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

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.

2. “Soil erosion is defined as the removal
of soil from the land surface through
three major pathways: tillage, water
and wind.
Water erosion occurs mainly when
overland flow transports soil particles
detached by drop impact or runoff, often
leading to clearly defined channels such
as rills or gullies.
Wind erosion occurs when dry, loose,
bare soil is subjected to strong winds and
soil particles are detached from the soil
surface and transported elsewhere.
Tillage erosion is the direct down-slope
movement of soil by tillage implements
and results in soil redistribution within a
field.”
5. 2.3.3 Proposals for further
global symposiums in 2019
and 2020
“The PA agreed with the
proposals to organize further
Global Symposiums …
Therefore, it was agreed to
organize the symposium on
“Soil Erosion” in 2019, on “Soil
Biodiversity” in 2020 and on
“Sustainable soil management
for nutrition‐sensitive
agriculture (soil fertility)” in
2021. …”
7. Broad objectives
• A critical step toward implementing the VGSSM in
terms of minimizing the soil erosion risk.
• To bring science and policy together to review the
status and challenges of soil erosion control.
• Highlight and discuss the link between soil erosion
control and the achievement of the SDGs
concrete examples of effective and ineffective SSM practices, techniques,
instruments and mechanisms, which would ultimately expose challenges such
as scientific, technological and legislative gaps, will be provided
8. 1. Identify options to consolidate, generate and harmonize soil erosion
data and assessment tools for promoting their use in decision making at
all levels;
2. Review and discuss existing national and international policies,
agreements and frameworks addressing soil erosion prevention,
management and remediation in order to assess their effectiveness and
propose ways to improve them;
3. Critically reflect on the economics of soil erosion paying attention to
which SSM practices are cost effective and which others not and why,
investigating options for measures that do not give a short/medium
term financial benefit.
4. Advocate for an agenda for action to prevent, mitigate and monitor soil
erosion
Specific objectives
9. The symposia organized by the
GSP are action oriented!!
Symposia outputs are translated into
concreate actions to implement under the
framework of the Global Soil Partnership
10. Symposium’s outcomes should provide scientific
and policy evidence to support decisions and
actions to minimize soil erosion for increased food
security, ecosystem services, and promote the
restoration of eroded sites.
11. The Symposium output will
be an outcome document
highlighting the scientific
evidence on the status of
soil erosion, its impacts and
an agenda for action in the
framework of achieving the
SDGs.
12. The document will also
provide recommendations for
developing sound
environmental policies and
programmes to encourage the
use of sustainable soil erosion
control practices
13. Theme 1: Use of data and assessment
tools in soil erosion control
This Theme will discuss ways to consolidate soil erosion
data and assessment tools for the purpose of promoting
their use in decision making at all levels. The baseline for
developing a global soil erosion map will be discussed.
14. 1. Is there still a gap on available and reliable methods/models for
assessing/mapping soil erosion?
2. What soil erosion assessment data and decision-making tools for soil
erosion control are available and how can these be improved keeping
into consideration the issue of inconsistencies in methods and
uncertainties in results?
3. Is there a need for global assessment of soil erosion that can be the basis
for a monitoring system?
4. Are dedicated information such as maps and reports concretely used in
controlling soil erosion?
Theme 1: Use of data and assessment
tools in soil erosion control
Core questions:
15. Theme 1: Use of data and assessment
tools in soil erosion control
Follow-up actions:
- Development of a Global Soil Erosion map
- What else, please suggest?
16. Theme 2: Policy in action to address soil
erosion
This Theme aims to review and
discuss environmental policies with a
focus on soil erosion prevention,
management and remediation: what
is missing and what can be done to assist governments in
improving and/or developing their national policies? The
Theme will also look into lessons learnt and the contribution
that policy development and implementation could give to the
achievement of the SDGs.
17. Theme 2: Policy in action to address
soil erosion
3. Are the trans-national impacts of soil erosion taken into
consideration in national policy development?
4. To what degree can the control of soil erosion help achieve
the SDGs?
Core questions:
1. Is soil erosion still an issue impeding sustainable
development? If so, why?
2. Are government policies and programmes
effective in advancing the implementation of soil erosion control
practices by farmers and land managers? What limits the adoption
of these practices by farmers and land managers? What strategies
can be employed to improve adoption of these practices?
18. Follow-up actions:
- Development of an online platform for
national soil policy information sharing
- What else, please suggest?
Theme 2: Policy in action to address
soil erosion
19. Theme 3: The economics of soil erosion
control and restoration of eroded land
This Theme links to investment and,
more specifically, it aims at showing
which SSM practices paid back and
which others not and why.
20. Theme 3: The economics of soil erosion
control and restoration of eroded land
Core questions:
1. What are the associated costs of soil erosion for agriculture and development? What
are the direct costs in lost crop production, the indirect costs of greater input use, and
the off-site costs to the environment?
2. Are the costs of implementing soil erosion control practices offset by current and
future benefits of more or more profitable production?
3. What technologies and innovations exist to decrease the costs of implementing soil
erosion control practices compared to that of conventional soil management?
4. Could society compensate farmers for the public benefits (ecosystem services) from
the implementation of soil erosion control practices?
21. Follow-up actions:
- Writing of a booklet collecting successful and
unsuccessful case studies on the practice of
SSM
- What else, please suggest?
