The PEAK Performance student group at Colorado Mountain College launched a seatbelt safety campaign called "Click It For Steph" in response to a tragic car accident that killed one student, Stephenie Jo Zgorzynski, who was ejected from the vehicle because she was not wearing a seatbelt. The group handed out candy bars to those wearing seatbelts and lollipops to those who were not as part of their ongoing awareness efforts across multiple campus locations. They also planted a memorial tree for Steph and put up permanent signs around campus to promote seatbelt safety and honor her memory. The campaign was well-received and successfully brought awareness to preventing future accidents.
The “Life Jacket Worn…Nobody Mourns” Campaign is an award-winning campaign that targets adult males to provoke them to wear life jackets. The non-profit Corps of Engineers Natural Resources Education Foundation is currently managing their second grant from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, administered by the USCG, to augment this campaign.
Feedback from focus groups was used to develop the campaign and products including logo, video PSAs, audio PSAs, posters, and artwork for banners, billboards, publication ads and social media. These products are available for download at www.PleaseWearIt.com. Also, a free mobile game “Lake Guard” is downloadable on Google Play and Apple app stores. The current grant funds are assisting to improve the mobile game, developing additional campaign video PSAs (in shorter 15-second formats), and providing tailgate wraps and banners to promote the campaign at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) lake and river projects. USACE has supplemented the campaign by developing other promotional products.
In this session, we will be presenting an overview of the campaign, how it is being used, and seeking feedback from you on new draft video PSAs. Also, campaign products that have been produced will be available for participants to take with them and use.
It’s the key to successful galactic hitchhiking and plain common sense. You never know when you will need it, whether it’s at the beach, on a picnic, or just to dry off. While many hostels offer towels, you never know, and carrying a small towel won’t add that much weight to your bag.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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.

For Steph
1. CLICK IT FOR STEPH:
A SAFETY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
Colorado Mountain College
Glenwood Springs, CO
Katie S. Richard W. Brooke L. Jessica A. Tyler P. Melanie A. Brittney M. Erick Z. Alex C. Nick S. Abbie K.
Promoting Safety with Dum-Dum’s and Chocolate
2. In the Face of Tragedy…
On the night of October 20, 2011, four Colorado
Mountain College students were involved in a serious
car accident… three survived. Stephenie Jo Zgorzynski
died on the way to the hospital after being thrown
from the car that had rolled multiple times. The
survivors each sustained injuries serious enough to
require at least a one night stay in the hospital. Injuries
included: a broken back, broken elbow and deep
facial lacerations. Because Steph had not been
wearing her seatbelt, CMC’s PEAK Performance
decided that it was necessary to raise awareness
about the five seconds it takes to buckle a seatbelt.
3. Turning Adversity into Action
After the accident, we as a
health and wellness group,
knew that we needed to act.
We spent time planning our
campaign, always remaining
respectful to anyone that was
involved. Rather than a one-
day event, we, as PEAK,
decided to repeat our event
every few weeks at multiple
locations to interact with as
many people as possible while Each PEAK member had an equal role
in planning and participating in each
reinforcing the importance of event that took place. Jobs included
wearing a seatbelt- no matter making signs, handing out candy bars,
how short the drive! photographing, planning, collaboration,
shopping, and organizing materials
(signs, bracelets, candy).
4. A Team Effort to Promote Safety
We made signs to encourage safe driving but
out efforts were our main advertising: as
students, faculty, and community members
drove in and out of campus, we gave them
full-size candy bars if they were wearing
seatbelts and passed Dum-Dum lollipops to
those who were not.
Engaging with those who stopped was immensely
more effective than putting up signs or holding a
one-time event. Handing out candy bars every
couple weeks encouraged safety and everyone
was happy about it… even the bicyclist that got a
Snickers for wearing his helmet!
5. CMC PEAK Makes NOYS!
Raising awareness and speaking in honor of Steph,
CMC’s PEAK Performance dedicated days to
distracted driving simulators, distracted driving
programs and of course our flagship Seatbelt
Awareness Program. Unlike Tyler Presnell, featured by
NOYS, Steph did not survive a car crash. For months
our student body focused on the tragedy, but we, as
PEAK, decided that it was time to reach out to our
community.
Collaborating with Student Government and
Phi Theta Kappa, we planted a tree at the
Vet Tech Farm where Steph spent all her
days taking classes and riding horses.
Inspired in part by what Dianne Feldman did
for her daughter Casey, this tree will live on
as a memorial for Steph.
6. Everyday Awareness
In an effort to create a permanent reminder of the
dangers of not wearing a seatbelt, PEAK purchased
signs to be hung around campus. The signs read: “Click
It 4 Steph. In loving memory of Steph Jo Zgorzynski
3/20/93 – 10/20/11” We plan to expand this
awareness by purchasing more signs and extending the
reach from the campus community to the local
community. By doing this, we hope to prevent future
accidents by reminding everyone leaving campus to
fasten their seatbelts.
7. Community Efforts
Throughout this process, other
groups on campus became very
interested in what we were doing
and because of this we
collaborated with many of them
on our efforts. These groups
include: Student Activities Council,
Vet Tech program, Women’s
Forum, Student Government
Campus Store, Roaring Fork Co-
op, Residence Life Staff, Student
Ambassadors, Glenwood local
nursery, and CMC Administration. Calla Fisher, the young women in the front
The help that we received from row second from the left was one of the
outside sources led to the success
of this program. passengers in the accident. She sustained a
serious back injury that effected her
everyday life. She was an active
participant and eager to join our efforts.
8. Continuing Efforts
Taking inspiration from the Oprah Winfrey show we
continued our efforts to educate students on distracted
driving. “No Phone Zone” is a program that informs
students not only of the dangers of using a cellular
phone while diving but other forms of distraction as
well. At the end of the event we invited students to sign
a pledge (below picture) stating they would not use
their phone while driving.
Seeing the bracelets
on the NOYS website,
our group decided to
make our own “Click It
For Steph” bracelets
to honor Steph.
9. Response and Feedback
“The PEAK students chose to create a positive
outcome from a tragic student accident. We all
need to be reminded of the importance of
ALWAYS wearing seatbelts and the “Click it for
Steph” campaign does this while memorializing
“ ‘Click It For Steph’ is an excellent a caring, loving student whose life ended so
example of how our students turned unexpectedly.” –Lisa Doak, CMC Dean of
a tragic event into a respectful Student Affairs
learning opportunity for the students
as well as college personnel. PEAK
Performance developed innovative
strategies that not only changed
behavior but ultimately saved lives.
Their dedication to respectfully
honoring a student’s memory is an
inspiration to us all.” –Mark McCabe
(Assistant Vice President of Student
Affairs)
10. The Big Picture
The responses we have received from the community have been very supportive and
positive. We truly feel like we have made an impact on students with these efforts and
this is apparent through the increased involvement on campus. When we began this
campaign, our overall goal was to highlight the preventable nature of this tragedy.
Taking action gave our students that were directly involved an emotional outlet,
something positive to focus on, and a sense of accomplishment. We will continue the
“Click It For Steph” campaign in upcoming semesters at CMC. Our future goals are:
purchase more traffic signs for the community, continue with the candy bar seatbelt
campaign, extend the bracelet giveaway, and never forget Stephenie Jo Zgorzynski.
