Module overview:
Appearance deals with every aspect of how we perceive an individual. In an instant, we form opinions about a person based on that individual’s appearance, smell, cleanliness, and mannerisms. Those brief seconds define how we treat others or are treated by others. Likewise, our appearance is a direct reflection of the environment in which we were raised (i.e. a reflection upon our parents and families). Through our actions and appearance, others may form a lasting, and sometimes detrimental, impression of us that we may never overcome. This module will help you to learn the importance of your appearance and how it may affect your peer relationships and productivity.

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.
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.

&
Objectives
5. WHY I AM I DOING THIS PRESENTATION?
• Many of you don’t/won’t have the privilege of being able to
search for the perfect inclusive workplace
• I am not doing this to force you to conform!
• I want you to have all the tools and information that you need to
navigate workplace dress
• Its not as simple as saying “dress however you want too“ because
depending on the industry, there may be little wiggle room in their
dress code.
6. WHY I AM I DOING THIS PRESENTATION?
• I want to help create opportunities
and doors for you!
• Being comfortable in the
workplace helps productivity and
hire-ability.
• Don’t think about this as
compromise; think about this as
building your professional
brand and developing your
style
8. THE LAW IN ARIZONA
• Since 2003, Arizona has prohibited discrimination on
the basis of sexual orientation in government
employment and other public offices.
• Discrimination in employment on the basis of both
sexual orientation and gender identity is prohibited by
the following Arizona cities:
• Chandler
• Flagstaff
• Phoenix
• Scottsdale (public employment)
• Tucson
• Tempe (public employment)
• This means that you can still get fired in
most of Arizona for being gender-variant,
queer, LGBTQ, etc.
10. COWORKERS VS. CUSTOMERS
• Customers are tricky because in America
were are told that the customer is always
right… even when they are dead wrong.
• Always pass harassing customers to the
supervisor on duty.
• Set up a dialog with your supervisor on the
best way to handle offensive customers.
• Maintain dignity until the transaction is over or
can be passed onto another coworker.
• What about coworkers?
• Follow procedures outlined by HR in reporting
harassment.
• Discuss situation with supervisor
• Document any harassment and limit contact
with harassers to email, if possible.
11. WHAT IS UNLAWFUL HARASSMENT?
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission describes unlawful harassment as
such:
“Harassment becomes unlawful where
1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or
2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a
reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.”
Keep in mind that workplace bullying and harassment can be hard to prosecute so legal
action doesn’t produce the results as seen on TV.
CONSULT HUMAN RESOURCES AND YOUR
SUPERVISOR WHEN FACED WITH HARASSMENT.
12. COMPANIES THAT WELCOME DIVERSITY
• How do you find out if a
company is accepting?
• The HRC has a database of LGBT-friendly
employers
• ONE Community is a statewide organization
that promotes LGBT-friendly companies
• Check to see if they are an Equal
Opportunity Employer
• Go to LGBTQ job fairs and events to see
which companies sponsor and participate.
• LGBT-themed job sites like OutforWork or
Tucson LGBTQ Job Leads on Facebook
• Word of mouth
14. EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL WEAR
Beau Brummell created the
modern men's suit, worn with a
necktie. He took five hours to
get dressed, and advocated
that boots be polished with
champagne. He started the
trend called dandyism.
These European trends were
carried across the world as
colonialization and globalization
raised up European/English
fashion above cultural garb.
15. MODERNIZATION & CONFORMITY
Some cultural leaders fought back against
European trends while some embraced it
and forced it on their people.
Peter the Great decided to remake
‘backwards’ Russia by instituting European
fashion and forcing citizens to change their
clothes and even personally cutting off their
beards!
16. SUITS CAN BE REBELLIOUS
Suits have been a symbol of:
•Conformity
•Populism
•And
•Rebellion
These young men
are 1940s Zoot
Suiters who were
persecuted and
called ‘gangsters’
because of their
race and adaptation
of the suit.
17. WHY NEUTRALS, NAVYS, & MONOCHROMATIC
COLORS?
Neutrals, Navys, and monochromatic
blacks and whites are the classic colors
for office wear and now are associated
with conformity.
Yet in the beginning of the modern era,
they were seen as populist colors
because they were made from more
affordable dyes.
European nobles had many laws
concerning clothing with the aim to not
let commoners be confused with the
nobility.
18. WHY NEUTRALS, NAVYS, & MONOCHROMATIC
COLORS?
There is a
reason why the
guy tending to
the fire is
dressed in
brown and
everyone else is
in fancy colorful
robes!
20. HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL WEAR IN 1900S
In the 1920s and 1930s, there isn’t much of a
distinction between work wear and casual wear. Both
sexes were expected to dress modestly with
jackets/long sleeved shirts with skirts (women) or
trousers (men).
21. HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL WEAR IN 1900S
In the 1940s and 1950s, WWII and the Cold War
affect fashion by emphasizing conformity and
conservatism. Wartime rationing of fabric leads to the
rise of single-breasted suits and women forgoing their
stockings. The 1950s might have lead to more
abundance but fashion was still austere in the office.
22. HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL WEAR IN 1900S
In the 1960s and 1970s, color returns to the workplace and
men’s fashion enters its most fabulous era since the French
nobles of Versailles. Female clothing is losing its
standardization but no clear cut work uniform for woman has
taken its place. Patterns are approved, but a sense of reserve
in the length of sleeves, dresses, and trousers remains.
23. HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL WEAR IN 1900S
In the 1980s and 1990s, the excesses of the 60s and
70s takes men’s fashion back to basics. Masculine
touches are added to feminine office wear as women
try to break through the glass ceiling. Think Hilary
Clinton’s trademark pant or skirt suits. Then the 90s
were all about the khakis. For everyone.
24. WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM HISTORY?
• There has been a tried and
true masculine fashion
choice for the office for
centuries.
• There is no such office
default for feminine people
and masculinization of
feminine fashion is the
norm.
• Neutral colors and a
reserved style of
dressing has had the
longest staying power of
office wear trends.
• What do you think aboutWhat do you think about
the evolution of officethe evolution of office
wear?wear?
25. GENERAL RULES FOR PROFESSIONAL WEAR
• Now that you know the history, what
do you think are some general rules
for professional wear?
27. Finance/Banking:
• Conservative and formal
Sales
• Should correspond with the trendiness of your product and customer base.

DRESS CODES BY INDUSTRY
Do you have an industry dress code that you would like

29. REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN USA
Outfits are more casual in Tucson and the rest of the
West Coast.
30. INTERVIEWING CLOTHES VS. WORK OUTFITS
• Always dress more formally than the
office culture.
• You can’t remake a first impression.
• Dressing well shows the interviewer that
you are respectful, committed, and
knowledgeable about business norms.
31. 5 TIPS TO BUILD A PROFESSIONAL WARDROBE
• Choose timeless pieces and
avoid fads.
• Choose a color scheme so pieces
can mix and match.
• The shoes should be closed-toed
and comfortable.
• Insoles can turn pumps into
workhorse shoes.
• OSHA requires closed-toes shoes for
many workplaces. Check your
company’s dress code.
• Make sure that the outfits fit your
company’s level of professional
dress.
• Durability is key.
32. HAIR STYLES
Workplace hair has its controversies especially when it
has to do with People of Color. Check your employee
dress codes but be aware that more POC folks are going
natural with their hair and it has been upheld by EOE
Commissions.
33. HAIR STYLES
• Your hair should be tidy and clean with no artificial
coloring.
• Some workplaces now allow unnatural hair colors
but don’t expect it.
34. HAIR STYLES
• Your hair shouldn’t cover your face. Bangs should be
cut at your eyebrows.
• Masculine styles are generally more conservative when
it comes to bangs.
35. HAIR STYLES
Note: The Native American man in professional dress is
not being gender non-conforming with his braids. Many
native tribes hold braids on men with special
significance. Remember European-influenced styles
gender non-conformance is not universal.
36. • Makeup and
Accessories
• Less is always more
when it comes to
accessories and
makeup.
• Choose strategic
pieces.
• Example Makeup:
• Neutral eyeshadow
• Brown/Black Mascara
• Tinted lip balm
• Note: Some
industries accept
and expect more
flair with one’s
makeup.
MAKE UP
37. THINK ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL BRAND AKA
PROFESSIONAL STYLE
BRAINSTORM YOUR BRAND
• Don’t confusion
gender expression
with professional
style.
• You can do both, but most
people have to dress
differently for work.
• Take cues from
your industry’s
style standards.
38. FINAL WORD
• Find the
intersection where
your comfort level
and your
company’s dress
code intersect.

40. Before my transition, I purchased all of my "male" attire (with the exception of neck
ties) in "women's" clothing stores or in the "women's" department of a department
store. It IS entirely possible to get a really good, masculine and tailored look entirely
comprised of women's button down collared shirts, dress slacks, trouser socks and
dress flats... No one else ever noticed that the buttons buttoned on the "wrong side" or
that the fly was backward, but I did and it made me feel comfortable in at least having
some sort of feminine expression, even though I was the only person who knew
anything about it.
- Gina H., Association of Transgender Professionals
41. GENDER FABULOUS
“My personal approach to
dress at GT Inc was to stick
strictly to the “male” dress
code, making sure to stay with
traditional slacks, button down
dress shirts and ties. So what I
was wearing were acceptable
business garments but not
“female” business dress.”

43. GENDER FABULOUS
“So why would a sartorial profile so obviously
marginal, so obviously outside the mainstream, so
obviously fraught with subcultural meaning and
potential controversy, have absolutely no
observable impact on her level of professional
success?
And it’s a theory my partner shares from her own
subjective experience of her life. The theory is:
she is completely and totally at ease with who she
is, and so people respond with similar ease to who
she is, instead of getting hung up on what she
“signifies.””

45. Suits are excellent--or even dress shirts and pants. A little more or less color, a
little softer or more structured cut of shirt. One can look feminine or masculine or
androgynous in the same suit, depending on how you style your hair and how you
accessorize.

47. This outfit would be good for
an everyday professional
look. The scoop neck is not
too low, flats are
comfortable but also provide
a sense of professionalism,
and the patterns are not
overly garish. The colors are
muted, which can fall in line
with some dress codes, and
for an interview an open
fitted blazer or jacket can be
added to dress the look up.

48. This long sleeve dress and
leggings combination is both a
little casual and a little business.
The leggings are not being worn
as pants on their own and would
be covered by the long dress top.
The dress is cut a little lower, and
a neutral color camisole or short
tee-shirt could be used to prevent
the top from being too revealing. A
half boot and the pattern in the
dress add a fun mix of masculine
to the feminine look, for folks who
are looking to gender express. The
dress could be challenging
because of chest darts, which can
pucker for male-bodied folks

49. This outfit is more for the wow factor.
There are lots of times that we are told
that our professional dress much match
a certain look, clean lines, more on the
masculine side, and not too flashy. This
outfit however I feel can be perfectly
acceptable as professional wear
because of its components. The skirt is
long, so again not showing too much
skin, worn in conjunction with the tank
top it can look like a long dress that is
intentionally brighter on top. Tank tops
are often not considered professional,
so covering with an open jacket can
help with that. Having something that
has a bit of shimmer to it can provide
that fun femme feel without losing the
professional quality. And finally the
shoes, though they may not be
considered traditionally professional,
they are certainly fun and again give the
wearer the opportunity to gender
express/gender bend while maintaining
a sense of professional dress.
