Census data can provide a unique picture of local communities, by providing information on indicators such as household income levels, the age and education-level of a population, the race and ethnic makeup of a community and how a population has changed over time. This type of information is particularly useful when trying to write a grant proposal to demonstrate the need for resources within a community, or when trying to assess the needs and issues of a community. This session will explain how to access census information and use it to create maps and graphics to visualize the information being written about in proposal submissions.
Healthy City Community Planning and Development webinarHealthy City
This customized webinar is for individuals working in Community Planning & Development that are interested in learning new strategies and tools to create healthier living environments in our communities. Working within a social justice framework, this webinar will demonstrate useful practices for planners utilizing the HealthyCity.org website. It will focus on how to use HealthyCity.org to promote a deeper understanding of community assets, characteristics, and the physical environment in order to inform and enhance the planning process. It will also highlight successful methods to engage community members in planning efforts, particularly around sharing local knowledge about the built environment. The webinar will also feature a guest presenter from Legal Services of Northern California to share their experience and successes using data and maps for advocacy and community building.
Abstract:
The Census is the only national public policy tool that collects data with a large enough sample size to report findings at small sub-municipal geographic scales. The loss of the long-form census may impede researchers and community based organizations from conducting neighbourhood analysis. Other surveys conducted by Statistics Canada do not have a large enough sample size to fill this gap. Canadians may be left with analyzes on a variety of public policy issues only at the city or metropolitan area scale. This would impede the ability for place based analysis and location specific action. Neighbourhood scale research using Census data will be discussed, The Cybercartographic Pilot Atlas of the Risk of Homelessness created at the Geomatics and Cartographic Research and other examples from community based research initiatives such as the Community Data Consortium will be presented. This will include maps and data about social issues in Canadian cities & metropolitan areas (e.g. Calgary, Toronto, Halton, Sault Ste. Marie, Hamilton, Ottawa, Montreal, & others) to demonstrate the importance of local analysis. The impact of the loss for evidence based decision making for communities in Canada’s will be the key element of the discussion.

Demographic Assessment Project Overview
This assignment utilizes data mining, a tool of nursing informatics, to locate critical information about your community. The US Census, performed by law stated in The US Constitution, is collected every ten years. The results of the census are found here. The information gleaned here is immensely valuable in assessing and planning interventions for a community. This is a routine practice for public health nurses and community nurses.
It is important to understand that the date from the US Census is self- reported. It may or may not be accurate. You may notice that the percentages do not always add up to 100 percent (or they add up to more than 100 percent). Sometimes people fill the census forms out a little differently than instructed, which gives interesting results! Report the numbers as they are stated in the Census documents and relax.
The assignment is another piece of an actual community assessment. The assignment will teach you how to discover facts about the population you serve whatever practice specialty you choose. When the public health nurse completes the community assessment, the nurse engages with many partners at th.

How to Use HealthyCity.org for Service Referral & Planning Healthy City
These slides highlight the tools on HealthyCity.org that facilitate both service referral and service planning. The website helps you connect vulnerable populations to the resources they need by providing the largest searchable and mappable online hub of health and human services in California. In addition to this comprehensive resource data, service providers and planners can access additional community data to identify gaps in services, as well as identify areas of need and opportunity to inform program planning. In this training you will learn how to:
- Facilitate case management: Help clients find services by searching the detailed health and human service database of 2-1-1s across the state (*available in 16 counties and counting).
- Inform service planning: Research information about your clients’ communities to enhance program focus and planning.
- Improve service planning and provision by adding your own data: Map data that you collect in order to see the distribution of your clients, members, facilities, or other organizations.
Hazard mitigation has increasingly become the responsibility of local decision makers who work with technical assistance providers to apply for federal funding. Understanding the disaster cycle: preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation; helps communities reduce risk from disaster. During this panel, the
importance of understanding the need to adopt both structural and non‐structural mitigation strategies will be covered.

In this economic climate, there is a necessity to work collaboratively to create strong, sustainable and inclusive communities. Detailed comprehensive plans and federal funding grants need some of the same elements to thrive. If a community identifies its needs as part of the planning process, it can, as part of a continuous proposal building process, pinpoint which grants will help meet those needs.

Social Entrepreneurship: Mobilizing, Innovating, and Collaborating for Social...Illinois ResourceNet
Betsy Goulet, Adjunct Faculty and Doctoral Student, University of Illinois, Springfield, will discuss the importance of collabora-tion amid the new reality of shrinking budgets where agencies, nonprofits and social service programs are being forced to do more with less. She will share information about the role of social entrepreneurship as an innovative strategy for social change in the development of partnerships among nonprofits, government, universities and corporations.
Anne H. Silvis, University of Illinois Extension Specialist in Leadership Development and Director of the Laboratory for Community and Economic Development, will describe practices that build collaboration at the community level and how
collaborative efforts foster improved outcomes for individuals,
organizations and communities. This plenary session will offer
participants a chance to explore concepts and strategies with
one another in small groups.
Pre‐planning and preparation help increase the competitiveness of an organization’s application.
Illinois ResourceNet TA providers work with organizations to prepare for future funding opportunities
by creating a two‐year timeline of expected release dates of Federal grant programs relevant to the
organization or collaborations working with IRN. Illinois ResourceNet develops a plan‐of‐action for
groups to identify grants that match the needs of the organization. TA providers will also locate future
funding for existing programs and potential new programs, and examine the resources offered by
Federal Agencies. In addition, the IRN TA provider will review proposals to ensure that the
organization meets the eligibility requirements, and has the necessary management and programmatic
capacity.
Writing a federal proposal is a multi-step process with every tier requiring an equal level of intense consideration. The federal budget piece is probably the most detailed and specific item on the federal proposal to-do list. Illinois ResourceNet’s face-to-face workshop will tackle the topic of federal budgets and help attendees sort through this daunting section of the federal proposal. In addition, this session describes the principles used in developing a budget narrative.
Illinois ResourceNet’s instructor will explain the importance of managing your organization’s finances to improve your success in applying for a federal grant.
Attendees will walk away knowing how to plan and monitor financial activity, while establishing a solid line of communication between program staff and budgeting staff. This course helps to prepare organizations to manage the detailed federal budget section of their proposals.
Presenters: Deborah Minor‐Harvey & James Pfluecke, IRN Technical Assistance Providers
This workshop will identify best practices in federal grant proposal project management including developing a work plan and your work team. Participants will learn about the organizational capacity needed to successfully complete a federal grant proposal, how to assess and document your community's needs, and how to develop a time line for the successful completion of all aspects of the proposal.
Illinois ResourceNet’s offers a workshop to help introduce nonprofit organizations to the principles of collaboration, the nature and type of collaborative and what it takes to work together in a sustainable manner. In particular, collaboratives play a vital role in Illinois ResourceNet’s commitment to building capacity in the nonprofit sector in Illinois to facilitate stronger federal grant development and submissions.
Lauri Alpern, an Illinois ResourceNet technical assistance provider will lead the workshop and will guide participants through the process of partnership development and completion of tasks in a group setting.
Detailed comprehensive plans and federal funding grants need some of the same elements to thrive. If a community identifies its needs as part of the planning process, it can, as part of a continuous proposal building process, pinpoint which grants will help meet those needs. Federal grants are available for communities with an integrated vision for connecting economic development, community development, and environmental protection to create greater livability.

Participants will learn about the organizational capacity needed to successfully complete a federal grant proposal, how to assess and document your community's needs, and how to develop a time line for the successful completion of all aspects of the proposal.
Proposal success is cumulative, especially when carried out in collaborative networks where data can be shared, partnerships can be forged, learning can take place, different program areas can be linked, and diverse resources can be leveraged. This session gives practical hands-on training on how to engage in a continuous proposal building process including utilizing the catalogue of federal assistance, grants.gov and planning documents to anticipate and prepare for potential opportunities.
“Planning for Future Funding: How to create a community comprehensive plan with federal funding in mind”
Thinking about federal grants when developing a comprehensive plan for your community can help you get a head start on successfully applying, submitting and receiving federal funding.
Detailed comprehensive plans and federal funding grants need some of the same elements to thrive. Writing about the vision for investing in a community’s empty brownfields, affordable housing and economic development needs, and health issues can serve as a platform in applying for federal grants. These aspirations, when effectively written and documented, can be used as the basis for grant applications. If a community identifies its needs as part of the planning process, it can, as part of a continuous proposal building process, pinpoint which grants will help meet those needs.
Federal grants are available for communities with an integrated vision for connecting economic development, community development, and environmental protection to create greater livability.
Illinois ResourceNet (IRN) and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMPA) are working together on a series of free webinars to help communities strengthen their capacity to apply successfully for available federal funding opportunities.
In this webinar, “Planning for Funding: How to create a comprehensive plan with federal funding in mind,” Deborah Orr, EPA Region 5 Brownfields Coordinator, will moderate the session and explain why comprehensive community planning should be an integral part of the federal funding process.
Michael McAfee, Community Planning and Development Representative with HUD's Chicago office, will demonstrate how to use a comprehensive plan and the sustainable practices built into it to facilitate the continuous development of federal funding proposals.
Susan Kaplan, technical assistance provider for Illinois ResourceNet at the University of Illinois, will offer examples of how a community plan can be used to help identify relevant federal grant opportunities and develop persuasive grant applications.
Free Webinar held on Tuesday, August 3, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
During this event, participants experienced how IRN supports the work of organizations in federal grant writing, explored the resources of the IRN website, and secured answers on being successful in the federal grant process from IRN Technical Assistance Providers. Members of organizations participated in a choice learning sessions around collaboration, the federal grants process, and learned how to secure funding by working collaboratively with local governments.
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

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.

Transit-oriented development encourages compact and contiguous development surrounding transit stations to allow accessibility via alternative modes of transportation, reducing traffic congestion and energy consumption. The TOD scenario assesses the land use change implications of both the completion of several new transit stations in McHenry County and encouraging infill and re-development within a 1/2 mile radius around existing and new stations. While many who utilize the rail system for commuting may drive to their station of choice, the radius was determined by an average 15 minute walk.
Infill Areas with Change results
Invovles preserving agricultural land by implementing a 40-acre Minimum Zoning policy within agricultural protection areas rather than zone them as no-growth. In an area conforming to 40-acre Minimum Zoning new parcels of land bought or sold must have an area equal to 40 acres or larger. The Agricultural Preservation Districts are divided into a grid with each cell having an area of 40 acres. The simulation is run, once any cell within a 40-acre cell is developed, that cell is closed to further development. This ensures that a cell that develops within the Preservation District in question will have at least 40 acres of area around it free of other new development.
The IDNR GI scenario utilizes maps based on the Chicago Wilderness Green Infrastructure Vision as a reduced probability layer, and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’/Natural History Survey’s “Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plan” as no growth.
