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.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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. Differentiated Instruction
Differentiation means tailoring instruction to meet
individual needs. Whether teachers differentiate content,
process, products, or the learning environment, the use of
ongoing assessment and flexible grouping makes this a
successful approach to instruction, (Tomlinson, 2014).
3. Four Trends in Differentiating
instruction for science
Flexibility grouping
Students in the science classroom benefit from
interacting with each other and working toward a
common goal. An example of a goal in science is the
completion of a laboratory exercise. The teacher may
present a concept to the class, then put the students
into pairs or small groups. Changing up the groups
should happen often based on student interests,
student learning style, or whatever factors that may
come into play (Willoughby, 2014).
4. Four Trends in Differentiating
instruction for science
Role play
Students with a variety of interests, learning
styles, and abilities can benefit greatly from
activities that are based on authentic situations.
The teacher can create lesson plans around
debates, computer simulations, or science topics
currently in the news (Willoughby, 2014).
5. Four Trends in Differentiating
instruction for science
Learning Stations
The teacher can create spaces around the classroom
for small-group or independent investigation of a
scientific experiment or process. The essential
materials and resources should be available at each
space in the classroom. There should be a topic at
each space that correlates with the focus of the study.
The activities at each space should encourage thinking
skills and help students to solve problems
(Willoughby, 2014).
6. Four Trends in Differentiating
instruction for science
Orbital studies
Orbital studies is when the teacher develops a list of
topics that is related to a science concept. The teacher
allows the students to select a top that is of interest to
them. Each student performs their own investigation
with help from the teacher. This type of activity
provides flexibility, level of difficulty, and the makeup
of the product completed by the student
(Willoughby, 2014).
7. Four Trends in Differentiating
instruction for math
Student Grouping
- Students are placed in groups according to proficiency.
- Allows teachers to challenge high-achievers, while
providing remediation, repetition, and review for low
achievers, (Davis, 2009).
- Provides specific instruction to a few students who are
seen as very high achieving, and sometimes to provide
more individualized assistance to students who are seen to
be achieving significantly below their peers, (Davis, 2009).
8. Four Trends in Differentiating
instruction for math
Learning Centers
- Classroom learning centers are important part of independent
exploration and learning, (Springer, 2011).
- Math learning centers provide an opportunity to practice and
apply skills and strategies taught within the classroom, (K-5
Math Teaching Resources, 2010).
- Math learning centers should include: a variety of activities
differentiated to meet the needs of students, hold students
accountable for the work in which they are engaged, and allows
teachers to assess students math skills, strategies, and
understanding, (K-5 Math Teaching Resources, 2010).
9. Four Trends in Differentiating
instruction for math
Use of manipulatives
- Manipulatives help students make the leap from intuitive
to logical thinking, from concrete to the abstract, (
Learning Resources.com)
- Manipulatives are helpful for problem solving skills.
10. Four Trends in Differentiating
instruction for math
Increased use of technology
- Apply technology to develop students higher-order-
thinking skills and creativity, (Jahan, 2014).
- Use technology resources to collect and analyze
data, interpret results, and communicate findings
to improve instructional practices and maximize
student learning, (Jahan, 2014).
11. Instructional Issues With Trends
for Science
Role Play
Requires careful, thoughtful planning which is time consuming.
Students must be highly interested and motivated in their topic; otherwise they will not be
actively involved.
Expectations for students must be clear and students must be held accountable for their
research, preparation, and collaboration with peers; otherwise they will not understand the
purpose of the activity.
Learning Stations
Students might skip stations if they already know the material or if the materials is too difficult.
Some stations might have task designed for advanced students only.
Orbital Studies
May be too difficult or complex for some students. Teachers must provide varying levels of
difficulty for these activities.
Flexible Grouping
Students may not like working with the students they are grouped with.
If students are grouped based on ability, the students with lower abilities will not benefit from
their grouping.
12. Instructional Issues With Trends
For Mathematics
Student Grouping
Group work consumes more time because students must coordinate time,
meet, correspond, make decisions, and integrate the contributions of each
team member.
Some students lose motivation during group work because of free riding, social
loafing, and conflict with other group members.
Allocating time for group work, assessing teamwork skills and group dynamics,
and assigning group grades can be difficult for teachers.
Learning Centers
Learning Centers require a great deal of planning because teachers must be
able to articulate key skills being learned at each center and to evaluate the
success of that learning center in promoting key skill development.
Learning Centers may be too difficult or too easy for some students.
13. Instructional Issues With Trends
For Mathematics
Use of Manipulatives
Some teachers do not know when and how to use the manipulatives.
Therefore, their students fail to achieve success with them.
Students can be easily distracted with manipulatives if rules and procedures
are not put in place when using them.
Increased use of Technology
New software, training for teachers, and equipment can be very costly for
schools.
Teachers need to receive training with the technology so they understand the
benefits to learning and to themselves.
Adding technology into existing lesson plans takes additional planning time.
Some software requires a significant amount of classroom time to be utilized.
14. Whether the trend can be used for
math, science, or both
Trend: Flexibility Grouping of students
- This trend can be used successfully in any subject. In both math and science,
students can work collaboratively in groups to reach common goals. Depending on
the activity, teachers can use flexibility grouping in a variety of ways. Students can
be grouped by ability or differentiate groups.
Trend: Learning Stations (centers)
-This trend can be used in both math and science. In math, learning stations can
provide a way for teachers to differentiate instruction. In science, learning stations
can provide a way for students to learn material in a variety of ways. For example,
if students are learning about weather. Stations could be set up for students to
learn about different areas of weather.
15. Whether the trend can be used for
math, science, or both
Trend: Role play
- Role play can be used in science and math. It is commonly used in
other subjects, but rarely used in math. Role playing can be used in
science when students debate issues. It can be used in math by
students solving real world problems that involve math. It can be
difficult for some students to be motivated by this trend.
Trend: Orbital Studies
- Orbital studies can be used in both subjects, however, it is easier in
science. It is easier for students to learn and research different areas in
science. Math is a harder subject to include orbital studies. Students
could chose a math mathematician to research and present to the
class.
16. Whether the trend can be used for
math, science, or both
Trend: use of manipulatives
- This trend is commonly used in both math and science. Students in math use manipulatives
to help them learn math concepts. Students use base ten blocks to help them add or see
relationships between numbers. While in science, students use science manipulatives to
explore and construct their own ideas through trial and error in experiments.
Trend: Technology
- The trend of technology is commonly used in math and science. Teachers use technology to
help students practice math facts and to explore new concepts in science. Many
teachers incorporate the use of smart boards, Ipads, and other forms of technology into
their daily lessons.
