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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
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

Integrating Academics and CTE for College-Prep
1. Integrating Academics and CTE
for College-Prep
Deborah McCaskey, UCCI Communications Coordinator
University of California | Office of the President
2. UC and high school courses
UC plays a role in setting uniform academic standards for
California high school curriculum
High schools submit courses for UC approval
High school course lists are published online, and
updated yearly
15-course pattern leading to UC and CSU eligibility for
freshman admission
3. UC’s involvement in CTE
The challenge: Keep students in school and engaged in
learning
High schools that offer strong academics and demanding career
technical education equip students with skills that prepare them for
both college and career
Students on the college-prep track have little room in their
schedules for CTE courses
With CTE courses that are UC-approved – that is, integrated
curriculum – students can explore careers and fulfill college-prep
requirements at the same time
4. What UCCI Institutes do
Our goal is to facilitate the creation of new integrated
curriculum in core academic subjects that need more
courses: math, English and history
CTE and academic teachers collaborate in teams
UCCI course frameworks are created over the four days of the
Institutes
New courses place rigorous academics within the context of real-
world, applied learning and are designed to meet UC “a-g”
criteria
5. What’s it like at an Institute?
https://vimeo.com/ucciinstitutes/videos
6. Highlights of UCCI courses
Spanish for the Entrepreneurial Mind allows students to
develop third-year Spanish language knowledge and
skills within the context of careers in Marketing
Literacy, Advocacy and Public Service lets students hone
their reading, writing, speaking and presentation skills as
they explore the impact of the Social Services field in
their community, state and country
Geometry by Design! takes a project-based learning
approach, developing students’ understanding of
geometry through woodworking projects in a Building
Trades & Construction pathway
7. Impact and outcomes
Since 2010, UCCI has hosted 10 Institutes involving
more than 400 California educators
UC has approved 23 courses developed at UCCI, with
more in the pipeline
UCCI courses are being taught in 46 schools and ROPS
all over California
8. UCCI Courses throughout CA
UCCI courses are being taught
at schools all over California.
This map shows where the
schools are, and each pin is
linked to the course outline
and the school’s contact
information.
9. Program-status courses
Once approved, courses developed at the Institutes are
added to the UCCI course list.
UCCI courses have program status – like AP or ROP
courses, they can be added to school course lists without
further review by UC
This especially benefits schools that do not have the
resources to develop their own curriculum
10. Beyond the Institutes
During the past fiscal year, UCCI was able to offer,
through the UCCI Pathways Grant program:
12 mini-grants awarded to qualifying schools and districts
12 more schools offering UCCI courses, plus adding 24
more “a-g” courses that can serve as models for other
schools that want to implement Linked Learning
11. UCCI is possible because …
UCCI is funded entirely by grants administered by the
California Department of Education, our partner agency.
This funding covers:
Staff salaries – UCCI has a staff of five
Participant expenses – registration, meals and lodging
(though not travel), a $550 stipend and 2.5 Continuing
Education credits through the Education Department of
UCLA Extension
School expenses – $250 to help schools and districts
defray costs of hiring substitute teachers while their
teachers are at the Institute
