The document discusses the masculinity of different sports and whether some sports are more masculine than others. It notes that some sports like football and rugby are generally seen as more aggressive and masculine, but questions whether all sports should be considered equally masculine. The document has no clear conclusion but raises the topic of gender perceptions of different sports for discussion.

Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA) Board Of Directors (BOD) Meeting Agenda for March 16, 2015 9:30 a.m., at VVTA Board Room, 17150 Smoketree Street, Hesperia, California 92345.
Topic of this short talk: team / group dynamics. The point is that you need to be aware of any dynamics happening in your team / group.
Contents of the presentation:
Slide 1: Intro video (ants)
Slide 2: Teamwork
Teamwork is the corner stone of any successful undertaking.
Teamwork is an individual skill.
The purpose of this talk is to make you aware of the importance of team dynamics.
We will look at some examples, and how we can explore team dynamics.
Slide 3: How does a high-performing team look like?
Diverse members
Diversity of viewpoints, opinions
Open and clear communication
Managing conflict
Clear objectives
Trust
Participative leadership
Positive atmosphere
Engagement
Slide 4: Putting a group of people together does not make a team.
Slide 5: Model of group/team development: Tuckman (1965)
Note: the different phases of growing as a team are necessary to become “performing”
Slide 6: Belbin team roles (1981)
9 team roles: an effective team has members that cover the 9 key roles in managing the team
Slide 7: Communication inside the team is a key indicator of whether they are performing or not. The quality of communication in the team will also directly affect the communication with the stakeholders.
Slide 8: One bad apple can cause rot in the entire cart by altering the behaviour of everyone.
examples: the passive-aggressive group eroder, the blunt/rude dominant, the controller, the slacker, the anti-establishment guy, the divide-and-conquer schemer, the arrogant fat head
Slide 9: Groupthink, a term coined by social psychologist Irving Janis (1972), occurs when a group makes faulty decisions because group pressures lead to a deterioration of “mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgment”.
Groups affected by groupthink ignore alternatives and tend to take irrational actions that dehumanise other groups. A group is especially vulnerable to groupthink when its members are similar in background, when the group is insulated from outside opinions, and when there are no clear rules for decision making.

Slide 10: How to explore team dynamics?
Listen to the way team members are communicating
Observe behaviours: can you recognise certain team roles? Who has an introvert personality, who’s extrovert?

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.

Doyou need to be masculine to play sports in America? The answer has typically been yes, but that answer is changing. Since the Title IX program was adopted in 1972, women have had more opportunities than ever before to compete with men in sports. According to a thesis written by Joseph G. Boyle entitled, “Organized Sports Participants, Masculinity and Attitudes toward Women”, attitudes toward the acceptance of women in major sports has definitely improved. When athletes violate the stereotypes that are associated with roles that are preconceived, they are considered to be atypical or “other than normal/ however, stereotypes do still exist — especially in areas such as sports. When people violate the stereotypes associated with preconceived roles, they are considered to be atypical or not normal. Researcher found that because of this added conflict, female athletes show a higher amount of role conflict than male athletes. Conflict was also found to be more prevalent for female athletes participating in traditionally masculine sports such as baseball, football, soccer, hockey, and basketball. A recent study examined perceptions of gender roles based upon participation in different sports, as well as looking into the effects that gender and athletic identity seem to have on the perceptions of these athletes. The results found that female athletes competing in sports viewed as masculine were rated as less likeable than those competing in feminine sports. Male participants also rated female athletes competing in masculine sports as less respectable than those competing in feminine sports.Page 2Over the past several decades the role of females in modern society has expanded and changed dramatically. Sports are not merely about the game. It is rather, about the identities of those who play and watch the game. It’s about what gets established and reinforced every time sex-segregated formulas cast males as categorically superior to females. Sports matter – and probably far more than they should. Many more people tune into the Super Bowl than the president’s State of the Union address. Gender equality in sports has come a long way, but it still has a long way to go. To make things more competitive and reduce the significance of masculinity in sports in America, the playing field should be leveled. If a male youth plays eighteen holes in a golf tournament, then a girl youth should be required to play the same number of holes. If a men’s tennis match is five sets to win, then a women’s sets to win should be 5 (currently 3). In golf women should not tee off closer to the hole, they should play from the men’s tee and play 18 holes. In boxing, the women’s rounds should be the same as the men’s (now it is shorter) and finally, in basketball, the women should shoot a three point shot from the same line as the men. Men may be stronger physically, but women are stronger mentally so that should even the playing field for their being no reason for masculinity in sports.
