This document discusses strategies to promote writing development for English language learners (ELLs) in 4th grade. It recommends using graphic organizers, modeling exemplary writing, using rubrics, and portfolio assessment. Graphic organizers can help ELLs brainstorm ideas and understand vocabulary. Modeling involves demonstrating the writing process. Rubrics clarify expectations. Portfolios allow students and teachers to track progress over time. Essential questions encourage higher-order thinking. The strategies connect to state, national, and technology standards.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Student Population
4th Grade
23 students
Majority of students speak English and 4
students are English/Spanish speaking
students.
ELL students work with a Spanish
speaking aid in the classroom for small
group instruction for about 45 min. a day.
3. Strategies Supporting Writing
Development
#1 Implementing Graphic Organizers
Graphic organizers can be used to
brainstorm ideas, convey meaning, study
vocabulary, etc.
Graphic organizers can be used whole
class, teacher demonstration, small group
or individually.
4. Graphic Organizers (cont.)
ELL students can benefit from graphic
organizers because they are using text to
complete them and it gives them a
reference to use when developing larger
written works.
A resource that can be used to find
student friendly graphic organizers is

#2 Modeling
An effective teacher will continuously model
exemplary writing.
As stated in the article
Teaching Diverse Learners: Writing “By inviting
students to observe and participate in the
teacher's own writing process, ELLs can better
understand ways to approach the task of
writing.”
7. Modeling (cont.)
As stated in the article
Teaching Diverse Learners: Writing, “ When
writing interactively, teachers verbalize their
thinking as they write (e.g, "I'm going to put a
comma here after bananas because I want to list
three fruits: bananas comma apples comma and
grapes period. The comma tells the reader to
pause in between, and the period says that's the
end of the sentence."). Writing is interactive
when teachers invite student participation (e.g.,
"What would be a good title for this journal
entry? What was my topic?").”
8. Strategies Cont.
#3 Rubrics
Rubrics are an effective way to encourage
text from ELL students. It allows the
student to know exactly what is expected
of them when writing.

#4 Portfolio Assessment
Using a portfolio as a student’s ongoing
assessment allows both the teacher and
the student to track progress that is being
made in writing.
11. What is a portfolio?
A portfolio is an informal assessment
because the teacher is evaluating a
students work over a period of time using
different pieces of data that have been
gathered.
A portfolio can also allow the student to
go back to revise and edit their previous
works.
12. Assessing Students
Informal assessments (also called authentic or
alternative) allow teachers to track the ongoing progress
of their students regularly and often. While standardized
tests measure students at a particular point in the year,
ongoing assessments provide continual snapshots of
where students are throughout the school year. By using
informal assessments, teachers can target students'
specific problem areas, adapt instruction, and intervene
earlier rather than later. (Colorin’ Colorado 2007) Article

13. Essential Questions
Essential questions are a great way to
encourage higher order thinking from your
ELL students.
Essential questions also allow for creative
answers that students can continue to add
to.
14. Examples of Essential Questions
1. What do you think makes a persons
writing interesting? Why?
2. Why do you think it is important to be
able to write using the English language?
These questions encourage students to
think and explain.
15. Creating Your Own Essential
Questions
