IES Investigates Content-Specific PD Garet x crushtonEvan Rushton
The studies provide evidence that PD programs focused on improving teachers’ content knowledge and their knowledge about content-specific pedagogy can produce significant gains in teachers’ knowledge by the end of the year in which the PD program is implemented.
The studies also provide evidence that a one-year PD program can improve some aspects of instructional practice.
None of the three studies showed a positive effect on student achievement at the end of the year that the PD was implemented, as measured by accountability tests or tests constructed specifically for the studies. The studies found that most of the measured aspects of teachers’ knowledge and practice were not associated with student achievement. The few that were had, at best, modest associations.

Practical Strategies to Modify Your Curriculum for Students Working Below Gra...Brookes Publishing
Educators use a variety of strategies and learning accommodations to teach diverse learners. However, educators can struggle to make grade-level curriculum possible and achievable for students with intellectual disabilities. An educational process, known as modifying curriculum, can open doors to an inclusive, high quality education for students who work below grade level. In this edWebinar, Nicole Eredics, author of Inclusion in Action: Practical Strategies to Modify Your Curriculum, will give you step-by-step instruction on when and how to modify curriculum.
Nicole, a seasoned inclusion teacher, has the information, tools, and strategies you need to take grade-level curriculum and transform it into rigorous content that is intellectually and developmentally appropriate for students who work below grade level. Most importantly, learn:
– The fundamentals of creating and maintaining truly inclusive classrooms
– An overview of ways to support diverse learners through universal design for learning, social and emotional supports, and accommodations
– The role of curriculum modifications in the education process
How to modify any curriculum for students with intellectual disabilities
– Strategies that will quickly and easily modify curriculum in any classroom with suggestions for interventions and extensions
– Useful educational resources for modifying curriculum
– Classroom and special education teachers across all grade levels as well as administrators will benefit from this recorded session. Learn more about modifying curriculum to support all students.

A Summer in Wonderland: An Engineer’s Adventure Through the World of Student ...Brown Fellows Program
Summer was broken down into two parts. The first half consisted of participating in the University of Louisville's Student Orientation Staff (SOS’er). As an SOS’er it was my responsibility to introduce the incoming Freshmen to the University, specifically I worked with the Speed School of Engineering students and helped to build many of the students' first semester schedules. The second part of the summer started my internship with Joe Dablow in the Enrollment Management office. In this internship I have applied the principles of Industrial Engineering to Enrollment Management to forecast retention rates of student cohorts and analyze the makeup of each class (original freshman, transfer, etc.). This internship will continue through the Fall semester.
"Silos Support Farmers, Not the Learning Ecosystem" By Susan Meek- Serious Pl...SeriousGamesAssoc
Susan Meek speaks about "Silos Support Farmers, Not the Learning Ecosystem" at the 2012 Serious Play Conference
ABSTRACT:
In order to fully exploit technology’s potential in the new learning ecosystem, the creation of serious games and simulations must take into account the need to embrace a holistic strategy. When creating serious games and simulations to deliver and support curriculum, it is important to remember that the game or simulation’s ability to plug into a closed-loop instructional system will impact its chances of being adopted by the instructor. Technology tools, which seamlessly integrate into a continuous instructional feedback loop, will be able to capitalize on the true power of technology and will fuel the new learning ecosystem by inspiring and empowering students and teachers.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
