This document discusses how childhood has been defined and represented through images over time. It explores how images from different eras portray children as objects, learners, victims, deviants, and consumers. The document questions who creates these images, for what audiences, and how they might shape societal views of children. It raises issues around whether images can discriminate and the messages they send about topics like work, violence, and roles of infants versus teenagers. The final quote advocates for changing environments and structures to allow children's competence to emerge.
The social construction of reality and childhood. Emphasis upon the social construction of child abuse and child concern with examples from international perspectives corporal punishment and participatory research into 'the voice of the child' with reference to their wishes and feelings regarding being 'smacked'.

our adolescence education programme........
this one was for boyz,i will put the presentation for girlz also
our dear youngsters need to be guided...........after my talk got 100 plus questions .........the young mind is confused and needs to be guided
A truly emergent curriculum is driven by the interests and developing skills of the children. Although it is typically well understood in concept, it can be challenging to implement – particularly due to dependency on theme-based lesson plans. This workshop will discuss the importance of an emergent curriculum, why it works so well, and best practices for implementation.
Lecture focusses on social change through storytelling and behavioural nudges; Moral values are essential for the development of a good society; Education is vital for the same.
A presentation I created for a Human Behavior in the Social Environment course at Radford University on several key ideas of adolescents. Feedback is appreciated.
This presentation provides a brief overview of early brain development with links made to early years practice. Questions are included to help practitioners reflect on their role in helping to positively influence early brain development.

1.1 Organization of Children's Journeys: Exploring Early Childhood
You and I are grown up; we're not scared of things under the bed, are we? Unlike little children, we know there's nothing there. We can look all we want and nothing will eat us. You can't fool us just by projecting your voice. We recognize lies and we know that magic isn't real. Don't we?
Little children don't know these things. Part of growing up is learning them—learning what to expect, becoming familiar with what's out there, sorting fact from fancy, reality from wishes, tears from laughter.
Describing differences among infants and children, and explaining how these differences come about, is mostly what this text is about.
Children's Journeys is divided into three parts. Part One is a four-chapter introduction. Chapter 1 is, in a sense, about maps and guides. It explains what developmental psychology is and how psychologists study children. Chapter 2 introduces the mapmakers—those who developed the theories that guide our attempts to understand developmental change. Chapter 3 looks at the many paths the human journey makes possible: It deals with our genetic origins and with the influence of environmental context. Chapter 4 puts our subject, the developing child, on the road: It looks at systematic changes that occur from conception through birth and at important influences on the unborn child. Parts Two and Three look at physical, intellectual (cognitive), social, and emotional changes and processes during infancy1 (birth to age 2) and early childhood (ages 2 to 7 or 8).
1 Boldfaced terms are defined in the glossary at the end of the book.
Historical and Current Views of Childhood
Strange as it may seem to us, childhood as we generally understand it is not a universal phenomenon. What is universal is the fact that in all cultures infants are born at similar levels of biological immaturity. Also, patterns of biological maturation—such as learning to walk—are highly similar in all social groups.
But the experience of being a child can vary dramatically in different social contexts, as shown by studies in ethnography (studies of different cultures). For example, in the box Across Cultures: Mari: A Mayan Child: Liam, A North American Child, we see how Mari's life is unlike the lives of most children in the industrialized world. Much of the reason for this difference, explains Gaskins (1999), is that this Mayan society has different views of childhood. Among other things, these Mayans believe that adult work activities are so important that all childhood activities must be structured around them. Play is given little importance, and parents spend little time speaking with their children other than to admonish them or give them directions. This is in sharp contrast with the predominant North American view that emphasizes and caters to the child's wishes and interests, and that stresses the importance of play and of verbal and social interaction.
It is partly because the e ...
Everything That's Wrong With Kids These Days (Or: Reframing Children's Problems)Daniel Bigler
This is quite possibly a very vague presentation (prepared for my Sociology of Children class) without the luxurious sound of my voice accompanying it. I should work on that.
The follow-up to "What's Wrong With Kids These Days" — this one, especially, will probably make no sense if you weren't in my class. Sorry! (Hopefully I'll record audio for it one day.)
Exploring different theories of childhood – from the foundational theories of behaviorism and socialization; to later developments like the social learning and interactionist perspectives; and finally to recent innovative theories & perspectives like interpretive reproduction, the ecological approach, and structural and critical perspectives.
In each, we examine the social scientists and theorists behind the theory, its focus (either micro or macro, or the connections between them), its key thoughts about children, and some of the assumptions that underpin the theory.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.
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

wicked ... because wanting
the free use of reason they
are exempted from all duty."

teach him to do without things. Children
today love luxury too much. They have
execrable manners, flaunt authority, have
no respect for their elders. They no longer

the room. What kind of awful creatures will
they be when they grow up?"

distinguishes the child from the adult. In
medieval society this awareness was lacking.
