The differences among individuals, that distinguish or separate them from one another and make one as an unique individual in oneself, may be termed as individual differences.
Learning is most effective when differences in learner’s language, cultural, and social behaviour are taken into account.
A teacher should be sensitive to individual differences.
A teacher’s challenge is to acknowledge and celebrate the differences among children and work to maximize the growth in each child.

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 Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
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”.

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.

Key questions for teachers
3. There is hardly any country in the world today which is
not marked by cultural diversity.
India is among the most diverse societies with a plurality
and diversity of cultures which marks it out as perhaps
the largest multicultural society in the world.
People from all the major religions in the world—
Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and
Zoroastrians (Parsis) constitute its vast population.
The diversity is coupled with enormous cultural diversity
that is based on such factors like language, caste, region
and race.
4. CULTURE:
Set of values, beliefs, attitudes, languages, symbols,
rituals, behaviors, customs of a group of people.
Learned and shared- You are not born with culture.
Dynamic and changing
6. Culture is learned first in the family, then in
school, then in the community and other
social organizations such as the Temples,
church and masjid.
Purnell, 2005
7. The Iceberg of Culture
Clothes
Food
Music
Values
Attitudes
about Family
Beliefs about men &
women-gender roles
Attitudes about time Political beliefs
Proxemics
Attitudes toward “others”
Religious beliefs
Sexuality Beliefs
Attitudes toward
authority
Language
These are learned or
taught and can be
changed
Beliefs about Beauty
Art
What’s below the surface is absorbed or acquired from our
environment and is much harder to change
8. Diversity literally means 'difference' and in the educational
context diversity relates to the differences between Faculty and
other staff, between students, and between teachers and
students. The reasons for differences are numerous and may
include personality, culture, religion, gender,caste, language, age
and so on.
The 'diversity agenda' in education sets out to address issues that
lead to inequalities in practice. It has its roots in the legal
framework that underpins the provision of equal opportunities
and which acknowledges that our social identity impacts on life
experiences and opportunities.
Equality aims to create a fairer society, where all can participate
and have the opportunity to fulfill their potential. Part of this
involves identifying patterns of experience based on group
identity, and challenging processes which limit individuals'
potential life chances.
9. The diversity agenda also relates to a wider aspiration
to widen participation in education as a whole,
reflecting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
(1948).
The broad 'diversity agenda' includes consideration of
issues relating to gender, race/ethnicity, culture, age,
domestic circumstances, prior educational
achievement/attainment, sexuality and sensory,
psychological or physical disability/impairment.
10. Diversity is not the problem
The “problem” emerges because we live in a
world that encourages people to use
differences to………………………………………
include or exclude,
reward or punish,
credit or discredit,
elevate, or oppress,
value or devalue,
leave alone or harass…. Johnson, 2006
11. What is Cultural Diversity
The phrase 'Cultural Diversity' means a range of
different societies or people of different origins,
religions and traditions all living and interacting
together.
India has benefited from diversity throughout its
long history and is currently one of the most
culturally diverse countries in the world.
12. Areas of Cultural Diversity
Family organization
Language
Personal space
Economy
Region
Beliefs
Spirituality
Gestures
Gender
Religion
Touching
Eye contact
And Education
And so on……

14. People from the same Religion, caste, Region,
ethnic or racial group are also “diverse” in
terms of socio-economic status, education,
age, individual experiences.

25. Diversity is must
For institutions
To keep pace in today's complex and competitive global
arena, education must retire old notions of educational
exclusivity and embrace new models of inclusive excellence.
For students
By incorporating diverse content, perspectives, and
approaches into the curriculum, faculty strengthen
scholarship and prepare students for engagement with
today's complex world.

26. Diversity and Education
Diversity capitalizes on the unique experiences
and common wisdom of all cultures by providing
a fertile ground for contrast and comparison.
Provides a view of other peoples so distinct
from, yet similar to, ourselves that our own lives
and experiences are given new perspective and
meaning.
Diversity is an enriching and necessary
component of the total educational experience.
28. Diverse Students

43. Diverse learning experiences benefit students
Diversity has positive effects on students’
cognitive development, satisfaction with the
School/college experience, and leadership
abilities.
Students who interact with racially and ethnically
diverse peers show greater intellectual growth
and academic skills.
Both in-class and out-of-class interactions and
involvement with diverse peers foster critical
thinking
Benefits and Challenges of Diversity, Eve Fine, 2004
44. Special Needs Students = All Students!
Because all students have special needs, they must be
acknowledged and taught appropriately.
Remember the 8 areas for teaching styles, learning
styles, and multiple intelligences.
45. ACC Center for Teacher Certification
Guidelines for Working with Special Needs
Learners
Adapt and modify materials and procedures to address
the special needs of each student.
Break complex learning into simpler components,
moving from the most concrete to the abstract (Piaget’s
concrete to formal operations).
Be aware of everything that is going on in the classroom
at all times, monitoring students for signs of
restlessness, frustration, anxiety, or off-task behavior.
Be ready to refocus and reassign students.
46. ACC Center for Teacher Certification
Culturally Relevant Teaching
Teachers understand student diversity and know
how to plan and teach learning experiences and
design assessments that are responsive to
differences among students that promote all
students’ learning
Appreciate the uniqueness of each person and
mutual respect for all.
47. ACC Center for Teacher Certification
Gender Bias
"Sitting in the same classroom, reading the
same textbook, listening to the same teacher,
boys and girls receive very different
educations" (Sadker, 1994).
In fact, upon entering school, girls perform
equal to or better than boys on nearly every
measure of achievement, but by the time they
graduate high school or college, they have
fallen behind (Sadker, 1994).
48. Don’t ask students to get out of
their comfort zone….
Challenge and support them to stretch their
comfort zone.
50. A Culturally Inclusive Classroom
Students and staff alike recognize, appreciate
and capitalize on diversity so as to enrich the
overall learning experience.
Encourages all individuals – regardless of age,
gender, ethnicity, religious affiliation,
socioeconomic status, sexual orientation or
political beliefs – to develop personal contacts
and effective intercultural skills.

Designing Culturally Inclusive Learning and Teaching Environments
GIHE Good Practice Resource Book, Griffith University, Australia
52. Challenge and support students
People who expand or stretch their comfort
zones to include more people and experiences,
often report more complete, rewarding, and
successful lives—during college and beyond.
“From Diversity to Inclusivity, “ T. Brown, 2011
53. Engaging majority students
Provide majority students with avenues to
enhance their cross-cultural competencies
and encourage their active participation and
engagement with diverse populations.
54. Culturally competent teaching
The ability to successfully teach students who come
from different “cultures” entails:
• mastering personal and interpersonal awareness
and sensitivities,
• Learning specific bodies of cultural knowledge
• mastering a set of skills that underlie effective
cross-cultural teaching
Cultural Competence: A Primer for Educators Jerry Diller and Jean
Moule, 2005
55. A safe classroom climate
1. A safe classroom is one where discussion and
disagreement are acceptable; where established
rules of discourse are followed by everyone,
especially the instructor.
2. Students may need to be reminded of ground rules
from time to time
3. Once students have reached consensus on a
particular point, acknowledge this and agree to
move on, so they don't recycle arguments over old
ground.
University of North Carolina Center for Faculty Excellence
56. A safe classroom climate
4. It may be necessary to call “time outs” to allow
emotions to cool. Ask students to summarize the
discussion and write down their own thoughts, so
these can be shared to restart the discussion.
5. Reserve time to wrap up the discussion, wherein
students report what they learned and examine
conclusions drawn from the exchange.

64. KEY QUESTIONS FOR THE TEACHERS
“Can I help my students learn whatever their capabilities,
learning styles, cultural heritage, socio economic backgrounds,
and other differences are?”
“Am I familiar with the different backgrounds, experiences, and
capacities of my Students?”
“Do I considered the differences in backgrounds, experiences,
and capacities of my students in designing different learning
activities for them?”
“Can my students see that I recognize, accept, and respect the
differences in their backgrounds and capabilities?”
65. Do my students feel that I am trying to help them learn,
whatever their capabilities, learning styles, cultural heritage,
socio economic background and other differences are?”
“Do I create diverse types of learning activities that would help
all my students develop in all aspect of the curriculum?”
“Do I set clear challenging, but achievable learning goals for
all students in my class, regardless of their individual
differences?”
“Am I sensitive to how individual students respond differently
to the different learning activities in my class?”
66. Teachers need to be aware of the diversity issues that relate to
quality teaching practice, benefits for community, law, equal
opportunities, human rights, and education.
In order to address diversity principles and approaches, teachers
also need to know how to design, deliver and evaluate learning
opportunities to help meet the needs of a diverse student body.
One of the ways in which teachers can determine the learning
needs of diverse student groups is by thinking about how
different students learn. For example:
Different cultures have different perceptions/understandings of
the role of teachers and other students with expectations differing
accordingly.
Students who hold very strong views about race, politics, religion
or sexuality may find it difficult to cope with an objective, open
discussion or with students who hold opposing views.
67. “Education is a lifelong process, which we get through
learning either intentional or unintentional from
Experiences”
“Experience leads to Learning and learning in turn leads to
Education”
“Learning is process of acquiring concepts, skills and
values through experiences either consciously or sub-
consciously”.
