Do It Yourself Projects will include:
1. Designing and creating an infographic to market your library to administrators and community.
2. Explore ideas for collaborating with teachers using data research in student projects. Can we say "common core"?

Learning and competency data can be useful tools in assessing a student’s individual learning needs. In this month’s Blended Learning webinar, presenters Sharnell Jackson and Tim Hudson shared best practices for organizing and using student data in order to better meet student needs. They also discussed processes for using and analyzing data at the student, classroom, and district levels.

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.
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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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

Overall, an excellent opportunity and a very valuable program. ” Evaluation Comments 0
What is MI-LIFE? Goal in developing the curriculum was to create a program that was relevant to practicing administrators not a sit-n-git incorporated the use of technology tools/applications that could be used in their everyday work concept of “skate to where the puck is going; not to where it is” provocative to cause them to question current assumptions about being a school leader
Funded by a grant from Microsoft Partners in Learning to the Michigan Department of Education
Partnered with the 5 administrator associations – MASA/MAISA, MASSP, MEMSPA, MANS, MAPSA – Ask for hands to show who is a member of each. MIEM is the fiscal agent
The MI-LIFE Mission Statement To acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes to become 21st century leaders who have an impact on improving student achievement.
Need for 21st Century Leadership Ask What does this mean to you? How would you define 21st century leadership? How ready do you think you are? Give some examples of what you are doing differently now to prepare your students.
In developing the curriculum for MI-LIFE we asked these 4 big questions Reference them – do not read the slide~!
Stress that while the program focuses on the Leadership Strand, the learning covers all the strands with he Data Strand as a major focus in all the courses.
One of our goals is to provide support as you meet the accountability requirements for which you are held. This includes making AYP, NCLB requirements, MI SAS, the Michigan School Accreditation System (formerly EdYES), AdvancED (formerly North Central Accreditation), or the MANS accreditation for non public schools.
Why do we need to challenge our assumptions about administering, teaching and learning? Our world has changed…
And, certainly, our students have changed
And, more importantly, their future has changed Reference Jukes quote Ask for examples INTRODUCE VIDEO BEFORE CLICKING INTO NEXT SLIDE: As you view the video in the next slide, note the changes that should impact the education of students. It is our responsibility to prepare them for this changed future
21 st Century Skills is NOT about technology Rather, it is about …….Review the 4 circled areas referencing some of the skills
Includes 3 courses (2 face-to-face and 1 online) Building 21 st Century Leadership provides the leadership foundation for the MI-LIFE Curriculum. Leaders focus on self-awareness as they journey through interactive, introspective reflection on their leadership skills, behaviors and responsibilities. Intersecting Data focuses on identifying the work for continuous improvement in districts/schools and classrooms and centers not only on what the data say but how the work may change when multiple sources of data are intersected and analyzed to create a more accurate district/school profile for greater accountability. Aligning Systems (online) examines the interconnectedness among the elements that comprise the whole system to determine how a change in one area of the system may impact other areas of the system and how that influences the work to be done.
Includes 2 courses Building a Culture of Shared Leadership and Capacity for Continuous Improvement views leadership as a collective, shared potential among many stakeholders and explores the health or toxicity of the environment in a district/school to create the right culture for a purposeful and robust professional learning community that ultimately impacts student learning. Supervising the Instructional Process ensures that a process is in place for connecting the curriculum with high-quality classroom instruction and student assessment and includes methods for monitoring and supervising instruction to make certain that effective instruction is actually and consistently occurring in classrooms.
They attend the first session (face-to-face) and then are assigned intersession work The second face-to-face session is spaced so that the intersession work can be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time.
Total of 18 SBCEUs for entire program Successful completion of EACH unit earns SBCEUs Must complete the entire unit to earn the credits THE SCHEDULE IS STRUCTURED SO THAT IF YOU MISS A SESSION AT YOUR LOCATION, YOU CAN ATTEND AT ANOTHER ONE. Schedule was handed out and is on website
We have been conducting an ongoing evaluation of the program which has provided us with feedback for assessing our work and, equally important, to make revisions to the program/courses. You will be completing anonymous, online evaluations at the end of each course and a final evaluation at the end of the program.
Partnered with various universities to provide those who want to earn university credits. If you are interested in Credits – Raise your hands Information is on our website on the ABOUT page CAN’T earn both SBCEUs and university credits
Endorsement We have applied for Endorsement for this version of the MI-LIFE Program and are waiting for approval. MUST be a certificated administrator to receive an endorsement.
Briefly share that this model of delivery is intended to reach administrators in as many different locations in the state because we recognized that it is difficult for administrators to always “come to Lansing” for professional learning. (We attempted to have more sessions in the northern part of the state but couldn’t get enough participants) Red = Cohort 1, Blue=Cohort 2 , Green Cohort 3 WILL INSERT COHORT 3

These are the learnings for this first session of Intersecting Data
Type of data refers to the classification or category of the data. We are using the 4 most recognized data types from the work of Victoria Bernhardt. Source refers to the basis or origin of the data. Differentiate between Type and Source Don’t go into depth on each until the individual slides that follow. Words in parentheses are the terms used by the Michigan Department of Education
Intersection of 4 types of data from 4 sources Example: Demographics/Perceptions/School Processes/Student Learning - Are there differences in achievement scores for eighth grade girls and boys who report that they like school, by the type of program and grade level in which they are enrolled. Victoria L. Bernhardt Journal of Staff Development, Winter 2000 (Vol. 21, No. 1)
Check list of what we’ve done to prepare for their assignment
Distribute Handout 10 – Scoring Guide and go over the way the performance assessments will be scored.
These are the things we will be doing in this second session of Intersecting Data
GOAL AND ABSTRACT – PPT 2 Review the Goal and Abstract of the Course
CLIMATE AND CULTURE – PPT 7 These two terms are often used interchangeably to refer to the distinctive workplace of a school. However, they are very distinct aspects of a school that we will explore as we go through this first part of the session to see how they are related and interactive dimensions of school life.
CLIMATE DRIVEN BY CULTURE – PPT 10 School culture can positively or adversely affect school climate as we will see… A school can have a healthy culture or a toxic one.
HOW CULTURE IS DEVELOPED – PPT 12 Some schools are populated by teachers and administrators who are reformers, others by educators who are gifted and talented at subverting reform. And many school cultures are indifferent to reform. If the school leader isn’t mindful about the culture and doesn’t consciously work to manage the culture, it will take on a life of its own and be created by the staff . Ask for reaction or examples from experience to this statement
MAJOR INDICATORS OF A HEALTHY SCHOOL CULURE – PPT 57 According to the Center for Improving School Culture , there are 3 major indicators of a healthy school culture. This Center has done significant research, collected data, and published their findings to support the relationship between these three indicators and levels of student achievement.
INTERSESSION OVERALL ASSIGNMENT – PPT 80 Review the overall assignment that is to be completed during the Intersession
LEADERSHIP CAPACITY – LAMBERT PPT 65 Distribute Handout 6 Once you have distributed the handout, and ask them to follow along with the interview in which the quadrants will be explained more thoroughly.
BUCKETS PPT 69 Review the concepts depicted on this slide. Draw information from Instructor Resource” “What Does Leadership Capacity Really Mean?” Ask : Privately determine which bucket would best describe your school. Give time to reflect.
CRITICAL FACTORS FOR LEADERSHIP CAPACITY PPT 72 Ask: Reviewing these factors, think about how you became skillful in your own practice. How did you acquire your skills? How do you continue to learn about your work? What are the implications of your experience for professional development? How is professional development defined in your school? How might you refine the definition of professional development in your school?
RESISTERS AND SABOTEURS PPT 70 Distribute Handout 7 – this is also a part of the DuFour interview which we are not listening to. Rather they will individually read the descriptors for each “mistake.” Discuss and ask for examples. Ask how we can avoid making these mistakes.
