Keynote presentation for the Education Leaders Forum - New Zealand. Abstract: The COVID pandemic has thrown back the curtain on a great deal of what needs to be improved or addressed in our current education system, including a high degree of inequity across all areas, especially access to onlinelearning.
The responses we saw during the 2020 lockdowns promised some transformative action and outcomes. But slowly we’ve seen a ‘return to the old normal’ mindset. The ‘big ideas’ that were evident have faded into obscurity as the old patterns of thinking and acting take over.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

5. Australian Curriculum
There is great congruence between global education and the Australian
Curriculum.
Goals
Global education aims to develop global citizens through promotion of open
mindedness and a willingness to take action for change, respecting and
valuing diversity, and being active in the development of a peaceful, just and
sustainable world.
It has much in common with the Melbourne Declaration on Education Goals
for Young Australians (2008), which promotes equity and excellence,
development of successful learners, confident and creative individuals and
active and informed citizens.
6. Australian Curriculum
Approach
Global education promotes flexible learning, which empowers students to
learn about the world, develop values around a positive sense of self,
appreciation of cultural diversity, passion for social justice and human rights
and building sustainable futures.
Like the Australian Curriculum it is cross-disciplinary to broaden and enrich
each student’s learning.
Teachers are able to choose how best to introduce concepts and processes
and how to progressively deepen understanding to maximise the
engagement and learning of every student.
7. Australian Curriculum
Skills
The skills developed in global education are similar to the general capabilities
of the Australian Curriculum, equipping students to be lifelong learners able
to operate with confidence in a complex, information-rich, globalised world.
The general capabilities particularly relevant to global education because
they focus on ways of thinking, acting, behaving or learning to live with others
are:
•Critical and creative thinking
•Ethical behaviour
•Personal and social competence
•Intercultural understanding.
8. Australian Curriculum
Perspectives
A global perspective encompasses the Australian Curriculum’s three cross-curriculum
priorities that assist learning to be relevant to the lives of students and address the
contemporary issues they face.
16. Twenty-first century Australians are
members of a global community,
connected to the whole
world by ties of culture, economics
and politics, enhanced
communication and travel and
a shared environment.
Enabling young people to
participate in shaping a better
shared future for the world is at the
heart of global education. It
emphasises the unity and
interdependence of human society,
developing a sense of self and
appreciation of cultural diversity,
affirmation of social justice and
human rights, building peace and
actions for a sustainable future in
different times and places.
http://www.globaleducation.edu.au/verv
17. Taking Action
Taking action is the concluding stage of the inquiry process. It assists students to
consider what they have learnt and encourages them to respond, applying their
new knowledge and skills.
•The ability to identify and investigate different opportunities for action and
participation.
•The ability to consider the consequences, positive and negative, for oneself and for
others of particular actions.
•A willingness to be involved in action to support desirable outcomes.
•A capacity to identify possible barriers to successful participation and ability to
devise strategies to overcome these.
•A willingness and capacity to cooperate with others and to foster, encourage and
value the participation of others.
•A capacity to reflect on and evaluate forms of action, to review progress and to
reconsider forms of action.
18. Taking Action
Action may be personal, based within a local community or as part of a global
community.
Action may be varying levels of involvement:
•To learn more – reading, viewing, talking to others, interviewing experts
•To act more – changing own behaviour, discussing ideas with others, joining groups
of like-minded people, signing petitions, educating others, creating displays, writing
blogs, letters and opinion articles, creating film and drama, making speeches, talking
to decision-makers, advocating change.
•To share more – donating, fundraising, volunteering
19. Civil Society Organisations
There are many types of groups through which people can join together to
pursue shared interests and take action for change.
These include community- and village-based groups, Indigenous groups,
labour unions, cooperatives, charitable and faith-based organisations,
professional associations, chambers of commerce, independent research
institutes and the not-for-profit media.
They vary greatly according to philosophy, purpose, programs, working style,
scope of activities, expertise and structures.

28. Design Your Project
Below are some suggestions to think about when designing an online project.
identify goals and objectives - Identify the skills from your content standards that you want to address in
your project.
•define a timeline - How long do you want your project to last? How often will contact, such as e-mail, be
established with your online partners?
•create a project outline - List the activities that your students will be doing.
•define project activities - How will the students be achieving the goals of the project?
•establish a partner class - Visit websites designed to connect classrooms
•consider real time interactions - Will your class be interacting with their global partners in any real time
activities such as IRC? Will time zones be an issue?
•stimulate deep thinking - Encourage the students to think beyond the text they see on the screen. Help
them move from data to information to insight.
•establish evaluation rubrics or checklists- Show the students the criteria that will be used to evaluate
their work. Some of the rubrics may be developed by the students. [Rubric Builder]
•publish student work - Make the work of your students visible for their partner classes as well as
parents to see.
29. Planning my own project
I’ve chosen an Environmental issue that is close to both heart and
home. It is an issue that I can bring passion to as well as local input.
My project encompasses;
•Global issue – local application
•Local research and support organisations
•Cross-curricula application
30. My focus is on;
Sustainable development
As the world’s population grows, more and more pressure is placed on the
environment to produce enough food and energy without people consuming the
resources faster than they can be replaced. This is known as sustainable development.
Current levels of consumption are likely to lead to an environmental crisis that affects
everyone, although it is the richer countries that have the greatest levels of
consumption.
Pollution
Contamination of air, water and soil can have serious effects on people’s health and
ability to grow food. Identifying and managing the use of harmful chemicals and other
substances to prevent pollution is vital, as is removing hazardous materials from use
and finding alternatives.
Marine and coastal degradation
Disposal of wastes, particularly sewage, directly into oceans has a major effect on
marine and coastal areas. Growth in population, urbanisation, industrialisation and
tourism is increasing the extent of coastal degradation. Protecting marine and coastal
areas from environmental damage is important not only for ecosystems but also for
people living in coastal communities whose livelihoods depend on a healthy
environment.

Editor's Notes
At times you might want to design your own online collaborative project that is tailored to the needs of your classroom and your learning outcomes. In the beginning of your online work with students it is probably easier to connect with one or two classroom teachers than to try to plan a global project inviting many teachers to join. Plan a small project or activity for your first attempt in joining the online educational world with your students. Don't try to handle more than your time allows.
