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.
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”.
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.

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. How Well Do You Predict?
1. How many slides will this
presentation have?
2. What are three words that
will be mentioned in this
presentation?
(Predict doesn’t count!)

3. What Are Predictions?
“Predictions are the connecting
links between prior knowledge
and new information in the
book. It’s the interaction of
these processes that
coalesce—much like sparks
firing before the bright flame
ignites. . .”
-Gillett and Temple, 1990
3
4. What does it mean to predict?
You use your prior knowledge and
the text to set up expectations of
what will happen or what information
the text will contain.
You use your knowledge of the
vocabulary, concept, text
organization author or other
connections.
You monitor your predictions as you
read and adjust or confirm them as
needed to better understand the text.
4
5. Why Learn the strategy
of Predicting?
“When students make
predictions, their understanding
increases, and they are more
interested in the reading
material.”
“Students use their background
knowledge as well as clues from
the text . . . to predict and
anticipate or logically ‘guess’
what the text will be about.”
-Fielding, Anderson, Pearson, 1990
5
6. Predicting. . .
helps accesses your knowledge
of a topic, concept, text
structures and text
sets a purpose for reading
provides motivation—you read to
confirm or contradict responses
6
7. Readers sometimes
struggle because . . .
they don’t predict what the selection
might be about.
they don’t think about what they
already know about a topic.
they don’t form images as they read.
“They open a book, look at words,
and begin turning pages.” -Beers
7
8. How Does Predicting Help?
Predicting helps you set a purpose for
reading and anticipate what you will read.
Making and reviewing predictions helps
you interact with the text.
Predictions help connect your prior
knowledge with the information being
learned.
8
9. How Does Predicting Help?
Predictions help you develop mental
models that you can use whenever you
read.
Mental models help you remember what
you’ve read.
Predicting helps you pay attention to the
sequence of events in fiction.
By supporting your predictions with
evidence from the text, you develop
critical thinking skills and improve
comprehension.
9
10. Predicting is Brain--
Compatible Learning
It’s harder to learn material if it doesn’t
grab your attention.
Readers need an emotional
hook for learning which
connects to their memory.
The “game” of guessing creates
novelty and engages the reader.
10
11. The Brain Loves Predicting
The brain seeks meaning by
organizing words, numbers and ideas
into meaningful patterns.
Humans naturally look for the
“pattern” and want to fill in missing
pieces.
11
12. Types of Predictions
“I predict that Karana will kill the dog
that attacked her brother.”
“If I bought 5 items at Target, I
estimate the price will be about
$25.00.”
“My hypothesis is that combining pure
sodium and water will create an
explosion.”
“As I listen to this symphony, I guess
that the tempo of the of the second
movement will be faster.”

13. Survey of Narrative Text (Fiction)
Strategic readers preview:
the book cover
the title and chapter headings
pictures and captions
italicized or bold-faced words
the first few paragraphs
(introduction)
13
14. Narrative Text
• What type of genre will it be?
• What will be the setting?
• Who will be the characters?
• What will be the problem?
• How will the problem be solved?
Look at this • What dialogue will you expect to
picture . . . hear?
• What organization will the text
have?
14
15. Survey of Expository Text -
(Nonfiction)
Strategic readers look through the chapter
to be read.
They look at:
headings & subheadings
key words
illustrations and captions
charts, graphs, tables, diagrams
introductory paragraphs
end of chapter questions
15
16. Expository Text
What major topics will be
covered?
What vocabulary will be used?
How will the text be organized?
Specialized predictions such as in
math: What operations can you
expect to use in this word
problem? Why?
16
17. When Students. . .
“Glance over text, they predict what
they’ll see. They look for familiar
words or topics which trigger
thoughts from background
knowledge and establish a
purpose.”
- Cairo
17
19. Good readers support their
predictions with evidence from
the text
It’s not enough just to make
a guess.
Proving a prediction to be
true calls for careful reading
of the text.
How can you support your
predictions and prove
they’re true?
19
20. Good readers adjust the
predictions they’ve made as they
gain new knowledge
Strategic readers may record whether
the predictions they made were
confirmed or disproved by pointing
to evidence from the text.
Predictions are:
Confirmed
Changed
