This document provides guidance on increasing school autonomy within Fulton County Schools as it transitions to a charter system. It outlines a path to innovative schools through three steps: 1) establishing why local school autonomy is important; 2) determining the parameters of autonomy using guiding principles about what decisions are made at the school versus district level; and 3) how schools can determine which flexibilities to pursue through strategic planning and requests for flexibility. The document is intended to clarify expectations and provide transparency as autonomy is increased at individual schools while maintaining district oversight of key areas like curriculum and legal/financial compliance.
Educator Autonomy Research Sources and Summaryppageegd
This document provides summaries of various sources related to educational autonomy. It summarizes 20 different documents that discuss topics like teacher-led schools, international education systems like Finland that have strong student performance, and different governance models. A recurring theme across many of the sources is that increased autonomy for teachers and schools tends to be associated with better student outcomes, especially when there are also meaningful accountability systems in place. Several sources also indicate that high-performing education systems emphasize professionalizing teaching and trusting teachers with significant decision-making authority.

Representatives from Massachusetts discussed their experiences implementing school autonomy strategies. Autonomy comes from districts and schools are not limited by centralized policies. Schools receive lump sum budgets and teachers collaborate on professional development. While results vary, autonomy generally empowers principals and teachers to better meet student needs. Developing leadership through residency programs is important for success. Maintaining trust between all stakeholders is crucial when granting or revoking autonomy.

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.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

The simplified electron and muon model, Oscillating Spacetime: The Foundation...RitikBhardwaj56
Discover the Simplified Electron and Muon Model: A New Wave-Based Approach to Understanding Particles delves into a groundbreaking theory that presents electrons and muons as rotating soliton waves within oscillating spacetime. Geared towards students, researchers, and science buffs, this book breaks down complex ideas into simple explanations. It covers topics such as electron waves, temporal dynamics, and the implications of this model on particle physics. With clear illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, readers will gain a new outlook on the universe's fundamental nature.
This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.
Thinking of getting a dog? Be aware that breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds can be loyal and dangerous. Proper training and socialization are crucial to preventing aggressive behaviors. Ensure safety by understanding their needs and always supervising interactions. Stay safe, and enjoy your furry friends!

Editor's Notes
Approximately 12 months ago, I was sitting in this very room….I remember being in awe of the talent and experiences of the prior National and RI Teachers of the Year. I also remember wondering how do I measure up. Am I the best? Certainly not the best k-12 science, history, art, social studies, english, mathematics, foreign language, applied arts teacher. Question I pose to you: Can you represent the best the profession has to offer regardless of the discipline, my answer to you is YES
Who do you think about when I say those words…..StudentsRe-frame that thought processIf it was one of your students who was hesitant about joining in a game of foursquare (the playground version not the online social networking chat), or club, try out for a team, or run for class office, what would you say….Don’t want to find your wondering….what if I had I tried…
Process was cathartic and reaffirming. Forced me to devote the time to revisit and encapsulate what the profession means to me and what issues are important.
Went to Wharton last week, learned about the CASE method…Copy and Steal Everything….show this again I will be certain give it the proper attribution.
One of our objectives this evening was to inspire you this evening…because <read the sign> do this every day.
