These are activities that I am working on implementing and becoming routines in my classroom. There are more here then I am currently using but they all have a time and a place they could be used. My ELD support person at my school gave me these activities as a resource.
This lesson plan is related to the power point presentation that i have uploaded before. So, it may help you in preparing a lesson of adjectives for grade two.
Behavior Management System (BMS) - Special EducationKate Mard
A comprehensive overview of behavior management solutions reviewed, created and presented during my Master's in Special Education course at Bay Path College in Longmeadow, MA.
One of the key aspects of this presentation was to illustrate how BMS systems can provide routines and parameters that allow for increased learning time, fewer disruptions and a in essence a “well oiled machine” in the classroom. This can be applied at any level of education in a variety of settings.

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.

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

6. Error Correction and Feedback in the EFL Writing Classroom by Rula Diab, in ET Forum , 2006 … if teachers and students both understand the purpose of certain correction techniques and agree on their use, feedback is more likely to be productive.
7. Error Correction Ideas by M. Simpson in ET Forum , 1996 Eavesdropping While students are working in groups or pairs, circulate and note mistakes heard. Then at the end of that class, write the sentences on the board to be corrected as a class discussion. Variation 1: Have the students correct the mistakes in small groups and compare their answers with other small groups. Variation 2: have each small group work on two or three sentences, and then present and explain their corrections to the class. Variation 3: Make a worksheet from the mistakes to be used in any of the above ways or given as homework.

In the city I am not afraid. The city is not dangerous. It is big and safe. I like safe city. Juan Many time ago family with me go up to ceja de la selva. I walk and walk and lost. I see snake near tree and I afraid. But man come and save. He hit ground with palo. Jungle maybe same but more more animal. I very afraid but maybe person help. My grandfather say we afraid, but animal always more afraid.
10. A Guest in Class S = students, T = teacher, G = guest S1: Where are you from? G: The United States. S2: Do you like the food? G: The food here? (silence) G: In Peru? Or in the U.S.? (silence) S3: What is your hobbies? G: I like to bi, er, ride bicycles and swim and read. S4: (Pointing at guest) My name is? G: My name is John. T: (Visibly upset) What is your name? What is your name? T: Now, we have been studying personal pronouns. Ask the guest questions with personal pronouns. (Silence)
11. Error vs. Mistake Mistake – “a performance error that is either a random guess or a ‘slip,’ in that it is a failure to utilize a known system correctly.” Error – “a noticeable deviation from the adult grammar of a native speaker, reflecting the interlanguage competence of the learner.” H.D. Brown (1994) Principles of Language Learning and Teaching
12. Julian Edge, in Mistakes and Correction (1989), talked about… Slip – what a learner can self-correct Error – what a learner can’t self-correct Attempt – a guess, or when neither the intended meaning nor the structure is clear to the teacher.
13. What would you tell these teachers? My students still do not know 3 rd person singular –s. Should I begin the past tense? Of course I tell my students right away what their mistakes are. I am paid as a teacher to do this. I would like to let my students spend more time correcting their errors. But I have to finish the unit.

Editor's Notes
Talk about the difference with the article (a). Mention that while you hope not to confuse participants, you do want to raise more questions. While most of us agree on the fact that some kind of error correction is needed, there are many questions about HOW, WHEN, WHAT and, to a certain extent WHO.
What is the difference between these jobs in terms of approaching errors? Miner? Knife thrower? Teacher? Student? (Language learning student needs to embrace errors.) Counter-intuitive in some ways. Much of education leans toward precision, accuracy, expertise. Maybe that’s why I like learning languages – I’m good at making mistakes.
Wrong: picking on one student, being unfair (random student), using physical punishment, pushing for uniformity Ask volunteer question: correct him/her. ASK: what does X feel right now? Wrong: emphasis on form over meaning (we will come back to this later).
Make sure teacher and students are on same page. Manage expectations.
Emphasize awareness by student.
1 st issue: raising student awareness. 2 nd issue: affective. 3 rd issue: when will they learn? Consider issue of TIMING. If we want to be effective, probably the second on the list (could be personal differences). But if we want to save time, probably the first in the list.
Let’s move from speaking to writing now by looking at two student samples. Which brings us to the issue of meaning vs. form. Give a grade between 1-10, with 10 being the highest. Who has Teresa scoring higher than Juan? Juan scoring higher than Teresa?
Let’s come back to speaking to focus a bit more on the difference between meaning and form. Do you see the break from meaning? What is the result? How do you think S4 feels?
Discuss the difference. What is “interlanguage competence?” Go back to dialogue and find a mistake and an error.
Go back to dialogue. Teacher kills “attempts” by over-focusing on grammar. This is worrisome.
