Portfolio of Initiatives: An Institutional Model for Implementing Student Suc...Sukhwant Jhaj
Graduating more students and increasing the quality of their learning are national priorities and Oregon is implementing 40-40-20 to improve student attainment. Due to demographic shifts, institutions must maintain institutional quality and reputation by building capacity to successfully serve an increasing numbers of first-generation and under-represented students. Educational institutions that fail to develop the capacity to serve a diverse student body, with varying ability, will face existential challenges.
Research has shown that institutions can surpass the limits set by institutional resources and students’ backgrounds by engaging students in high quality learning experiences, organized around clearly articulated learning outcomes, supported by high-impact practices, and project redesign using assessment of student learning and program effectiveness.
While there is significant research on factors that have an impact on student success, there are few models that outline how institutions can successfully implement student success initiative. Retention efforts are also distributed across the schools and colleges. This typically results in an institution developing a patchwork of programs, which are not effectively coordinated, where success of one program is negated by the actions of another project on campus, resulting in little or no progress in improving student success.
Case Study: At Portland State University we have implemented a Portfolio-of-Initiatives framework, developed by McKinsey and Company, to develop strategy, and manage implementation. Using a Portfolio-of-Initiatives approach has required us to focus on:
• A disciplined search for a variety of initiatives with the highest possibility of success.
• Rigorous monitoring of projects and sub-projects, with a focus on action.
• Supporting the champions.
• Scaling up successful ideas and projects and winding down unsuccessful projects and changing course when needed.
Portfolio-of Initiatives includes projects that aim to: improve effectiveness of existing academic policies and services; support early identification of students at risk; intentional advising and charting a pathway to degree completion; improve communication; address academic needs of students with a High School GPA below 3.0; address financial concerns; ease transition to college using peer mentoring; improve persistence of Freshmen living in residence halls; make student success data available at unit level; reduce the number of courses with preponderance (20%) of D, W, F grades; manage capacity of programs and course offerings for timely progress to graduation.
Summary: This session will focus on the theory and practice of developing institutional student success initiatives. We will offer Portfolio-of-Initiative implemented at Portland State University as a case study for the participants.

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.

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”.
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.
