This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

Fall 2020 JOU 3304 20th Class October 29, 2020
1. JOU 3304
Sports Writing
Professor Michael Rizzo
Director, Journalism Program
Division of Mass Communication
Collins College of Professional Studies
Presentation for October 29, 2020
4. Recap
Analytics provide context and separate
skill from luck
Statistics allow sportswriters to find
stories, reveal something new, make
comparisons and analyze strategy
Statistics are interesting but the human
factor is MORE interesting
5. For today’s 1 p.m. ET deadline:
Write a 250-300 word story on the
sports fan and the World Series.
Make it engaging right from the
start of the story and not just a
summary lead about the World
Series and a few quotes.
Insert your analysis but not you.
7. Columnists are the apex of the
sports hill, the cream of the crop,
A-number one, top of the heap…
They are given great freedom
to be mad, glad, on the attack or
on defense.
9. Columns can be crusades for a
cause, a effort to improve or
change something, a focus on a
bigger issue, a way to bring
readers to different sides of a
topic.
10. Columns can give voice to someone
who is voiceless
Provide a DIY
Look at sport(s) not often “traveled”
and why they should be more
Capture, examine and analyze
history
16. Columns NEED facts and details that
support what they espouse.
You need to provide context,
background and history.
You need to be FEARLESS but also need
to remember…
17. You are putting yourself on record so
be sure you are saying EXACTLY what
you want to say.
18. Columns should aim to SLAY the
sacred cows that seem to rule the
roost, aim at legitimate
targets, make readers think but
also write about a topic that tugs
at heartstrings (i.e., gets people
“feeling” and not just reading).
19. In 1969, Dick Allen has a contentious relationship with the
Philadelphia Phillies. In August, he wrote "Boo“ in the dirt
by first base and the fans did just that. He was traded to
the Cardinals after the season ended.
23. Excerpted and Edited from:
How one sports columnist
approaches the sports column
by Dave Kindred
1) PREPARE: Decide what kind of
column you want to do: pure
opinion, commentary on an event,
color analysis of a spectacle,
a character study, or a sketch of a
person, place or thing.
24. An ideal column examines an issue
framed inside a real-life story like
showing a young boy’s courage by
telling the story of how the brain-
damaged child came to bat at an
important point in a kids’ game or a
column that would take a stand on NFL
racism and the lack of hiring of black
coaches by telling a black coach’s
experience with that issue.
25. A columnist’s first obligation is to be
topical.
That doesn’t mean every column
needs to be about something right at
this minute but the column should be
on something that is stirring current
debate or interest.
26. 2. BE INTELLECTUALLY READY.
Know as much about the subject as you
can. Read everything. Find out what
people want to know [about and what
they know].
Think hard about the dynamics in
controversies, the tensions in the
characters and the significance of the
event or what occurred.
27. The more you know, the more you
should know how much more you
need to know.
28. 3. BE PSYCHED.
Columnists come off as curmudgeons
when they criticize what other people
adore. But if they write it well, they
also entertain.
Readers follow columnists because they
are eager to share [or dispute]
the columnist’s position.
29. [Dave Kindred’s] hero, Red Smith, said,
"People go to ball games to have fun,
and they pick up the paper the next
morning to have that fun again."
30. For Monday November 2, 2020
Write a 250 word column on
the World Series and COVID-19
AND
Read the handout on covering
“other” sports
