Unit One Reflection
For this week’s journal entry reflect on your teaching experience. In both the Marzano and Jones textbooks, the authors stress the importance of focusing on classroom policies and procedures at the beginning of the school year in order to achieve a good start. How closely do you attend to the types of procedures discussed by these authors and what might you do differently in terms of planning and instructing in the future as a result of the readings? I work with students who are only assigned to my caseload; therefore I’m not closely involved in school wide/teacher planning. However, at times I participate in Intervention meetings with the Principal, Assistant Principal, teacher(s), School psychologist, School social worker and sometimes the parent. During the meetings, I offer strategies for classroom management behaviors. If a student is a candidate for ADHD or any disability, I arrange for psychological testing to assess whether possible ADHD or emotional factors are interfering with the student’s academic performance, provide feedback to the parents, and school officials regarding the psychological evaluation. I also consult with parents and school officials about designing effective learning programs for intervention strategies that build on his strengths and compensate weaknesses.
Unit Two Reflection
The "Dealing with the Dilemma of Gum Chewing" case study provides an example of how we can teach productive behaviors. After completing this week's reading, reflect on where this type of strategy might apply in your setting.
•Have you encountered situations in your setting where this approach may be more productive than what you have been doing? In the Kindergarten class, the students continue to struggle with picking up cut paper. Instead of having the students cut paper, the teacher showed the class how to fold the paper and use the edge of their desk to cut. After several times of redirecting, the students were able to begin using the scissors again. The students developed a system in the class where 1 person from each table (red, blue, purple, yellow) collects the paper straps.
•What are the ethical issues involved in establishing expectations without teaching the appropriate expected behaviors? Ethical issues continue to be an ongoing issue today in schools and without providing detailed expectations teachers leaves room for issues and concerns. Misinforming, consents, students getting hurt, etc. could happen. Students could always say they were not informed and the responsibility falls back on the teacher. I think in this situation communication is vital.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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. Inclusion Setting:
Inclusion involves keeping special education students in
general education classrooms and bringing the support
services to the child, rather than bringing the child to the
support services. It demonstrates commitment to educate
and maximize the potential of each student in the school
and classroom he or she would attend. It requires only that
the student will benefit from being in the class rather than
having to keep up with the other student. Inclusion speaks
for a belief that students with disabilities belong in a regular
program of the school where special services are available
to support the effort.
3. Principles of Effective Inclusion
1. It improves the educational system for all students
by placing them together in general classroom
education regardless of their learning ability, race,
linguistic ability, economic status, gender, learning
style, ethnicity, cultural background, religion,
family structure, and sexual orientation.
2. It involves sensitivity to and acceptance of
individual needs and differences.
4. Principles of Effective Inclusion
3. It requires reflective educators to modify their
attitudes, teaching and classroom management
practices, and curricula to accommodate individual
needs.
4. It involves collaboration among educators, other
professionals, students, families, and community
agencies.
5. • A general education or special education teacher in an
inclusion classroom will be involved with numerous
rewarding and challenging experiences. One of which is
helping students with special needs develop positive
social interaction with their peers.
• One of the essential elements of successful inclusion is
the degree to which the student with disability feels
a part of general education classroom. The feeling of
belonging positively affects the student’s self-image and
self-esteem, motivation to achieve, speed of adjustment to the
larger classroom and new demands, general behavior, and
general level of achievement.
6. • Encouraging positive relationships between students with
disabilities and students without disabilities requires the
preparation of the latter to understand their classmates
with special needs. Teachers may use different strategies to help
the students achieve a sense of belonging to the class and school.
• Keeping that in mind, one of the most crucial things an
inclusion classroom teacher must do is to establish and
maintain a positive and supportive classroom environment.
When students feel wanted and appreciated by the
teacher, they are more likely to follow instructions, work
hard, and demonstrate positive classroom behavior. This
may be true of difficult students who have difficulty
dealing with adults or teachers.
7. • Social competence is the degree to which students are
able to establish and maintain satisfactory interpersonal
relationships, gain peer acceptance, establish and
maintain friendships, and terminate negative
interpersonal relationships. Effective social problem
solving requires reading one’s own and others’ feelings, and
being able to accurately label and express those feelings. Such
skills are aspects of social and emotional learning (Zins,
et.al., 1998). It can help students with disabilities develop
strong and positive peer relationships, succeed in
school, and begin to explore adult roles. It also supports
the positive development of healthy adult relationships with
family members and peers.,
Importance of Social Skills
8. Studies observe that adolescents who have strong social skills,
particularly in the areas of conflict resolution, emotional intimacy,
and the use of pro-social behaviors, are more likely to be
accepted by peers, develop friendships, maintain
stronger relationships with parents and peers, be
viewed as effective problem solvers, cultivate greater
interest in school, and perform better academically.
Adequate social skills need to be acquired while students are
still enrolled in school, further supported and refined in
postsecondary, community, and work settings.
Importance of Social Skills
9. Social Cognitive Skill Development
Research has demonstrated that a significant
proportion of students who fail to adjust socially to the
classroom environment lack effective social problem
solving skills such as:
Lack of empathy
Poor impulse control
Inability to generate multiple and effective
solutions to problems faced in the classroom.
10. Deficiencies in cognitive problem solving skills
often lead to emotional and behavioral
disorders requiring treatment. The teacher in
the inclusive classroom needs to address the social-
behavioral domain as well as academic domain.
Research on teaching indicates giving training in
social-cognitive skills to youth who are at risk of
failure in general education classrooms can
improve student’s social effectiveness, achieving
social goals, and reducing problem behaviors
(Kochar, et.al., 2000)
11. The Role of Social Skills at School
Deficits in social skills are key criteria in defining many high-
incidence disabilities that hinder students’ academic progress.
HIGH-INCIDENCE DISABLITIES:
• specific learning disabilities
• attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• mentally retardation
• emotional disturbance
***helping students learn social skills is a proactive approach
to minimizing the impact of these types of disabilities on school
success (Gresham, et.al., 2001)
12. When social skills are absent, educators cannot fully
engage students in a variety of learning experiences,
especially those that are cooperative. As inclusion
classroom teachers increasingly use cooperative
learning strategies across their curriculum, the need
for students to have strong social skills is evident.
To participate fully in cooperative learning, some
students with disabilities need training in skills such as:
• giving and receiving feedback
• listening
• appropriate self-disclosure.
13. Strategies to Foster a Sense of
Belonging in the Inclusion Classroom
1.Discuss expectations with the student’s peers
and encourage interaction.
2. Use cooperative group learning.
3. Assign peer advocates, a peer mentor, or a
buddy who is responsible for interacting with
and helping a student in classroom activities and
social situations.
14. Strategies to Foster a Sense of
Belonging in the Inclusion Classroom
4. Assign a teacher advocate to the student, with
whom the student can consult for guidance,
general support, or crisis assistance.
5. Include the student in the daily roll call and
in all class pictures, and place the student’s work
on the bulletin boards right along with the work
of his or her peers.
6. Establish a lunch buddy system.
15. Creating a Positive Inclusion Classroom
Climate
1. Learn students’ names and know something
about each student.
2. Hold daily classroom meetings each morning to
help build a sense of community and provide
opportunities for conservation among students.
3. Provide unstructured time when students can
practice their social skills with peers and
experience feedback
16. Creating a Positive Inclusion Classroom
Climate
4. Encourage journal writing to improve self-awareness.
5. Provide opportunities for students to participate
noncompetitively in extracurricular activities.
6. Provide ways for students to provide feedback
regarding their experience at school, and show them that
their input is taken seriously.
7. Make a point of connecting briefly and informally,
over a period of several days, with individual students
who are having difficulties
