Classroom observations and teacher/student questionnaires found that L1 was used occasionally to explain difficult words, concepts, and grammar. Both teachers and students viewed the limited use of L1 as helpful rather than detrimental to learning English. The study concluded that judicious use of L1 can assist the teaching and learning process without reducing English exposure.

Classroom Management Success
Classroom Management Success is a turnkey intervention strategy for establishing and sustaining an orderly environment so students can engage in meaningful academic learning, it also aims to enhance student social and moral growth. Classroom management is a multi-faceted activity. It extends beyond some of the more traditional behavior management techniques frequently recommended to deal with students with disruptive behavior. The aim of Classroom Management Success makes sure that teachers are doing the following:
-develop caring, supportive relationships with and among students;
-organize and implement instruction in ways that optimize students’ access to learning;
-use group management methods that encourage student engagement with academic tasks;
-promote the development of student social skills and self-regulation; and
-use appropriate interventions to assist students who have behavior problems.
This program is based on proven and time tested techniques and principles that have been implemented in the book, “The First Days of School: How to Be an Effective Teacher,” by Harry K. Wong and Rosemary Tripi Wong. Classroom Management Success promotes an orderly learning environment for students. It enhances students’ academic skills and competencies, as well as their social and emotional development. Classroom Management Success principles work across a number of subject areas and grade levels.

Ijtlhe141
This document discusses connecting critical reflection and group development in online adult education classrooms. It summarizes that critical reflection, using Brookfield's Critical Incident Questionnaire, can uncover reactions to the online environment and provide a framework for assessing group development based on Tuckman's model of forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. The study explored this connection in two online graduate courses and found evidence that supported relating critical reflection to group development and its benefits for adult learning in online environments. Critical reflection is valuable for gaining instructor and learner feedback to improve instructional effectiveness.
Critically reflectiveteaching
Brookfield argues that critically reflective teaching requires focusing on a specific incident to uncover assumptions. He suggests using lenses to gain different perspectives, including: 1) reviewing one's experiences as a learner and teacher to see practice from students' views; 2) seeing oneself through students' eyes, which can reveal surprises but requires listening to feedback; 3) fostering critical conversations with colleagues to break isolation and find diversity of experiences; and 4) using theoretical literature to describe practice from multiple perspectives and understand links between personal and political aspects of teaching. These lenses help teachers adopt unfamiliar angles to re-examine practice.
Critically reflective teaching
This document discusses the importance of critical reflection in teaching. It begins by explaining that teaching innocently, without reflecting on assumptions and impact, can lead to frustration and feelings of incompetence when the intended effects are not achieved. Critical reflection helps teachers avoid blaming themselves for issues outside their control. The document then discusses different types of assumptions (paradigmatic, prescriptive, causal) and provides examples of commonly held assumptions in teaching and alternative perspectives that call those assumptions into question. It argues that reflection only becomes critical when it questions how power dynamics influence educational processes and challenges assumptions that may seem to benefit teachers but actually work against student interests over the long term.
Critical teaching reflection
This document summarizes trends and issues related to teaching critical reflection to adults. It discusses differing definitions of reflection and critical reflection. Engaging in critical reflection can be challenging and unsettling for learners as it involves questioning assumptions. Teachers must support learners through this process. The document also provides references on topics like fostering critical reflection, developing critically reflective practitioners, and engaging practitioners in critical analysis.
Ciq
The document is a classroom critical incident questionnaire that asks students to anonymously reflect on a class weekend in 5 questions. It asks them to identify the moment they felt most engaged and distanced, the most affirming and puzzling actions, and anything surprising about their reactions or the class events. The questionnaire aims to get student feedback to help make the class more responsive to their concerns.
Brookfield summary
Stephen Brookfield suggests that critically reflective teachers continually improve their practice through reflection on their experiences from four lenses: autobiographical reflection, student feedback, peer assessment, and scholarly literature. Reflecting on one's teaching experiences and student feedback allows teachers to identify habits that may need adjustment. Peer assessment helps teachers gain confidence by realizing their challenges are shared. Engaging with scholarly literature supports teachers in understanding the broader political context of their work. The most important aspect of critical reflection is going beyond collecting feedback to changing teaching methods and goals based on insights gained, documenting progress, and becoming a more student-centered, flexible, and innovative teacher.
Brookfield
This document provides an overview of resources for becoming a critically reflective teacher, including:
1) Key assumptions of skillful teaching like focusing on helping students learn and constantly reflecting on teaching assumptions.
2) Exercises and techniques to promote critical reflection, such as scenario analysis, crisis simulations, and examining "heroes and villains" in the profession.
3) Guidelines for critical reflection, including modeling reflection, using peers as reflective mirrors, and focusing on specific experiences.
4) An explanation of critical debate as an exercise where participants argue for a position they may not agree with to explore new perspectives.
What we can learn from finland
Finland transformed its education system from one that was poorly ranked and inequitable in the 1970s to the top-ranked system in the world today. Key to Finland's success was investing heavily in teacher education, decentralizing control to give teachers more autonomy over curriculum, and focusing on equity and meeting student needs rather than standardized testing. Finland ensured all students have access to well-trained teachers, funding, resources, small class sizes, and a curriculum focused on developing higher-order thinking skills. This has created a highly equitable and successful education system.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
“I’m still / I’m still / Chaining from the Block”

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
