource
◦ Create: Create a situation that reestablishes balance
◦ Execute: Put your plan in action
6. What is
Privilege?
Webster defines Privilege as: “a special right, advantage,
or immunity granted or available only to a particular
person or group.”
Privilege manifests itself in a multitude of different
ways…instinctively, when we think of power, we think of
wealth, status, and prestige..
Privilege manifests itself in:
◦ Gender Identity
◦ Race
◦ Age
◦ Education
◦ Language
◦ Class
◦ Sexuality
◦ Ethnicity
◦ Age
7. How we learn
about
privilege?
Often a deficit-based narrative
Privilege is taught as something which puts others at a
disadvantage, but has not been taught as something
with corollary aspects, which puts some at an
advantage. (McIntosh, 1989)
We often vilify power or privilege.
We want to transform power and privilege into a
resource.
We want to embrace the beneficial qualities that come
with power and privilege.
8. Virtual Privilege
Walk
As we look to transform our
privilege, we first want to establish a
baseline related to privilege as an
accessible way to comprehend the
idea of privilege in the context of
student's own positionality.
This activity was adapted for use for an introductory social policy class with
students and also for a training for social work field instructors.
9. How do we train students virtually about
power and privilege?
1. We use Zoom as our virtual teaching platform.
2. Through a synchronous classroom design, we created an interactive
PowerPoint for students that includes worksheet activities designed to
establish a privilege baseline:
◦ Identity and Social Location Wheel
◦ Privilege Scale
3. After completion of the worksheet activities, students are placed in
small breakout groups to assist with processing.
4. Then, students will come back to the large room to share what they
learned with each other.
10. Privilege
Walk
Sample
Statements
See attached list for more
statements
1. Add three points if
you can do well in a
situation and not be
called a credit to your
race. If that could very
well happen to you, add
one point.
2. Add one if your ancestors
were forced to come to the
U.S. or forced to relocate
from their historical lands
in the U.S.; add three if that
did not happen to your
ancestors.
3. Add three if, in most
cases when you ask to
speak with the person in
charge, you will be facing a
person of your race; add
one if in most cases you
would not be facing a
person of your race.
4. Add three points if when
you learned about the
history of this country and
of civilization in general
your racial group was
primarily represented; if
not, add one.
5. Add one point if
English is not your first
language; add three
points if it is.
11. Break-out
Discussion
An example of what we would discuss in a
Break-Out room:
◦ Your total points
◦ Your perceived privilege
◦ Your actual privilege
◦ Were you where you thought you would be?
◦ How are you feeling?
◦ How comfortable are you with your position?
◦ Were there certain statements that were more
impactful than others?
13. Strengths and Challenges
Strengths
◦ Interactive design
◦ Putting theory to practice
◦ Introspective analysis of both power
and privilege
◦ Virtually, students can have a more
TIEP individualized experience and
share only as much as they feel
comfortable sharing
Challenges/Lessons Learned
◦ Virtually, it is difficult to gage student
reactions to a charged topic.
◦ A modified scale that includes various
dimensions of intersectional privilege
including education, sexuality, and age
would enhance the experience
◦ Privilege walks often center privilege
and has the potential to generate
internalized shame
14. Purpose of the Activity
This activity has been designed to provide participants (BSW
students or field instructors) with an opportunity to understand
the intricacies of privilege and to explore the ways that we enjoy
privileges based on being members of social identity groups in the
United States.
Please note that this exercise is not meant to make anyone feel
guilty or ashamed of their privilege or lack of privilege related to
any social identity categories. Rather, the exercise seeks to
highlight the fact that everyone has SOME privilege, even as some
people have more privilege than others. By illuminating our
various privileges as individuals, we can recognize ways that we
can use our privileges individually and collectively to work for
social justice. The purpose is not to blame anyone for having more
power or privilege or for receiving more help in achieving goals,
but to have an opportunity to identify both obstacles and benefits
experienced in our life.
15. Privilege
Walk
Directions for
Participants
As we look to transform our privilege, we first want
to establish a baseline related to privilege as an
accessible way to comprehend the idea of privilege in
the context of their own positionality.
This exercise that can create certain emotions such
as discomfort and vulnerability. Check in with
yourself.
To do this virtually, please use a blank piece of paper
to score yourself based on the points (points
represent steps) gains or losses.
Let’s prepare to walk (in the virtual sense). Envision
everyone starting at one end of a soccer field or a
large room together.
16. Virtual
Privilege Walk
Instructions
for Instructors
1) Review the purpose, then provide a content warning that
some statements may cause discomfort and/or
vulnerability. Thus, this activity should be introduced after
students/participants have developed some level of trust
and safety with one another. Participation should be
encouraged, but optional.
2) State the following: Listen to the following statements,
and follow the instructions given. I will read each
statement out loud that is also shown on the PowerPoint.
For example, if I read, “If you have blue eyes, add two
points, and if you have another eye color, add zero points,”
only people with blue eyes will add points to their
scoresheet. Each point represents a step.
3) This activity should be done in silence, and if anyone
feels uncomfortable taking points on any statement I read,
then you do not need to use this statement, but remember
the statement read. This is an introspective exercise and
it’s important for you to understand how privilege affects
your life, but it is not designed to make you share things
which you don’t wish to share.
17. Privilege Walk
Scoring
10-15: In U. S. society, many obstacles will be put in
place that will interfere with you getting the things
required to have what the society considers a good life,
simply because of your identity.
16-20: In U. S. society, some obstacles will be put in
place that will interfere with you getting the things
required to have what the society considers a good life,
simply because of your identity.
21-25: In U. S. society, some resources will be offered
to you that support you to get the things required to
have what the society considers a good life, simply
because of your identity.
26-30: In U. S. society, many resources will be offered
to you, whether or not you want them or ask for them,
that will support you to get the things required to have
what the society considers a good life, simply because of
your identity.
18. Individual
Reflection
Let’s take 10 minutes to discuss and process
our thoughts on:
◦ Your total points

Editor's Notes
Show vignettes from ABC special “What would you Do?” Have students apply EACE
The privilege scale has been modified to ask students a total of 10 related to privilege. Each question has been assessed a point value. The instructor will read each question aloud to students and they will respond with the appropriate point value. At the conclusion of the scale student will total up their points. A point scale has been created that assesses privilege based upon final point totals.
The instructor will read out the privilege scale and ask students to identify where they fall. After the exercise students and the professor will debrief on the experience.
Talk about the virtual process….How you are reading questions with students thru the screen share
Here are a few example questions. Via Zoom we use the screen share option feature to make it interactive and to provide a visual.
We read the questions outloud to students and assume the role as a facilitator through out the process
Next we have the students go to small breakout sessions...students always have the option to pass.
We sometimes share the whiteboard (and make it anonymous for students/or have it --- to have students place their number on a scale to create a visual)
This student centered virtual adaption fosters both collaborative learning and individualized learning about diversity-privilege white supremacy
Scoping review on simulations focused on advanced practice simulations and reviewed 52 articles about social work simulation and reviewed 14 best emerging best practices some of which we have incorporated into this introductory level social work level simulation at the BSW level students are doing this in activity in their sophomore year. Examples of the emerging best practices are to 1. Describe the theoretical framework or conceptual model. 2. Identify clear and concise competencies. 3. Prepare students adequately for simulated learning activities. 4. Design simulation with realistic scenarios that provide opportunities for students to demonstrate competencies 5. debrief simulation with students.
Table 5. Emerging Best Practices for Simulation-Based Learning. Emerging Best Practices 1. Describe the theoretical framework or conceptual model. 2. Identify clear and concise competencies. 3. Prepare students adequately for simulated learning activities. 4. Design simulation with realistic scenarios that provide opportunities for students to demonstrate competencies. 5. Train actors on the structure and objectives of the learning activity, role and scenario, level of affect in that role, and the expectations around giving feedback to students at the end of the simulation. 6. Develop teaching and assessment instruments that can be used pre-, during, and postsimulation. 7. Integrate culture and diversity components explicitly in the competencies, scenario, instruments, facilitation, feedback, reflection exercises, and debrief. 8. Train facilitator or instructor on teaching using simulation. 9. Provide practice opportunities to ensure students’ practice is observed. 10. Actively engage students who are not in the interviewing roledirected observation. 11. Provide focused feedback on practice for students. 12. Guide student reflections on practice and elicit oral and written student reflections. 13. Debrief simulation with students. 14. Evaluate simulation-based learning activity.
Optional processing have everyone in the room say one word as you go around the word about how they are feeling/doing post the activity. Participants can pass if they would like to do for this activity.
