Multicultural education aims to create equal opportunities for all students and transform education. It critiques discriminatory practices and addresses shortcomings in education. It has goals like preparing students for a diverse society and helping students from all backgrounds succeed. Multicultural education has dimensions like incorporating diverse cultures into lessons, examining how knowledge is socially constructed, and empowering all student groups. Student subcultures form around shared identities and experiences, and fulfill functions like allowing specialized activities and providing identity. Culturally responsive teaching recognizes student diversity, builds on cultural backgrounds, and accommodates different learning styles.

Teachers ought to do three things, and that they have to teach students to do these three things.
And that is to know, to care and to act.
That is to say, in order to bring about reform and to bring about this self-transformation, we need knowledge. We cannot do it in ignorance. But knowledge is not enough. We also have to care and act.

INTRODUCTION:
Whenever two or more people come together with a shared purpose, they form a culture with its own written and unwritten rules for behavior. Our families, workplaces, and communities all have cultures. These cultures have a tremendous, though rarely recognized, impact upon our behavior as individuals.
Each cultural environment provides a set of standards to which we must adapt. Our behavioral patterns change dramatically from one cultural context to another. We are expected to behave in accordance with our cultures, but if we choose not to go along, we must be prepared for the consequences. When we select goals for ourselves that violate the culture, we must either change the culture or endure a never- ending struggle.
Changes in culture that are initiated by a group need cultural support of the members of the group, or else they will not last long. A supportive cultural environment is needed for a lasting change.

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”.
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
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.

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.
5. Multiculturalism
A theory about the foundations of a culture rather than a
practice which subsumes cultural ideas
Harrison (1984)
A systematic and comprehensive response to cultural and
ethnic diversity, with educational, linguistic, economic and
social components and specific institutional mechanisms
A policy that emphasizes the unique characteristics of
different cultures especially as they relate to one another in
receiving nations.
9. Demographic-Descriptive
Occurs where the word multicultural refers
to the existence of linguistically, culturally
and ethnically diverse segments in the
population of a society
11. Ideological-Normative
This usage of multiculturalism constitutes a
specific focus towards the management
and organization of governmental
responses to ethnic diversity
12. Exclusion
process of progressive social rupture, detaching groups
and individuals from social relations and institutions
and preventing them from full participation in the
normal, normatively prescribed activities of the society
in which they live.
Apartheid
Inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing
and maintaining domination by one racial group of
persons over any other racial group of persons and
systematically oppressing them
13. Ethnic cleansing
the attempt to create ethnically homogeneous
geographic areas through the deportation or forcible
displacement of persons belonging to particular ethnic
groups.
Genocide
the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of
people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or
race.
16. Multicultural Education
Field of study and an emerging discipline
whose major aim is to create equal
educational opportunities from racial, ethnic,
social class and cultural groups
Banks and Banks (1995)
• a progressive approach for transforming
education that holistically critiques and
addresses current shortcomings, failings and
discriminatory practices in education.
18. Goals of Multicultural Education
To transform school so that male and female
students, exceptional students from diverse
cultural, social-class, racial and ethnic groups
experience an equal opportunity to learn.
To help students to acquire knowledge,
attitudes and skills needed to function
effectively in pluralistic democratic society
19. Goals of Multicultural Education
To help students to acquire knowledge and
commitments needed to make reflective
decisions
To promote democracy and democratic living
To help students develop more positive
attitudes toward different racial, ethnic, cultural
and religious groups.
21. Level 4: SOCIAL ACTION
Students make decisions about their
world and become directly involved in
social actions
Level 3: TRANSFORMATION
Curriculum is changed so that
students see the world from the
different perspective of various groups
Level 2: ADDITIVE
Special units and topics about various
groups are added to, but not
fundamentally alter the curriculum
Level 1: CONTRIBUTIONS
Heroes, holidays and food become a
special focus on a particular day,
recognizing the contributions of
various groups
22. Every student must have an equal opportunity to
achieve her or his full potential
Every student must be prepared to competently
participate in an increasingly intercultural society
Teachers must be prepared to effectively facilitate
learning for every individual student
Shared Ideals of Multicultural
Education
23. Schools must be active participants in ending
oppression of all types
Education must become more fully student-
centered
Educators, activists and others must take a more
active role in reexamining all educational practice
and how they affect the learning of all students

Dimensions of Multicultural
Education
25. Content Integration
deals with the extent to which teachers use
examples and content from a variety of
cultures, and groups to illustrate key concepts,
generalizations, and issues within their subject
area or disciplines
26. Knowledge Construction
Process
describes how teachers help students to
understand, investigate, and determine how the
biases, frames of reference, and perspectives
within a discipline influence the ways in which
knowledge is constructed within it
27. Prejudice Reduction
describes lessons and activities used by teachers
to help students to develop positive attitudes
towards different racial, ethnic, and cultural
groups
28. Equity Pedagogy
exists when teachers modify their teaching in
ways that will facilitate the academic achievement
of students from diverse racial, cultural, and social
class groups
29. Empowering School Culture and
Social Structure
is created when the culture and organization of
the school and transformed in ways that enable
students from diverse racial, ethnic, and gender
groups to experience equality and equal status

sexual preference, occupation, and many
factors

society
32. • A subcultural group can develop around
number of social activities (family, work,
education, religion, geographic region, and so
forth).
• They must have opportunities for
communicating with one another, both directly

The Growth of Student
Subcultures
33. Subculture Sociologically
refers to a group of people whose behavior has
features that set apart from the wider (or dominant)
culture of the society in which it develops
they retain links to and features of the wider culture
The Growth of Student
Subcultures
34. Two Main Types of Sub-cultural Groups
Reactive
- members of subcultures do not necessarily reject the
dominant culture, but they embrace their own culture as
valid and important
Independent
- while actively participating in the dominant culture, they
often participate in a subculture containing shared norms
and values
The Growth of Student
Subcultures
35. Some groups of people share a particular way of life and
we term these smaller groups subculture.
Example:
being a part of “college student subculture”
You chose to join a particular subcultural group with its
own particular way of life. But it doesn’t mean that you
cannot be a part of other sub-cultural groups or indeed the
society as a whole.
The Growth of Student
Subcultures
36. Deviant Cultures
- subcultures that directly oppose dominant
norms and values
Countercultures
- subcultures that are oriented toward
challenging dominant culture or deliberately
trying to change it
The Growth of Student
Subcultures
37. Dominant Culture
- refers to the values, norms, and practices of the group
within society that is most powerful in terms of wealth,
prestige, status, and influence.
Subculture
- is a group within society that is differentiated by its
distinctive values, norms, and lifestyle.
The Growth of Student
Subcultures
38. 1. Permitting specialized activity
2. Identity in mass society
3. Cultural adaptation and change
Functions of Subcultures
39. Children of various cultures may think and act differently
and carry these differences into the classroom.
Helping children of various cultures to achieve as fully as
possible, while simultaneously adapting to each other,
demands innovative strategies on the part of the parents,
teachers, and administrators.
Cultural Dimensions of Learning,
Teaching and Educational Processes
41. Culturally responsive Instruction covers
areas related to:
Inclusive content in the curriculum that reflects
the diversity of society.
Students’ prior knowledge, including their
culture and language.
The idea that culture is central to student
learning because there is strong evidence that
cultural practices affect thinking process.
42. Culturally Responsive Teaching
encompass elements such as:
Active teaching methods that promote students
engagement
Teacher as facilitator
Positive perspectives on parents and families
of culturally and linguistically diverse students.
Culturally sensitive
43. Culturally Responsive Teaching
encompass elements such as:
Reshaping the curriculum so that it is culturally
responsive to the background of students.
Culturally mediated instruction that is
characterized by the use culturally mediated
cognition, culturally appropriate social
situations for learning, and culturally valued
knowledge in curriculum content.
Small group instruction and academically-
related discourse
45. It does this in three important ways:
1. By recognizing and accepting student diversity, it
communicates that all students are welcome and
valued as human beings.
2. by building on students’ cultural backgrounds,
culturally responsive teaching communicates
positive images about the students’ home cultures.
3. By being responsive to different student learning
styles, culturally responsive teaching builds on
students’ strengths and uses these to help students
learn.
