Nelson Mandela organized the ANC office and led protests against apartheid despite risks of arrest. He continued his fight against apartheid through decades of activism, negotiations, and imprisonment. After his release and election as president, Mandela prioritized reconciliation over retaliation and aimed to unite South Africans of all backgrounds.
Today is a day of remembrance; a great world leader has passed on to another realm. The Hero of South Africa and 27 year political prisoner Nelson Mandela has passed at 95 years old.
Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do. Mandela sums up the greatest life lesson – persistence.

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.

MATATAG CURRICULUM: ASSESSING THE READINESS OF ELEM. PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS I...NelTorrente
In this research, it concludes that while the readiness of teachers in Caloocan City to implement the MATATAG Curriculum is generally positive, targeted efforts in professional development, resource distribution, support networks, and comprehensive preparation can address the existing gaps and ensure successful curriculum implementation.
2. Courage Timeline Mandela organized ANC (African National Congress) office in Johannesburg even though he could get arrested. Becomes ANCYL (ANC Youth League) Defiance Campaign leader despite that it made him a target for authorities. Mandela was arrested and saw how horrible jail was, but he still marched on even with the risk of going back to jail . In college, even after warned he would be expelled, Nelson refused to participate in the student council. A new law said that purposeful law breaking could be 3 years in jail and whipping, but Mandela continued to protest and fight apartheid.
3. Courage Timeline There was a new death penalty for high treason, but Mandela still went ahead with his plans to change the government . Mandela was still working with the ANC even though it was illegal and he knew the government was ruthless. During the Rivonia Trial, Mandela accepted that he was going to be punished and he fought against apartheid rather than for himself. In prison, Mandela protested for better conditions even though the guards were brutal and beatings were common. Mandela decides to negotiate with the government despite the fact he knew his ANC friends would be furious. After Nelson Mandela was elected president he didn’ t look back and punish people who had hurt him and others. He looked forward and tried to make peace.
4. Unselfish In 1989, F.W. de Klerk became president, and Mandela now felt he had a large influence on the government. However, he did not ask to be set free. The first thing that he did was ask for other political prisoners to be set free including his friends Sisulu and Kathrada. The government did give freedom to the prisoners. Even when de Klerk informed Mandela that he would be released the very next day, Mandela did not think of himself and his new freedom. Instead, he was distressed that he didn’ t have a chance to say good-bye to the staff at his prison. Mandela is released from prison
5. Persuasive/Communicator In prison, he talked young activists out of using violence to fight apartheid. Mandela used his charm and reason to help the young activists move over to his view of non-violence. His skills of persuasion didn’t just affect the prisoners, it also affected the guards. When Mandela first got to the prison he demanded to speak with the prison head on the issue of short pants given to black prisoners. Mandela argued his case for two weeks and only he was given long pants. However, he wanted all black prisoners to have long pants and continued negoiating until everyone had them. Another place where Mandela used his communication skills was when he spoke before 10,000 people before the Defiance Campaign. Mandela got a standing ovation.
6. Patient Mandela and F.W. de Klerk One example of Mandela’s patience was when he was in prison. Trying to change the minds of the young activists was a long process. He had to charm them and then slowly change their minds. These experiences taught him to be more patient. This would help him in his long negotiations with the government. Mandela started his secret talks with the government in 1985. The government and Mandela did not get a deal done until around 1993. So Mandela patiently negotiated with the government for about 8 years in order to get a deal done. One other place that Mandela displayed he was patient was his whole life. Nelson Mandela waited nearly 50 for apartheid to end!
7. Ambitious Almost all his life, Mandela was ambitious. It wasn’t for himself, but for everyone. His life ambition was to destroy apartheid. He fought it for almost 50 years. Another place Mandela showed his hope of defeating apartheid was when he created the African National Congress Youth League or the ANCYL. He created the Youth League in hope of turning the ANC (African National Congress) into a party of mass protest against apartheid. A third example of Mandela being ambitious was after apartheid was over and Mandela was elected president. At that time his ambition was to unite all of South Africa. One way he did this was rooting for the Springboks, a South Africa Rugby team that was disliked by most black people.
8. Hero Button If I had to award Nelson Mandela with a medal and a slogan, I would choose the Nobel Peace Prize. Mandela actually won this award in 1993 in part with F.W. de Klerk. I think this prize suits Mandela because he fought apartheid for so long peacefully. He only resorted to violence when he thought there was no other choice. Also, after his presidency, he worked for peace in other nations. He traveled to other countries in war and spoke to leaders about peace. I chose the slogan “all men are created equal” because nearly all his life, Mandela has been fighting for all people to have equal rights in South Africa. During negotiations with the government, the idea of group rights came up. Mandela rejected this idea and said that all people should have the same rights no matter their skin color.
9. Room Design The outdoor scene is Qunu, where Nelson Mandela was born. I chose Qunu as Mandela’s perfect place because it was a fondly remembered part of Mandela’s life. In his 27 years in prison, he looked back and remembered happily his time in Qunu with his family. Also, when he retired in 1999, he returned to Qunu. I also chose to put a gateway saying “All are welcome”. To me it represents that all people are welcome no matter what the race or skin color. I think this represents a lot of Mandela’s work. He fought for all people to have the same rights. When he was fighting apartheid he worked with people of other races unlike some other activists. Also when he was president, he tried to unite the white and black Africans. I think Mandela would have loved a place where everyone is welcome.
10. Freedom Cafe Appetizers Mandela Mozzarella Sticks Non-Violence Nachos Almost all his life, Mandela believed in non- violence. He only went to violence as a last resort. Enjoy these great nachos piled high that aren’t violent at all. Enjoy these delicious mozzarella sticks named after South Africa’s courageous hero, Nelson Mandela . ANC Cheese Fries ANC was the foundation that Mandela represented. You’ll love these fries as much as Mandela loved the ANC.
11. Freedom Cafe Entrees Robben Island Rigatoni Mandela spent about 24 years on Robben Island in prison. It played a very big part in Mandela’s life. And this great dish is named after that infamous island. Peace Pizza During his life, Mandela urged peace again and again. After he was president, he promoted peace throughout the world. Enjoy this delicious pizza to celebrate Mandela’s peace efforts. Bravery Burgers Countless times in his life, Mandela was brave. He risked going to jail or even dying. That’s why we named this yummy burger, the Bravery Burger.
12. Freedom Cafe Desserts Anti-Apartheid Apple Pie For nearly half his life, Mandela fought apartheid. It was a long struggle he finally won. Finish off your meal with delight that honors Mandela's fight against apartheid Rolihlahla Rhubarb Pie Rolihlahla is Mandela’s birth name. Rolihlahla means tree shaker or troublemaker. You’ll love this pie that goes back to Mandela’s childhood. Courage Cake Throughout his life, Nelson Mandela displayed personal courage many, many times.
