Project TAPESTRY is a student-centered mentoring program aimed at increasing high school graduation rates and decreasing dropout rates. It provides individual student advocates who work with at-risk students to develop a success plan, provide various supports, and facilitate student ownership in the process. Student advocates identify at-risk students based on behavioral, academic, and cognitive indicators exhibited at school. They work closely with school staff to support students and help them create educational pathways to career and lifelong learning. The program focuses on building relationships through a positive student-centered approach.

Managing the classroom while teaching small groupssherrick10
For the 2012-13 school year, one of my professional development goals is to create self-regulated learners so I can intervene and be proactive with my struggling learners. Creating this PowerPoint presentation encouraged me to process gathered information regarding managing the classroom while teaching small groups.
Believing in students is one of the most powerful change agents in schools. Getting students to believe in themselves occurs when we show students we believe in them, listen to our students, earn our students’ trust, value what students value, give students a voice, and celebrate what students do right. This session will share how a staff can work together to put their students first and establish a model culture with a personalized environment where every student is known, feels valued, and achieves!

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
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.

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.
2. Ma·nip·u·late
• to manage or influence skillfully, especially in an
unfair manner
• to adapt or change (accounts, figures, etc.) to
suit one's purpose or advantage.
3. Project TAPESTRY
A Student-centered approach to
mentoring, advocacy, and increased school
engagement facilitating increased highschool graduation rates and decreased dropout rates.
4. Program Objectives
• Increase high school graduation rates at participating
high schools
• Develop articulated support for students returning to
school after separation
(suspension, expulsion, alternative placement, etc.)
• Assist students in creating educational pathways for
career and life-long learning
• Implement a strength-based model developing youth
social-emotional competencies
5. Student-Centered Approach
• The “student-centered” approach
provides students a voice in how they are
supported and facilitates their ownership
in the process
• Student advocates provide a variety of
supports for students relative to the
alterable indicators of risk
• Data provided by schools and students
drive the decision making process
throughout program participation
7. How do Project TAPESTRY teams
identify which students are at risk?
• The distinction must be made between status
(unalterable) and alterable risk factors.
• The following are alterable risk factors:
• Behavioral Indicators:
absenteeism, truancy, referrals, detentions, in or
out-of-school suspensions, limited extracurricular
engagement
• Academic Indicators: credit deficiency, class
failures, poor task completion, incomplete daily
work, below proficiency scores on standardized
assessments
• Cognitive Indicators: minimal interest in
school, resistance to learning, low sense of
self-efficacy, perceived lack of competence
• Affective Indicators: low expectations of
graduation, social isolation, sense of not belonging in
school community
• TAPESTRY advocates work closely with school
support staff and administrators to identify
students exhibiting some or all of the above risk
factors

10. Challenges
• Who is the “hammer” in your district? Program?
• What causes a “tornado” in your district?
Program?
• Do you feel like you are constantly jumping
through hoops?
• Do you feel like a puppet?
• “Captain, oh, Captain” – Who’s in charge of your
raft, boat, yacht, ship….?
11. Opportunities
•
•
•
•
Opening a new door…..
Walking a tightrope……
Feeling like Sisyphus…….
One door leads to another and another and
another…..
14. What to do:
• Email the students
teachers, often.
• (ask permission) Go sit in
classes and watch how
your students interact in
the classroom (this will
take a few times, because
you are the new object in
the room for a while).
• Email updates (good and
bad) to
counselors, teachers, dean
s…anyone you think
would benefit from the
info.
• Call home for the
good, not just the bad
15. Positive Modeling
• Be consistent!
• Hold yourself and the
student accountable
• Value what you say
16. Expectations
• We look different to the
students, we are more
accessible and we play a
different role than others in
the building.
• We still maintain high
expectations of the
students, and sometimes that
is difficult, as we have such a
close relationship.
• Our students can sometimes
see us as friends, more so than
what we really are.
17. Behavior Modification and Decision Making
“The definition of insanity is to do
the exact same thing over and over
again, but expect different results.”
18. B. F. Skinner and Operant Conditioning
What happens right before (antecedents) and
what happens right after (consequences) a
behavior affects the likelihood of that
behavior happening again.
20. Positive Reinforcement vs. Negative Consequences
*If a behavior is positively reinforced, it is more likely to be repeated.
*If a behavior has a consequence or punisher, it is much less likely to be
repeated.
Examples:
Homework completion (positive)- if we gave our students $5 every time
they completed an assignment, they are much more likely to complete
more homework assignments.
Being late to class (negative)- if our students are late to our class, we
have them write a paragraph on why they were late and how they can
get to class in a more timely manner. They then need to read the
paragraph out loud to the class or at least to the teacher.
21. How does the need for recognition play a
role?
Do they get enough recognition at home from their family?
Are they seeking peer approval or acceptance?
The more trouble they get into, the more recognition they get, both
positive and negative.
Example: if we are working with a student who assumes the role
of leader among his friends and enjoys a little thrill seeking, we are
going to encourage that the student uses the positive qualities of
being a leader correctly, not negatively. We will encourage that
he/she gets involved in student council, sports or clubs in school,
or volunteers at a place of interest. We will also work with the
student to discover ways they can get the same rush from these thrill
seeking behaviors without compromising their self or others. We would encourage
intramural sports for healthy competition, workout, listen to music, learn a new hobby
such as skateboarding, face their fears, go to a rock climbing gym, etc...
