Teacher assessments are conducted to keep teachers alert and efficient. Various tools are used, including objective questions, observation sheets, and tables. This results in capacity building and enhanced teaching output. The assessment looks at teachers' qualifications, knowledge, and student achievement. It also considers personality, mental ability, subject knowledge, teaching performance, and other professional criteria. The goal is for teachers to improve their weaknesses through self-assessment, peer observations, microteaching simulations, and feedback from the principal. Overall, the multi-faceted assessment aims to improve teacher quality and support continued professional growth.
As a result of some learning experience, the learner should be able to do/perform certain tasks. A learning outcome is what a student should be able to do at the end of a program, course, or instructional unit informal education.
Teacher Assessment: A Formative Path to Teacher DevelopmentJosé Zapata
In Venezuela, teacher assessment has been always based on the amount of students who pass or fail subjects, but is that a serious teacher performance assessment? Teacher assessment can permit to rethink teacher training and teacher performance, that is, from an analytical perspective that can allow teachers to enhance and improve their skills, capacities and knowledge. In a few words, the objective of this research paper is to demonstrate the importance of evaluating TEFL quality in Venezuela from the pre-service teacher’s perspective to the in-service teacher’s perspective. Therefore, the results of a research done by the author of this paper will be shown in order to demonstrate how important is to evaluate college graduates in TEFL in order to see the strengths and weaknesses of teacher training. This research was done to 14 students of the university UPEL in Maracay, the TEFL Bachelor’s degree, and also to 14 students of the same career and university but in Maturin. This study is based on a field study, which is merely descriptive. Due to this characteristic, the results of the research permitted to analyze the root of the problem of teacher training in ELT at UPEL Maturin.

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.
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.
2. Teacher Assessment
• Why ?........mandatory for keeping the
teachers Alert & Efficient
• How?.......By assuring them that they are not
being tested
• Tools Used…… Objective Qs, Observation
sheets & tables
• Resultant…….Capacitating & Enhanced
Teaching output
3. Background……the approach/criterion
• Teacher’s Qualification, Knowledge &
student’s achievements are correlated
• Every qualified & Book master doesn’t always
prove to be efficient teacher
• A qualified & mentally balanced person with
right attitude moulds up into an Efficient
Teacher
4. Components & Rubrics/Measuring Tools
• Psychometric Analysis
• Education Department Rules & Regulations
Assessment
• Subject Knowledge based Assessment
• Professional Assessment
• Comprehensive Assessment by Principal
5. Strategy & the Basis of Questions for the
Assessment
• Psychometric analysis -1. Personality based
Qs
2. Mental ability based
• Education Department based Assessment
• Subject Knowledge Assessment based on
Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy 6 Level
achievement process.
• Professional Assessment-1.Self Assessment
Chart consisting of 10 Parameters
6. Strategy & the Basis of Questions for the
Assessment --Contd.
2.Self Evaluation- capacity building related
3.Peer Class Observation- every teacher gets
opportunity to be the Observer & being
observed by colleagues in the class.
• Micro Teaching- Short Simulation class
repeated till the teacher reaches at expected
level
• 10 Parameter Assessment by Principal- 10 M
allotted for each parameter.
7. Utility of these strategies & tools
• ->Multi approached Qs in Personality & Mental
ability arena helps in detecting various deviations
• -> Appropriate Departmental knowledge add to
the credentials of a teacher
• -> Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy helps a teacher &
observer to detect one’s Academic level
• -> 10 Parameter based self Assessment will make
the teacher to realise one’s areas to improve
8. Utility of these strategies & tools-contd.
• ->Peer Class observation helps a teacher to
understand the Do’s & Don’ts in the class.
• ->Micro Teaching helps a teacher to overcome
a shortcoming in the teaching process until it
is eliminated.
• ->10 points system in the Assessment Sheet by
Principal covers almost all expectation out of
an efficient teacher.
9. Let’s Sum up
• Let’s make sure that the teachers take the
assessment as Capacity Building Programs.
• Personality Analysis based activities are as
important as that of Academic based.
• Teachers have to understand the importance
of the Assessments
• Principals have a great role to play in Teacher
Assessment, they can change the scenario.
THANK YOU
