This document outlines a proposed UDL classroom structure and curriculum. The classroom would have multiple levels accessible by ramps and elevators. Courses would be grouped by subject and ability level with a maximum of 10 students per class. Students would use tablets to receive personalized instruction tailored to their learning needs, styles, and goals. Teachers would monitor student progress through the tablet software. Assessment would also be personalized through the tablets rather than standardized tests. The goal is to facilitate learning for all students through flexible, accessible instruction.

Gather the Corduroy books that I plan to use for the lesson (A Pocket for Corduroy by Don Freeman) along with a stuffed bear to use when students are ready to begin writing and piecing their own adventure stories together. This particular lesson will focus on the book, A Pocket for Corduroy. The students will attentively listen to the story and will be asked to create their own stories electronically. Corduroy will allow the students to gain a personal connection by having close interactions with a stuffed bear and develop their own adventures with Corduroy. I will also provide envelopes for children to use as pockets. Tell them to draw a picture of something to place in their pocket. On the outside of the envelope, children write clues about what is inside. The rest of the class reads the clues and tries to guess what the pocket contains.
UDL Technology Integration (describe one UDL component and explain how it will be integrated into the lesson):
In this particular lesson there is a flexibility and openness that is available to allow the students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills of the content. There are not any strict guidelines for how the student presents their electronic adventure, based on the Corduroy story.
The assignment is organized in multiple points for choice of presentation:
· Free choice of resource materials,
· Free choice of access (text, digital, audio),
· Free choice of response style.

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.
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Structure
My school would be catered toward both middle school and high school students.
• Will include ramps to enter the building from the parking lot.
• There would be stairs to have more floors of classes.
Multiple elevators will be equipped in the school for equal access to all students.
• Elective courses will be downstairs on the right side of the building with the P.E gym as well.
• English, science, and history courses will be found upstairs with the library and computer labs.
The left side downstairs will be the math and science courses with a cafeteria in the middle.
• Special Education courses will also have their own wing downstairs with open easy access to the rest of the school as
they may also have general education courses.
3. Classes
Students will be grouped in courses by ability level
with a maximum of 10 students per classroom.
• This way students who are in upper level courses
can continue to excel and have teachers that
facilitate knowledge growth and work well with
their learning types.
Those whose learning ability is average will have their
own courses catered to their learning style and those
who struggle with learning will also have their own
courses and teachers to better assist and focus on each
student in their class.
• Those in special education classes will also be in
some general education courses, if eligible, and each
student will have a chance to succeed with a teacher
trained to help facilitate learning with all types of
students.
4. Personnel
Staff will consist of teachers
able to teach all learning
types for upper level, average,
and lower level ability
students and teachers
specially trained for the
special education students.
Special education classrooms
will also have two
educational aids to further
assist with the students
throughout the day.
There will be a principal, at
least an assistant principal
and counselor for each ability
level, a front desk secretary,
two librarians (one as an
assistant), janitorial staff, and
cafeteria staff.
Elective courses will have
teachers certified in areas
specific for that elective. For
example, an art teacher who
has a degree in art, a robotics
teacher who has experience
in engineering and
technology, etc.
5. Instruction
The most recent technological advances in media will be provided to
the students in the classroom to facilitate more learning.
Teachers will have access to the student’s file on their own tablet and teach the
curriculum based on how all students in the class can learn collectively.
Students will learn some topics in a group and other topics will be presented on
a tablet in front of them that is personalized to their ability level and caters to
their learning style. The teacher will monitor their progress according to their
goals.
All networks of the brain will be involved with their learning assignments:
recognition, strategic, and affective based on the subject they are learning and
the student’s strengths and weaknesses. The student’s processing type will also
be considered, and different techniques will be automatically generated until it
matches with the students highest preferred or most successful way of
processing information being presented to them.
Assignments will be completed on the tablet and directly turned into
teachers through their learning software and projects will be
completed with a free choice of how they wish to present it, if all
criteria for the project are met.
6. General Curriculum
The curriculum for each student will be
personalized. Every student will have their own
curriculum that the teachers will have access to.
Every student will have clear, personalized goals and the curriculum will
be written based on their current abilities and abilities they will need to
learn during the school year based on general curriculum goals for all
students.
Their tablet will personalize their learning
activities with a good balance of the student’s
strengths and weaknesses according to their
personal curriculum goals.
This keeps the curriculum and teaching flexible and
current.
Each student will also have recognition,
strategic, and affective related goals
based on their ability.
Special education students will have a more focused personalized plan
with academic and behavior goals with data to be rewritten every 6
months to track their progress closely and ensure they are close to their
general curriculum goals as well.
7. Technology
Classrooms will be equipped with tablets for each student, a tablet for
each teacher to monitor students, and a tablet for educational aids to
monitor data and student progress as well.
• The classroom will also have a smart board for group learning activities and
interactive group assignments.
• Teachers will also have a computer in each classroom.
The tablet software will enable learning experiences to have adequate
visual, audio, interactive, and mental stimulation according to the
student’s learning abilities and preferences.
• Students will be able to practice skills many times with accurate feedback before final
assignments will be due.
• Computer labs will also be available to every student.
8. Assessment
Students will be assessed on their abilities throughout the school year
automatically in the software on their tablet.
The software and the teacher’s observations of the student in group activities will assesses
the student's barriers and strengths and weaknesses in different areas of learning.
This way there are no standardized tests that present the information the same way for
each student. Tests will be presented to cater to how the student best comprehends
information.
Each student’s learning software caters to the student and presents information in
different unique ways based on how they personally and effectively learn information.
