Raising awareness of our own beliefs about what teaching and learning are could be a good starting point for a Mentoring training course. How does my long experience as a student influences my judgements of what good teaching is? How does this influence my role as a Mentor or Supervisor.

Innovative Teaching Technology for Optimum Skill Development; The Paradigm Sh...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
What we are practicing today constitutes a traditional style of learning where as new education policy 2020 is looking forward to emphasize upon increasing GER & developing employable skills in the students through optimum learning methods. Since necessity is the mother of invention, so we need innovative learning pedagogy at distinct stages of education i.e. Primary Level, Secondary Level and Higher Education Level. As different age group learners get education at different aforesaid levels and therefore pedagogical styles may vary at Primary, Secondary & Higher Education level of education. Traditional teachers centric pedagogy as on today is gradually shifting towards more effective Learner’s Centric Pedagogy which provides learners a stress free environment, More flexibility and a greater participation than ever before in the history of learning.
The paper attempts to investigate most recent innovative teaching practices and futuristic approaches particularly at Higher Education Level (Student Age 16 & above), that would help in developing employable skills in the learners to cater industrial needs. I wish to urge top decision makers to think a while over the findings of the paper for academic excellence especially in the context of higher education.
It is for the teachers to understand that their teaching style is how much important for the career of students. Adopting the traditional style teacher-centered instruction is not appropriate for today's requirement of industry.
TEACHING IS A CHANCE TO GET INVOLVED IN THE FUTURE – A SERVICE – AND IS THE NOBLEST OF ALL PROFESSIONS. HENCE I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM A TEACHER.
A TEACHER SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT THE STUDENTS CAN DO AND NOT ON WHAT THEY CANNOT.
This is the PPT version of an action research paper written by Dr. Edward Roy Krishnan. He is passionate about teaching and learning. He has a blog at www.affectiveteaching.com.

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.

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”.

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.

1. about constructing knowledge, not receiving it
2. about thinking and analyzing, not accumulating memorizing
3. about understanding and applying, not repeating back
4. being active, not passive. (Marlowe & Page, 2005)
14. Type of Teacher I Want to Be
A learning-centered classroom:
• Focuses on finding solutions
to real-world problems.
• Is about what the students are
doing and what the students
can do in the future.
• There are multiple ways to
accomplish an individual task.
• A partnership and a strong
level of trust between
educators and students.
15. Am I aware of my Apprenticeship of Observation?
• 12-20 years in classrooms
watching teachers teach
• A repertoire of teaching
strategies with which we felt
comfortable as students
• Assumptions about how
students learn based on our
own learning styles and
strategies
• A bias toward certain types of
instructional materials with
which we became familiar as
students
• Asymmetrical, since we
formulate a conception of
teaching based on perceptions
as students, not as teachers
16. A Blessing & A Curse
• Enables teachers to
function immediately in
the classroom
• This imprint may be
difficult to overcome
• Forms the basis for how
teachers carry out their
classroom practices
• Because the basis is
imitation rather than
understanding, they often
follow unchallenged
common sense principles
18. Tension: Approaches to Teaching
Teacher Centred
1. Focus on teacher
2. Focus on what T thinks is
important about
language.
3. Teacher talks; students
listen
4. Students work alone
5. Teacher monitors and
corrects every student
utterance
Learner Centred
1. Focus on students and T
2. Focus is on how students
will use the language
3. Instructor models; students
interact with instructor and
one another
4. Students work in pairs, in
groups, or alone depending on
the purpose of the activity
5. Students talk without
constant instructor monitoring.
19. Approaches to teaching
Teacher Centred
1. Teacher answers
students’ questions
2. Teacher chooses
topics
3. Teacher evaluates
4. Classroom is quiet
Learner Centred
1. Students answer each
other’s questions. T is
one information source
2. Students have some
choice of topics
3. Students evaluate their
own learning, teacher
also evaluates
4. Classroom is often noisy
and busy
