Common Core, ELLs, and the Changing Role of ESL EducatorsJohn Segota
The development of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) presents a new educational paradigm in United States education policy. However, many questions remain about the impact upon English learners. Moreover, ESL educators have too often not been at the table in regards to CCSS implementation. This presentation will examine the changing role of ESL educators in this new era, and discuss how the CCSS presents opportunities for ESL-trained specialists. - Presentation at the 2015 NCTE annual conference.

Preparation and Evaluation of Instructional MaterialsFrederick Obniala
This course is designed for students to develop instructional materials. It will provide the context and focus for the materials. Identify the basic principles in materials development, benefits of instructional materials for their future endeavor as a teachers. Create a learning objective that focus on student – centered, develop an instructional materials that suits in in the needs of every students and ways to implement them in order to address the problem in an inclusive way, and design an evaluation plan. The course format will be interactive and collaborative. The students will benefit from the creativity, experience and knowledge of each other. One goal for this course is to create a syllabus and lesson plan that based on the ADDIE model, in which complex questions are addressed together, individual strengths are respected and nurtured, and everyone works and learns cooperatively because of the collaborative nature of the course.

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.

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.

Core Instructional
Shifts Through OER

Open Ed 2014
2. ISKME, OpenEd 2014
Two Opportunities
OER
Supports collaborative
curriculum design and
improvement
Enables localization of
content (remixing,
repurposing)
Enables teachers as
makers and curriculum
leaders
Common Core
Requires educators to support
literacy and close reading
skills across disciplines
Necessitates teacher-to-teacher
feedback, modeling
of effective practice, and
shared decision making
(Model Core Teaching
Standards)*
*The 2011 Model Core Teaching Standards were developed by the Council of Chief State
School Officers’ Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC)
3. ISKME, OpenEd 2014
Two (Particularly Challenging)
Anchor Standards
LITERACY.CCRA.R.1
Read closely to determine
what the text says explicitly
and to make logical
inferences from it; cite
specific textual evidence
when writing or speaking to
support conclusions drawn
from the text.
MATH.PRACTICE.MP3
Construct viable arguments and
critique the reasoning of others.
Understand and use stated
assumptions, definitions, and
previously established results in
constructing arguments. Make
conjectures and build a logical
progression of statements to
explore the truth of conjectures.

Articulation of Substantive
Instructional Challenges & Shifts
Key Shifts From… To…
Teacher
Collaboration
Siloed approach to curriculum
planning and design
Integrated approach that enables
scaffolding of student knowledge
across subjects
Use of Texts in
Literacy
Instruction
Loosely connected texts are
referred to as part of instruction,
and the same text is rarely used
across multiple subjects
Close reading texts and tasks are
strategically selected and sequenced
to support students in progressing
through learning goals, within and
across subjects
Balancing
Direct
Instruction and
Literacy
Standards
A focus on content knowledge
and direct instruction, and lack
of confidence about how to
balance/integrate math
and/or ELA literacy standards
Teachers work to successfully strike a
balance between direct instruction in
their specific content area and the
literacy standards
11. ISKME, OpenEd 2014
A Framework for Teacher
Collaboration
Aligned Integrated Overlapping
Ex: Teachers plan
their curriculum so
that topics of
study in, e.g.,
history and math
are aligned to the
literary era
covered in ELA
Ex: Teachers
teach a theme
congruently,
drawing on the
same texts and
examples, and
addressing
common learning
objectives
Ex: Teachers
understand or are
familiar with each
other’s subject
areas, and work
closely to help
students understand
concepts from
multiple angles

In Closing: How the Model
Supports OER Adoption
Marries the requirements of teaching literacy across
disciplines with the opportunities provided through
OER
Starts with teachers’ curriculum needs, and offers a
toolkit that elevates OER as a means to meet those
needs
Demonstrates how OER—as a pathway for
collaborating around and sharing feedback about
curriculum materials—can meet the needs of the
CCSS instructional shifts
