Overview
The project based on the affordability housing has necessary objective and goals. These goals are not just meant to be constructed properly but are also to be measured in between so that further improvements can be met. Every objective mentioned carries different results and requirement from one and another, but having integrated outcomes in favor of affordability housing. The correct data collection is also important in dealing with the property as any misleading information may spoil the spirit of the project in future. Therefore, there should be the holistic approach in handling the project. Providing the just home for the living is the only aim of the project but providing a place for living that serves the chance for improved living with cleanliness. Methods/ InstrumentResult of objectives
The has been two to three objectives like assessing the potential owner eligibility, cleaning surrounding and generating funds to meet affordability.
Potential owner: allotting a house to a citizen is not as easy task, it requires lots of documents to be prepared. But as this project aims at providing ease to the participants and implementing the project on suitable timings. The requirements of the documents will be application form that participant have to fill properly then after that acceptance he or she have to provide Sale or Rent DEED, NOC from electricity department and pollution control board, NIC and this will not take more than a week. This process will create the authenticity in selecting the participants (Nitin, 2016).
Cleaning: the process of the cleaning depends on the number of people employed as when there will be less number cleaning may take time, so a significant number of the supers will be employed to clean the surroundings. The expected time taken will be 5 to 6 days. This will increase the value of living.
Funds raising: providing affordability can be met when there will be enough funds reserved in advance. Such effort will require lots of marketing campaigns. Marketing is vital in accumulating funds from the government and other organization to provide them specific information they need. Even after campaign there high possibilities of a personal meeting to provide the deepest understanding of the project. This process will take almost a month. Such objective will result in providing ease in meeting projected financial needs.Data required
The tool used for assessing the goals and objectives will be balanced scorecard. This is widely used by the multinational companies and nonprofit organizations too. The data required for assessment and management are financial, participants, internal process and growth targets. Such scored will serve as guidance through providing information that where project hav.

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.
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

13. What are you doing? How are you doing it? What do you want to accomplish/what are your goals? Be as specific as the space allows. (~3200 words) Project Description
14. Why are you doing this project? Consumer Demand Presence in a report or plan Timeliness (often, anniversaries) Meet a standard Complement or update preexisting historic resources Need and Rationale
15. Be specific Sequence of work Time needed to complete each step Is there enough time allotted for each task? Do the math! For example, how many objects can you realistically get cataloged in an hour or a day? Try doing a test. Did you allow time to evaluate your project? Do a survey, for example, to measure your outcomes. Work Plan and Timetable
16. MHS Executive Council/Committee has to approve all grants. Take this into consideration for your project start date. Fast Track: roughly 45 days after deadline Mid-, Large, and Partnership 5 months after pre-application deadline Letters informing you that you received a grant go out a day or two after they meet. It will still be at least a month after that before you receive money. And it could be even longer if you are slow getting your paperwork back in. Work Plan and Timetable
17. Who is going to work on the project? Regular staff? Full-time or part-time?—be sure to state that. Volunteers? Consultant(s) or other hired worker(s)? What are the qualifications for the tasks that each person will be performing? If you are hiring a consultant or worker(s), how do you plan to recruit them? Or, if you already have someone in mind, how did you decide on them? Project Personnel
18. Evaluation – Measuring Success How will we know if your project was successful? Did you complete your project? Did you reach your stated goals? Did you accomplish what you wanted to? SMART success: Specific – to your project. Measureable – accurate and complete. Actionable – helps correct or validate decisions. Relevant – can’t measure everything. Timely – have data when you need it. Outputs let you quantify your success. Outcomes let you qualify your success.
19. Outputs will support your project goals. Outputs are usually easy to measure – it’s counting widgets! How many objects did you catalog? What percentage of your collection did you inventory? How many oral history interviews did you conduct? How many people came to your program? Does it or doesn’t it meet Secretary of the Interior Standards? Evaluation – Measuring Outputs
20. Evaluation – Measuring Outcomes An outcome is a change in knowledge, behavior, or status A simple example: How many people took your genealogy class is an output; how many people actually learned to trace their family tree is an outcome. Don’t just assert something, substantiate it. Call the Grants Office for help if you get stuck on how to measure outcomes: 651-259-3467
21. Enduring Value: What “legacy” does this project provide for future generations? What outcomes or results will continue after the project is completed? Sustainability: Are there ongoing costs to sustain the project after the end of the grant period and can you pay for them? Are there continuing staffing needs and can you maintain them? Are there yearly fees or maintenance contracts and can you pay for those? Enduring Value & Sustainability
22. Project Budget Line items in the budget detail costs of goods or services. Articulate the budget for reviewers to understand your project. Don’t use vague descriptions such as “supplies.” Don’t forget to fill out the bottom section describing how you came up with those figures. Did you comparison shop? Is there a state or local contract you need to follow? Budget
23. Optional Matching Funds Don’t forget to include your time, other staff time, and volunteer time working on the project. On the Final Report – don’t forget to send in documentation of match. No documentation = doesn’t count. Budget
24. Financials for non-government entities with projects over $25,000. YES: 990, 990-EZ, Audit, Year End Financial Report NO: 990-N, Budget, Bank Statement, Balance Sheet Category-specific requirements: Be sure to Read the Guidelines! Example: Historic Properties require a Scope of Work form and photographs. Example: Digitization requires metadata samples. Not including required material can jeopardize your application. Required Attachments
25. Projects… are undertakings that require detailed planning are designed to accomplish prioritized goals or objectives have a purpose that supports the applicant's mission have a distinct beginning, and end with a product Fit more than one category? Split into phases. One or two sentence answers are insufficient. Remember, this is a competitive grant program. Indirect costs are not allowed. Do not hire a consultant, enter into a contract, or make purchases before receiving your “ok to proceed” letter. General Tips
44. Please stick to global questions of broad interest to whole group Staff will stay to answer project specific questions after the presentation General Q & A
