This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.
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.

Andreas Schleicher presents at the OECD webinar ‘Digital devices in schools: detrimental distraction or secret to success?’ on 27 May 2024. The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
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”.

2. Traditional Definition!
Literacy the ability to read and write.
Now Literacy Definition!
Literacy is considered a tool, to use in the
technological society of the 21st century.
New Literacies Kress (2003) and Kist (2005)
3. Research-based Practices
consist of:
Getting to Know Your Literacy
Learners PreK-3rd
Assessments
Cognitive-Students’ skill level
Non Cognitive-Student’s Motivation
Interacting with Parents
Culture
Building Background knowledge
5. Cognitive Assessment Non Cognitive Assessment
Curriculum Based
Measurement (RTI)
www.easycbm.com
Running Records (IRA,
2006)
Reading Inventories
Brigance
Comprehension Skill
Assessment
Mastery Test in Reading
Teacher-made Test
Interest Surveys
Interest Inventories
Observations
Students’ Interviews
finding what
motivates them
6. I have learned that assessment tools are very
helpful in getting to know your students
(Literacy Learners)
Cognitive Assessment helps to locate your
students skill level
NonCognitive Assessment helps to identify
your student’s reading interest and
determine what motivates them to read
(Afflerbach,2007)
7. I have learned that there are great benefits
in interacting with the parents about your
literacy learner
Culture
Background Knowledge
This was very insightful because I learned that
parents can give teachers information about
their child’s culture and we as educator’s can
create an environment welcoming diversity
through text and books in the classroom
8. I learned that all text can be analyzed on a Literacy
Matrix, which helps teachers balance the text they select
to be a part of their literate environment. (Laureate
Education, 2010)
Literacy Matrix- Linguistic, Informational, Narrative and
Semiotic
Defined:
Semiotic- text with more pictures or only picture
Linguistic- text with words no pictures or few
Narrative-text that is fictional and nonfictional
Read Alouds
Informational-text that provides information
(Non-Fiction)
11. I also learned that there are 4 additional important
things to consider when selecting text.
Length
Font Size
Structure
Readability
12. In my research-based practices in
delivering literacy instruction
there are 3 perspectives to
implement in the literacy lesson
planning.
3 Perspectives Defined:
Interactive Perspective- teaching students to read and
write
Critical Perspective-evaluating, examining and
thinking critically about the text . Think about who
created the text and think behind the text
Response Perspective- read, reacting to the text. The
student engages with the text
13. Interactive Perspective
5 Pillars of Essential Skills to develop literacy
Phonemic Awareness
Phonics
Vocabulary
Fluency
Comprehension (NRP, 2001)
Examples:
Concept of print
Letters and Sound
Read Aloud
Making a Connection with the text
Vocabulary Development
Background Knowledge
14. Critical Perspective
Evaluate the Text
Examine the Text
Judge the Text
(Tompkins, 2010)
I have learned that I want my students to learn how to
think critically about the text. I also learned that it is
important to teach the students strategies to learn how to
think critically about the text. This is a higher-ordered
thinking skill developed in literacy instruction
(Tompkins, 2010)
15. Response Perspective
read
reacting
responding to the text
The student engages with the text
Examples:
Infer
to make a connection with the text
discuss the text
give the students time to respond to the text
16. Cont’d Response Perspective
I learned that this perspective is crucial in learning
the text. The students are able to share their
thoughts and feelings about the text
I also learned that a some text requires a Quiet
response because the text is more emotional at
different parts and no words are needed. We need
to give our students that time… to respond quietly
For Example-Charlotte’s Web
17. How beneficial has this presentation been to you in learning about Literacy
Instruction?
It informed me what literacy was and now what it is Now. It gave a clear
understanding of the different areas of Literacy and how to help the adult as
well as the child combat their struggles and impact their lives in literacy .
It helps the reader to understand how important literacy is
What was some meaningful information that you would implement in your
literacy instructional classroom?
I would implement the Literacy Matrix and 3 Literacy Perspectives
(Interactive, Critical and Response) in my literacy instructional classroom
After reading this how can I be a support with literacy in your class or with your
children?
Help my child have a clear understanding of reading and writing. Do an
assessment on my child so, I will know their skill level; Incorporate additional
books, reading materials and technology resources for their reading level to
work at home.
