INTRODUCTION
The new K to 12 curriculum proposed by the Department of Education has a big role in guiding the student’s career by giving the necessary knowledge that is essential for student their chosen career path. The department of education propose four tracks that includes (1) The Academic Strand which includes the Accountancy, Business and Management Strand, the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics strand , the Humanities and Social Science strand, as well as the General Academic Strand; the (2) Technical Vocational Strand, that includes the Home Economics Strand, the TVL Maritime, the Agriculture and Fisheries Strand, and the Information and Communication Strand; (3) Sports Track; and the (4) Arts and Design Track
The curriculum of the different specializations of the different strands are carefully selected and distributed to give quality education to the Senior High School students. The subjects offered are subdivided into three categories namely the core subject, the applied subject, and the specialized subject. Each subjects play a role on the student. The core subjects includes the general academics where in it is taken by all the strands. The applied subjects where in simulations and practical subjects were included that is also taken by all the strand. The specialized subjects are enrichment courses that includes the fundamentals basics of selected college subjects.
The researcher aim to focus on the Computer System Servicing Strand as their respondents where in the focus of the research will be more subjective for it is correlated. The main focus of the study is on the specialized subject and its problems to the CCS students.
The researchers claim that within the two years of Senior High School, a lot of factors nay influence the students in taking the strand efficiently and seriously as heading to.

Detailed Lesson Plan (Reading and Writing) Techniques in Critical ReadingAnjenette Columnas
This is a lesson plan that was collaboratively made with my fellow student interns during our internship days. It is about the techniques in critical reading and tips on how to distinguish and be a critical reader. Enjoy!
I hope that this power point could help a lot of students and I spent a lot of time about this, it is the cause why my eyes are always dropping tears. Instead making a power point about chinese literature, I offer this ppt and make some edit of it.
Hope that this can help you much in your studies and lessons :)

In this presentation, I share with my staff the three factors in determining text complexity with classroom based examples of each, especially the qualitative measure that so heavily depends on digging deeper into anchor stands 4, 5, and 6 regarding Author's Craft. At Lake Myra, we also believe in making sure that ALL students (regardless of their instructional reading level) get at least one dose daily of reading in their grade level stretch band, and if that's different than their instructional level, then an additional scoop of instruction at their lower instructional level.
Using the PicCollage App for Reading ComprehensionJennifer Jones
Creation apps are the hottest thing in the classroom right now. Most teachers have PicCollage on their phone for saving memories with pictures from the camera roll. But, how many teachers are using PicCollage for learning? Or, better yet, turning the app usage over to students? I created this presentation for my session at the Margaret Blount Harvey Literacy Institute in Greenville, North Carolina. Teachers will learn why Pic Collage is the perfect app for digital creations, see several examples of PicCollage for reading comprehension and create a PicCollage f their own.

This is the presentation I did for the staff at my own elementary school (90 minutes). After this presentation, teachers felt they had the tools, strategies and conceptual understanding to move on with teaching "the Common Core way" not to mention motivation and empowerment. This presentation not only covers the anchor standards and strands of the Common Core for ELA, but emphasizes the 3 shifts in the Common Core that are vital for student success in school and life. Here is the hand-out that goes with it: http://goo.gl/gzUny
Graphic Organizers for the Common Core: ELA (K-2) Preview SamplerJennifer Jones
This is preview sample of the graphic organizers I have created, from scratch, to align with each of the Reading Literature (RL) and Reading Informational Text (RIT) standards of the Common Core for ELA. As you know, WRITING ABOUT READING is BIG in the Common Core, and these sheets give students just that opportunity to respond thoughtfully and a rigorous way that is called for in the Common Core standards. In the full version, there are over 400 graphic organizers in all. The Common Core standard for which each page aligns in noted in the upper right corner of each sheet, which is helpful if your gradebook requires you to denote the standard, which ours does...PowerSchool. Thanks for looking. Full products can be purchased in my TeachersPayTeachers store at www.hellojenjones.com
Embracing Tier 2 {...and all the mCLASS sweeties with yellow dots}Jennifer Jones
I prepared this presentation for a nearby elementary school who hired me to help them with Tier 2 of the RTI (Response to Intervention) process including reading interventions, high yeild strategies for Tier 1 and Tier 2 and strategies for best practices in literacy instruction, literacy intervention and literacy progress monitoring.
Beyond Question Stems: Critical Thinking in the 21st Century ClassroomJennifer Jones
I developed and delivered this presentation for South Mebane Elementary School in Alamance County. The focus was higher order thinking and critical thinking skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. Language, Comprehension and Vocabulary standards were highlighted from the Common Core with a special emphasis on the 3 shifts of the Common Core for ELA.
Developing Critical Thinking in Our Youngest LearnersJennifer Jones
These are my slides from my session, Developing Critical Thinking in Our Youngest Learners, that I gave at the PK1 Conference in Santa Clara, CA in January 2015.

If Rosa Parks Could Text: Content Area Writing in the Literacy BlockJennifer Jones
These are the slides I created for my session at the North Carolina Reading Conference, held in Raleigh, North Carolina, March 15-17, 2015. The essence of this presentation is about the necessary Intermediate Literacy writing skills necessary as students are "learning to write" and learning the content at the same time. Disciplinary literacy may be a bit of stretch for elementary but we can begin teaching students how to read and write like a historian, how to read and write like a scientist, and how to read and write like a mathematician. #ncra15 Accompanying handouts are on my Slideshare page, too. #presentationzen #contentareawriting #writingaboutreading #disciplinaryliteracy #writingtolearn I am happy to come and deliver this enthusiastic and energetic professional development session to your school or district.

Teaching with Urgency Without Teaching to the TestJennifer Jones
These are the slides I created for my session at the North Carolina Reading Conference, held in Raleigh, North Carolina, March 15-17, 2015. The essence of this presentation is about raising our awareness, as teachers, about time. The amount of time we teach, te amount of time it takes students to complete assignments, the amount of time is takes us to respond and give instructional feedback to students, the amount of time we waste by taking group bathroom breaks, the amount #ncra15 Accompanying handouts are on my Slideshare page, too. #presentationzen #vitalinstructionalbehaviors
Actor Model is a general model of concurrent computation developed by Carl Hewitt in 1973. It provides a flexible mechanism for building parallel and distributed software systems. In recent years the advent of multi-core architecture and massive cloud-based concurrent applications renewed the interest in Actor-based programming, as it helps in development of reliable, scalable and massively-concurrent computer systems. Therefore actor frameworks are available for every programming language and their implementations are currently used by the major web service competitors such as Linkedin, Twitter, Amazon, Yahoo!, Facebook and Microsoft.
Architectural patterns for an API Centric architecture. We discuss the misconceptions around statelessness and the different components that allow for a flexible and reliable runtime based on REST APIs.

I was asked to be a guest speaker in Dr. Wendy Warner's class at North Carolina State University and talk about the way teachers and students use social media to connect and learn with other students, teachers and educators around the world.
Word Up! Vocabulary Instruction in the 21st Century ClassroomJennifer Jones
This is my presentation to accompany my (one day) Tier 2 and Tier 3 Hello Literacy workshop on vocabulary instruction. Perfect for Common Core, especially if your school is implementing a school-wide vocabulary instruction focus. This workshop includes the work of Marzano, the 6-Step Process, Vocabulary Notebooks, the work of Beck & McKeown, and the creation of Text Talk lessons.
This is a short overview of the shifts and thinking behind the Common Core Standards for ELA. This presentation was the first introduction to the staff, it's short and sweet and only the major points, as to not overwhelm with details of each major point. This powerpoint is licenced under Creative Commons. Feel free to use with your staff.
Powerful Test-Taking Strategies - Elementary LevelJennifer Jones
If you know me or follow my blog, you know I'm not a fan of worksheet or pages and pages of test-prep material. However, I do believe in setting kids up for success and teaching them strategies to capture all they know on end-of-grade tests. Follow my blog at helloliteracy.blogspot.com
Reciprocal Teaching: A Comprehension StrategyJennifer Jones
Reciprocal Teaching is structure for teaching students to comprehend text with teacher support, eventually leading to independence. It is a combination of four reading strategies: Questioning, Clarifying, Summarizing and Predicting.
This is a presentation I created to explain the Concepts of Print to Kindergarten parents at our school's Literacy Night. Parents said it was very helpful!
This presentation is based on the work of Robert Marzano. This presentation is a visual representation of Chapter 2, Identifying Similarities and Differences from the book, Classroom Instruction That Works by Robert J. Marzano & Debra J. Pickering.

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.

…is a way of looking at a book and
analyzing what the author is saying and
the methods the author [and
