Communicating the Strategic Plan PPT.pptxErwinGaspar5
Strat Plan
According to Khalid (2020), strategic planning in an educational organization is sometimes views as an ivory tower exercise. While the top management discusses crucial issues impacting the future of the organization, some employees might feel being disconnected. This inability to effectively communicate strategic plans for aligning all employees' actions is a fundamental reason for an organization to lose control during the implementation of many otherwise excellent strategic plans. Difficulties with maintaining effective communication on strategy may include a high need for cross-functional communication across varying levels in the organization; significant time gaps between strategic planning sessions; absence of accountability and planning for communication; and reluctance to share information.
When handled correctly, communications can assist in strategic planning instead of hindering the progress. Some of the tips for effective strategic planning communications include developing a communication plan with clear accountability; and defining and selecting appropriate communication policies. It is the strategic planning team who is responsible and accountable for decisions on communication within the team and across the organization, including the external stakeholders. They often consist the top management and the board members as well as the senior management. In addition, other members of the organization who may be affected directly or indirectly should be informed and have their expectations managed.
Furthermore, a clearly articulated communication policy would guide the organization and its employees in selecting an appropriate approach to communication. The policy might vary widely depending on a particular company's needs. For instance, the strategic planning team may have a policy of communicating on a need-to-know basis. They may also take an approach that greater transparency is useful in motivating employees. Well-informed employees can contribute better. Free flow of information is likely to improve alignment and teamwork. If more communication is considered desirable, then the strategic planning team should be willing to invest in better communication frameworks and platforms.
The rest paper of the focuses on communicating the strategic plan effectively and successfully. Topics on writing the strategic plan, formatting the plan, communication strategy in 13 steps, planning for resistance, the outgoing message, and implementing the strategic plan are comprehensively discussed.
COMMUNICATING THE STRATEGIC PLAN
When implementing a strategic plan, there is one thing some organizations tend to forget.
No matter how good the strategy is, it will not work if the employees do not know how to align with it, or worse, if they simply do not know about it. The internal communication strategy can therefore truly make or break organization’s efforts.

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.

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
