Brittany Maderia is researching how public schools fund art programs such as band, choir, drama, art, and dance. These programs are often overlooked and underfunded, despite their benefits for students. Maderia will discuss why art programs from kindergarten through 12th grade are important and how schools can improve funding to support all programs. She disagrees with claims that art provides no academic benefits, as studies show arts can improve cognitive abilities and life skills. Maderia aims to promote art programs without reducing other activities.

Participatory, Open Ended and Inclusive Music Education. Lessons Learned from...Pat Thomson
The research presented here is a case study of a music education programme based on a participatory approach, and introduced in a community after-school centre in Praga–Południe, an underprivileged district of Warsaw. The main principles of the applied approach were having an open-ended learning process and practical curriculum-making (Elliott, 1995). The children were offered free access to a variety of music instruments. The main research methods were participant observation, auto-ethnography and free-form interviews. The research was conducted from June to November 2017, the research team consisted of 4 people: 2 music educators and 2 music sociologists. The participants in the study were children attending music lessons (age group 7-14, with a slight predominance of 10-and-less year olds). The study does not provide sufficient data for general conclusions about the influence of the applied music education model on social behaviours, nevertheless, a strong correlation between the participant’s overall emotional disposition and the preferred kind of musical expression was observed.

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.
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.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. My research topic is...
Throughout this semester I will be researching how public schools are funding
art programs. This is an important topic for me personally because one day I
wish to be a music educator in a public school. Nowadays the art programs such
as band, choir, drama, art, and dance are being overlooked at and underfunded.
This means that the school isn’t providing sufficient resources and money for
these programs to give kids successful and worthy opportunities along with
amazing experiences and benefits. I will be discussing why art programs are so
beneficial for students from K-12, and how schools can improve their budget in
ways that will satisfy the needs of every program in their district.
3. History
Many of the school systems in America are based around ideals set place during
the 19th century. The main purpose of school was to give kids opportunities to
get jobs or to get them ready to go to college. This is why there are mandatory
classes such as Math and English, which cannot be cut.
Now that we are in the 21st century, some school boards have this same mindset.
Most of the art and music programs are starting to get cut because of the lack of
funding and importance. During the 90’s many arts classes were cut in most
towns.
People believe only the “intelligent” classes are worthy to keep rather than the
classes that allow kids to be creative. Many schools focus on the structured
STANDARDIZED TESTS
4. Individuals Involved
❏ Julie Dyson, the chairwoman of National Advocates for Arts Education
(NAAE). She started this organization to ban together visual and performing
arts educators, so they can spread the word on why these forms of arts are
important in education.
❏ Felice Mancini, President and CEO of The Mr Holland’s Opus Foundation. A
program where they raise money and accept donations for music programs
in schools
❏ Neil Portnow, President and CEO of Grammy Music Education Coalition.
The organization brings musical opportunities to underserved communities
and individual students
5. Questions I Have
1) How can we promote and aid arts programs without bringing
any other activities or academics down?
2) How can parents get involved and help advocate for this issue?
3) What can the teachers do to help persuade any school board or
administration to keep their program?
4) How is it beneficial for the students when they get to be a part
of/choose to join these creative and expressive activities?
6. A viewpoint that I disagree with
An article titled, “Arts Education May Be Important, But the Academic Benefits
Are Unproven”, brings up a claim that participating in the art serves no or little
academic benefits. However, there are many studies that do show cognitive
improvement. When creating music it is proven that both sides of one’s brain is
working at once. There are many situations in every school that show kids who
are in band or choir have higher scores on tests and SATs. Not only does art
programs allow kids to improve mentally, but it teaches them much more
important life lessons and enables them to build long lasting relationships. I
believe that that is a greater advantage than getting a high test score.
