Ultimately, she hopes to teach dental hygiene at the college level and earn a Master's Degree. She has chosen dental hygiene because it will provide a salary and flexibility as a single mother, and she enjoys the dental office environment from her experience with friends in the field.

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.

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.

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.

1. EDUCATIONAL GOALS:
CONSIDER THE QUESTION
RTSQ: Read the Stupid Question!
This seems obvious, but many people gloss over the question. You want
to analyze the question, answer all parts of the question, and don’t
answer a question that is not asked.
The Question:
Describe your educational goals. Explain your choice of career and what
qualifications, skills, and talents you feel you have for your chosen field. Include
your plans for financing your education. (If necessary, you may add one
additional page for your educational goals.)
1. Describe your educational goals.
2. Explain your choice of career and what qualifications you feel you have for
your chosen field.
3. Include your plans for financing your education.
2. PURPOSE
THE QUESTION
To give a sense of you as a person.
To show that you understand the field you want to enter.
To show that you can think reflectively and sympathetically.
To show that the degree will build on previous experiences, and not be
a discontinuous experience.
Questions to Ask Yourself before Writing:
What is unique about my background?
When did I become interested in this field? What specific experiences
(including work experiences) have furthered this interest?
What are my career goals?
What personal characteristics, skills, etc. will enhance my prospects for
success in this field?
3. DOs and DON’Ts
DO
Organize your response. Look at the question; it has a natural
organizational pattern – a blueprint.
DO
Ask your friends and family to help you remember all the details
from which you can select when you write your essay. It is easy
to forget things you have done in the past.
DO
Fit your essay into the big picture of your application. If you say
you have always wanted to be a veterinarian, but have no
evidence to show that you have ever been exposed to that
career, your words will be suspect.
DO
Show what you are like as a person, but be as selective as
possible. This is not a biography, but a demonstration of the
characteristics that prompted your career choice.
DO
Find a controlling idea for your essay. Smooth prose leaves a
4. DO
Find a controlling idea for your essay. Smooth prose leaves a
good impression. A series of short, curt sentences does not.
DO
Be positive and upbeat in tone.
DO
Show that you know something more about the field you have
chosen than what you have seen on TV or in movies.
DO
Take your drafts to the College Writing Center or ask a
guidance counselor for help. Does the essay flow? Is the main
point clear? Do you sound like a real person (preferably an
interesting real person)? Do you have enough detail? Too much
detail?
DO
Revise the essay and proofread.
DO
Show your final draft to friends. Ask them, “Does this sound like
me?”
5. DON’T
Just tell a story. You want to explain your career goals in
an interesting way, not entertain with descriptive
adjectives.
DON’T
Assume names of people and places give enough
information. Describe your activities and experiences as
they relate to your career goals.
DON’T
Write what you think the scholarship committee wants to
hear. The committee members can detect b.s. before
opening the packet.
DON’T
Use clichés or generalities. This wastes valuable space
and time.
DON’T
Brag. Trust that your good points will shine through.
7. EXAMPLE #1
(1) Don’t admit this! If you
don’t have educational
goals, how can you answer
the question? Stop now
and make a solid plan.
I don’t have specific educational
goals. (1.)Yes, I want to get a
degree in my field but that is not
the only thing I want to do. My
educational goal is to learn as
much as I can from whoever will
(2) We are four sentences

into the essay, and the
reader has no clue about a many things that I don’t even
know where to begin. (2.)
subject interest. At all
costs, avoid vague words
like “things” and someone.”
If you don’t know where to
begin, should you be
funded while you search
for a goal?
8. EXAMPLE #1 - continued
(3) Now we are getting
somewhere. This would be a
good place to give examples
of problem solving skills and
determination. Relate this
statement to something in
past, like a class or
community project.
I am truly passionate about one thing
though and that is math. I enjoy math
and how it works into our physical world.
I think I would succeed in this field that I
have chosen, which is engineering,
because when it comes to problem
solving I don’t easily give up until I come
to a solution. (3.) Financing my
education is probably my biggest

consideration, worded this

determination.
I don’t want to be a bother to either of
them. I would work my way through

goals. There is very little concrete information in this essay. The vague language does
not indicate focus, and the wording does not demonstrate determination. There are no
examples to support a love of math or problem solving. The last sentence ends the
essay with the same ambiguity of the first: “if I have to.”
9. EXAMPLE #2
(1)The student has indicated
two possible majors, but
shows no preference for
either.
(2) There is no detail here.
“Some research” tells the
reader nothing. The student
should indicate the type of
research he/she is interested
in.
My goal is to attend Clark and
study biology or chemistry. (1.)
One day I want to do some
research. (2.) After Clark I will
transfer to a four-year school and
get a degree. (3.)
(3) The student has no fouryear school in mind, nor does
he/she indicate the type of
Commentary: This
degree to be earned. essay provides no details. The reader has no
insight into the individual or his/her dedication to an education.
10. EXAMPLE #3
(1) This is a very short statement of a
plan. Plans are not necessarily goals.
Goals should be long-term (but not so
long-term as to be unrealistic). The plan,
as stated here, does not constitute a goal.
A career in education will require more
than an Associates Degree. The student
should give long-term, obtainable goals.
He/she should, for example, indicate that
he/she has investigated four-year
programs for education.
(2) This is a vague statement. “Excellent
people skills” is a cliché. It conveys no
meaning without examples. The student
needs to demonstrate his/her people skills
by giving examples and the student
should explain what he/she means by an
interest in helping young people.
I plan to complete the
requirements for the
Associates Degree and
major in Education. (1.)
I have excellent people skills
and a deep interest in
helping young people. (2.)
11. EXAMPLE #3 - continued
(3) The final statement on
funding is very weak. The
student “hopes” to have his/her
education funded by
scholarships, grants, or student
loans. This wording implies a
lack of research and planning.
I hope my education will be
funded by scholarships,
grants or student loans. (3.)
Commentary: This student probably has a career goal, but he/she
has not articulated it. The overall structure technically addresses all
aspects of the question, but provides no detail or insight.
12. EXAMPLE #4
(1) The problem here is no detail.
The student should indicate how
he/she has helped people with
emotional problems. Listening to
friends does not seem to be a good
foundation on which to build a
career.
I plan to become a chemical
dependency counselor for two
reasons. Number one, I like to help
people with emotional problems. I
always listen to my friends. Number
two, I am good at helping people.
(1.) I hope to succeed in this
program. My GPA is 2.73 and I
want to improve it. (2.)
(2) The student commits a common
error. If the GPA is less than stellar,
don’t refer to it unless specifically
asked. The reader would the purpose
of including this statement. Does the With your help, I will complete my
program. I would appreciate all the

scholarships, rather than a full-time
job, he/she could have a better
GPA? The point here is confusing.
(3) The student ignores the third part

of the question.
13. EXAMPLE #5
(1) This is a very good
statement of
educational goals. The
student is currently
pursuing phase one of
the goal. Phase two of
her goal is clearly
planned (notice that
she has investigated
the program at Eastern
Washington). The
includes a longer
termed goal when she
states that she hopes
to earn a Masters
Degree.
I am currently enrolled in the Dental Hygiene
Program at Clark College and will graduate
in the Spring of 2001. After taking a year off
from school to work in the field, I plan to
begin the degree program through Eastern
Washington University (coordinated by the
Dental Hygiene Director) and earn a
Bachelors Degree in Dental Hygiene.
Eventually, I hope to be able to teach at a
college level and earn a Masters Degree in
dental Hygiene. (1.)
14. EXAMPLE #5 - continued
(2) This paragraph clearly
defines her reasons for
becoming a dental hygienist.
Her first statement is pragmatic:
the field offers the income and
flexibility required to raise
children. She continues to point
out that she is very familiar with
the field and that she enjoys the
environment of the dentist’s
office. Her enthusiasm for her
career is obvious, and her
desire to be a “calming
presence” indicates that she is
well suited to dentistry.
I have chosen a career in Dental Hygiene
because I know it will provide me with the
salary I need to support my children as
well as the flexibility in hours necessary
for a single mother. I have several close
friends who are Dentists or Dental
Hygienists and they have provided me
with a thorough understanding of a career
in Dentistry. I enjoy the working
atmosphere of a dental office and I am
extremely excited about the field. The
more I learn in the program, the more
passionate I become about dentistry and
helping patient’s achieve optimum oral
health. I believe that I not only have the
ability to become an excellent dental
clinician, but that I will be a friendly,
caring, and calming presence to my
15. EXAMPLE #5 - continued
(3) This is a very good
account of the student’s
financial plan. The detail she
provides in dates and amounts
indicates that she well aware
of the cost of her education
and that she will budget to the
penny if necessary to meet
her goal. The reader gets the
sense that this is a proud and
determined student.
My education expenses since I began at
Clark in the Fall of 1997 have been paid for
with money awarded from Government
Grants and Scholarships. Last year I was
forced to take out a Perkins loan and may be
forced to again for the academic year
2000/2001. I will reapply for grants again this
year as well as scholarships. I am not
employed in order to meet both my
educational and familial responsibilities.
Because I am not employed and only receive
$127.02 per month in child support, I am in
constant need of financial assistance. I am
not on welfare or any other kind of public
assistance. The scholarships I have received
these past few years have been answers to
prayers. I cannot tell you how much the Clark
College Scholarships have helped my family.
Thank you so much for your past support and

(1) This student does
an excellent job
explaining his/her
choice of career. In
fact, the reader gets
the impression that
this student has had a
career plan since a
young age. The
student clearly
demonstrates
knowledge of his/her
chosen career, and
he/she more than
proves first hand
knowledge of the field.
This demonstrates
excellent focus.
I have always possessed a strong desire to help people. From the
experience that I have gained throughout my high school career, I
have come to realize that I want to become a physician. I have taken
many classes to prepare for my future, such as Advanced Medical
Research and Sports Medicine, Medical and Sports Medicine
Applications and an independent study, Advanced Research Health
Careers. Through the Advanced Research Health Careers class, I
had the opportunity to tour various medical facilities, as well as
become an American Red Cross certified Emergency Responder.
The class is designed for the student who has taken all the medical
courses offered and who would like to continue to educate
themselves on specific medical careers. Through this class I have
researched the career of a neonatal intensive care physician, and I
am positive that that is the career I want to pursue. I have
volunteered at the Doernbecher Neonatal Care Center, witnessing a
cesarean section birth and helping physicians and nurses take care
of premature and ill babies.
Sports Medicine Applications is a two-hour after-school class
where injured athletes come in to be treated and taped by students.
While taking this hands-on class, I was assigned to a high school
sports team as the official Student Athletic Trainer. As a junior, I was
awarded with the Most Improved Trainer award. I competed at the
1999 Sports Medicine State Competition at the varsity level and

(2) The student has a
clear educational plan.
The reader feels that the
student has researched
schools as thoroughly as
he/she researched a
career choice.
(3) The final paragraph
reveals the only weakness
in an otherwise excellent
essay. The student
doesn’t indicate his/her
plans to finance his/her
education at Clark. While
the student clearly has
good plans for long-term
financing, a statement
about financing an
education at Clark College
should be included.
To achieve my ultimate goal of becoming a
physician, I am going to spend my first two years at
Clark College, graduating in 2002 with an Associate
in Applied Science Degree through the Associate
Degree Nursing program. Upon completion of the
nursing program, I will take the National Council
Examination for licensure as a registered nurse. (2)
I will spend my next six years at the University of
Washington School of Medicine, because their
medical program is one of the highest ranked in the
nation. Because of my degree from Clark College, I
will be able to become a registered nurse, which will
help me afford to further my education, along with
scholarships. (3)
18. EXAMPLE #7
(1) The student needs to
add the specifics of his/her
educational goals. There
should be some indication
of a long-term plan. What
steps are required to teach
high-school English? The
student could have also
added more detail to the
“qualifications” section.
One or two quick
references to specific
classes, or even better, a
practical application of
skills would help.
Education has always been an incredibly rewarding and
enjoyable experience for me. Although I always planned
to attend college, I have only recently determined my
major, English. I plan to become a high school English
teacher. My decision stems from my proficiency, and
more importantly, my love for English. Throughout
school, English has always been the most enjoyable
and enriching classes for me. I have consistently
performed will in higher-level courses and I look forward
to updating my basic English skills, learning and
improving upon the advanced abilities such as analyzing
written content, and understanding prose in all its forms.
I feel that I am very qualified for this career path.
Although I highly value excellence in English courses, I
have also recognized the importance of the learning
process and hard work, and how it has improved the
master and application of various skills in all forms of
communication. I feel my greatest contribution to the
field of education would be my devotion to the complex
skill of language and my regard for its difficulty and
importance, the primary focus of this educational and

(2) This is a strong section of
the essay. The student has
clearly worked to save
money, and this indicates
determination.
I plan to fund my education through
funds saved, part-time work,
scholarships or grants, and assistance
from my parents. I believe I will be well
prepared for college and especially this
field of study. Being able to discover and
achieve my educational goals in a
vocation that I enjoy and truly find
rewarding will be an invaluable
experience. (2)
