This document outlines a new approach to a Preparation for Tertiary Success (PTS) course designed to help Indigenous Australian students transition successfully to university. The new course focuses on identifying student strengths and learning needs, incorporating Indigenous knowledge, and developing a lifelong learning identity. Key changes include exploring concepts like identity, resilience and success; emphasizing group learning; and using tools like the Effective Lifelong Learning Inventory to support students through shared understanding of learning dimensions. Initial results are promising, with more students successfully completing the course.
TPACK integration in teacher education: A case study in educational institut...Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The aim of this study was to explore the ways in which teacher education institutions prepare pre-service teachers for integrating ICT in their classroom practice. Specifically, a multiplecase study was conducted to examine the ways in which the development of TechnologicalPedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) was promoted in the existing curriculum of threeteacher education institutions in Flanders. In the three cases, data were drawn from semi-structured interviews with the heads of the department and the ICT coordinators. Focus groupdiscussions collected the perspectives of pre-service teachers and teacher educators. Theresults indicate that 1) the three institutions are moving from ICT as a “stand-alone” coursetowards embedding ICT across the curriculum and 2) three approaches were adopted for developing pre-service teachers’ TPACK, each representing different ways of understandingthe place of ICT in the curriculum. The discussion will focus on the challenges andopportunities inherent in understanding how to develop pre-service teachers’ TPACK in thecurriculum of teacher education institutions.

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
