This document outlines a presentation on forging better school-parent partnerships using an emotional intelligence approach. The agenda includes a survey on parental involvement, discussing child development and emotional intelligence, setting clear expectations, and strategies at the institute, leader, teacher, and individual levels. The presentation advocates using an emotional intelligence framework of self-awareness, awareness of others, self-management, and better relationships to strengthen school-parent ties. Specific strategies proposed are developing school policies on parent engagement, appointing parent points of contact, training for teachers and parents, and creating individualized engagement plans.
Developmentally Appropriate Practices to Support the Young Adolescent
How do you foster academic growth for students in the middle? Developmentally appropriate practices are critical at all levels for student learning and engagement. Refocusing on the middle school model aligns instructional practices with the unique developmental needs of students ages 11 through 15. Teaming, Advisory, and Content Integration enable teachers to leverage the talents of adolescents. This collaboration strengthens teacher leadership, builds student-teacher relationships, and fosters critical conversations around teaching and learning.

How institutions make decisions to accept or reject technology innovation has been explored by academics with the assistance of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Scenarios involving successful delivery of online learning from degree granting universities guide this literature review. It examines decision processes influenced by TAM methods combined with dominant research perspectives such as Self-efficacy Theory and Universal Technology Adoption and Use Theory. This paper analyzes which variables determine perceptions of usefulness, attitude and preferences and become frequent factors to influence typical TAM results. It identifies patterns about reliable predictors of outcomes (behaviors, aligning IT and preferences) for educational investments in learning environments, content delivery and teacher preferences. Adoption of technology is a complex, inherently social process guided by perceptions or misperception of value and ease of use. Thus, facilitating a decision to adopt devices, software or processes must address emotional, cognitive, and contextual concerns of all stakeholders.

An online flea market in higher education using c2 c e commerce model a requi...Struggler Ever
In higher education district, college students are special consumers. Second hand goods are their main needs while they are in college. Thereby public e-commerce websites may not fulfill their requirements. Trustworthiness and security, between e-commerce websites’ users, are also other issues that students, as buyers or sellers, are concerned about that public e-commerce users are still paying off its repercussions. Thus, it is essential to have an online flea market in higher education that specifically tailored to the students’ needs and demand. This study proposes a comprehensive requirements model that can be referred as guidelines to developing an online flea market for a higher education district. The methodology for constructing the requirements model involves four main phases, which are theoretical study, requirements elicitation, requirements’ analysis and requirement validation. The requirements model consists of several Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, content, hypertext and presentation modeling; as well as list of requirements and use case description. The results form the requirements validation and it is very promising. Moreover, it demonstrated a significant efficiency of the requirements model towards a higher education district. After all, this work contributes to the requirements engineering domain specifically and to the body of software engineering generally.

When picking an elementary school for their child many parents opt for the school that is closest to their home. However many parents prefer to explore all of their educational options before deciding on just one school. Between public, private, Montessori, charter, magnet and parochial schools the choices may seem dizzying. The following is a short overview on what every parent should look for in an elementary school regardless of how it is governed.

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.

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.

these issues
• Trainable & modifiable
• Abundant research evidence showing benefits of SEL
12. Understanding SEL
The 5 Core Competencies
Source: 2013 CASEL Guide – Effective Social & Emotional Learning Programs
13. Now that we know the ‘problem’ , & we understand SEL …
…Let’s take a relook through an EI lens
Self Awareness (Self = school)
• What (all) do we do to engage parents?
• What works?
• What doesn’t?
• How do parents perceive us ?
• What do parents say about us?
13
14. Empathy & Awareness of others (Others = parents)
For a moment, step into parents’ shoes
• What is life like for a parent today?
• What type of challenges do parents face today?
• How does school ‘occur’ to parents?
( a building/ principal/ teacher/ rules/ PTA/ rigid/judgemental )
• Trying to understand parents’ competence in parenting skills
14
15. After Self awareness and Awareness of others
• Shared goal - What is the one thing that is equally important to both
parents and the school?
• Parent behavior is a function of
the parent’s personal circumstances
how ‘school’ occurs to them
Parent awareness and parenting skill or competence
Amount of time parents spend with children – quantity vs quality
• Every parent experiences a unique attachment to school
• Schools are powerful
15
16. So what can be done to strengthen the school parent relationship ?
We need INITIATIVE,
STRATEGIES
& MONITORING & EVALUATION
16
18. Setting Clear Expectations
• What do parents need to do to help the school ?
( e.g. attend PTA meetings, provide a nurturing, caring, violence free home
environment)
