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.

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.

2. Eden Prairie Schools District – MCA Reading
Eden Prairie Schools continues to make strides in closing the
achievement gap. Between 2008-2011, preliminary MCA Reading
results show the following improvement:
• white student scores by 5%
• Asian student scores by 10%
• Latino student scores by 12%
• Special Education student scores by 14%
• Black student scores by 21%
• Free/Reduced Lunch student scores by 21%, and
• Limited English student scores by 28%.
5. Student needs identified
What can be done?
The 3rd grade teachers, including the English specialist, are doing an
excellent job at helping the students be successful readers. Their
work is reflected in the improvement made by the 3 rd grade class
quarter after quarter.
Reflecting on their teaching practices, what does the 3rd grade team
have currently in place that works and what needs improvement to
address the areas of…
• Vocabulary / word recognition
• Comprehension of informational text
6. Best practices and research
Vocabulary / Word Recognition
The NRP states that “comprehension comprises two ‘skills’: Word
knowledge or vocabulary and reasoning.” Therefore, vocabulary
occupies an important position in learning to read.
In Manzo, we also learned that a solid vocabulary development
program balances direct instruction and incidental methods. This is
supported by the NRP’s findings about how repeated exposure to
vocabulary items is important for learning gains, especially when
instruction is extended beyond single class periods and involves
multiple exposures in authentic contexts beyond the classroom.
7. Best practices and research
Comprehension: Informational
Reading comprehension is defined on the NRP as “intentional
thinking during which meaning is constructed through interactions
between text and reader”. (Durkin, 1993)
According to Adrienne Gear in her book of Nonfiction Reading
Power, teaching students strategies to find out the information they
need in non-fiction or informational text is crucial. Comprehension is
often not a natural result of decoding but a result of explicitly
teaching students how to think rather than what to think.
8. Staff development needs
The literacy coach will model effective techniques inside and
outside the classroom.
Peer observation opportunities will be available at least twice a
year as a means of collaborating and demonstrating good practices
for teaching comprehension and vocabulary.
The 3rd grade team will study the books Nonfiction Reading Power
and What Every Educator Needs to Know About Teaching
Vocabulary as part of their PLC or study group.
9. Application

Listening to peer talks

Written assessments
• The teachers will use the data collected through formal and
informal assessments to guide their instruction.
• The teachers should always reinforce the process of how to think
rather than prepping for “correct” answers.

Editor's Notes
All our student groups have improved in reading, some by as much as 9% each year and there’s even greater growth for those students who are traditionally underserved. The achievement gap is closing in in Eden Prairie Schools.
2011 MCA Reading: EHSI 93.9% vs. EPS 87.2% vs. State 78.5%.Exceeds: 75.4%Meets: 18.4%Partially meets: 3.5%Does not meet: 2.6%
Word Recognition/Vocabulary and Comprehension: Informational are the areas in which the 3rd graders scored the lowest at the end of the year. The growth from Winter to Spring in these two areas is also smaller than in Comprehension: Narrative and Literature.
The NWEA data clearly shows these two areas to be the lowest.
Direct instruction= are almost always most effective than wide reading and other incidental means of promoting word learning. Incidental methods= Most knowledge or word meanings come incidentally through reading and listening. Research shows that learning a word from print takes six to ten exposures.
