1st Colleague to Respond to:
Analysis of Myths and Misconceptions as They Relate to Practices
Creativity is not a word that I would use to describe myself. Much like the myths presented in Myths of creativity (2012f), I have associated creativity with artists and musicians because they were inspired to create something original and new to the world. Iâve never seen myself as original. However, I understand that creativity is directly linked to change and is essential to success in personal and professional life. As Puccio, Mance, Switalski and Reali (2012) state, in order for an individual to be successful in the 21st century, they must have creative thinking and adaptability to both grow with and drive change.
Examples
I clearly remember being embarrassed at my lack of creativity when I was working as editor-in-chief for my universityâs newspaper. The editor was often an individual who was outspoken, fearless, and creative. They had to be. In fact, once a new editor took over, that editor had a meeting with their staff to redesign the newspaper. When I was asked what I planned on changing, I said nothing because I liked the way the newspaper looked. This was mostly true, but at that time, I also had a fear of rejection and criticism. All I remember is blank stares from my staff, until a faculty member snapped back, âAre you serious?â
It took me awhile to realize that when redesigning the newspaper, it was not meant to be drastic. Nobody expected me to have some fantastic, out of the box design. Unfortunately for me, I had believed in the myth that if I was going to be creative and bring my ideas to the table, it had to be original and new. This severely impacted my ability to be creative in anyway.
Thankfully, things have improved. I no longer fear rejection and criticism; Iâve learned to embrace it and learn to grow. I also understand now that creativity is not always something original. It can be any idea that is useful and brings results. The editor-in-chief that replaced me a year later decided to ditch the dark mar ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
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 Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs 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 Empireâs 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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
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 wasnât 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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
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 âany matterâ at âany timeâ 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
1. Illustrations by Anirudh Bajaj
This is me.
As you review my candidacy, I wish to share the story
of how I have grown as a person over the years and
how I have come to be the person I am today
2. My greatest childhood inspiration was
my grandfather, a modest mining
engineer who rose to the top of Coal
India Ltd., the largest coal producer in
India
His management practices turned
around the loss-making business and
hurtled the surrounding villages into
economic and environmental prosperity
His example first sparked my interest
in the energy industry and filled me
with a belief that I could make the
world a better place if I worked
passionately towards solving a single
issue
3. As a dreamer with an active imagination
and a knack for solving brainteasers, I
spent my time coming up with my own
solutions of world issues
For example Iâd wonder, âWhy do we need
to burn gas? Why canât we somehow
compress our waste along with plant
matter and burn that to run our vehicles?â
This natural curiosity pushed me towards a
degree in engineering, and I decided to
work in the field of energy to reduce our
energy-deficit.
4. As a shy introvert consumed in my own
thoughts, I often avoided social
interaction in my childhood
Soon I noticed it was very challenging
for me to express my thoughts and
opinions in front of others, or
understand what they were interested in
I realized that I would be unable to
implement my grand plans alone, and
that I need to communicate better to
align others with my vision
5. However it was my experience in
theatre in college that really
helped me improve my
communication and social skills
Amidst my performances in front of
large groups, I gained the confidence to
express myself better even under
pressure
As an actor, I became more
conscious of my feelings and
simultaneously more perceptive to
otherâs emotions
I tried several methods communicate
my thoughts and ideas in a way that
people would appreciate â through
art, music and writing
6. As I joined Schlumberger to
understand the workings of the energy
industry, I worked with a diverse set of
people with different ethnicities and
age groups in remote locations
Some older co-workers were
especially difficult to work with, and
later supervise, as they believed I was
not qualified to lead them since I had
not faced the hardships they had
7. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING
OVERTIME FOR SEVERAL DAYS
NOW! THE CLIENT ASKS US TO
WORK AT NIGHT AND OUR
SUPERVISOR ALWAYS AGREED
WITH HIM.. I AM SO TIRED!
I UNDERSTAND .. I WILL
SEE WHAT I CAN DO
I leaned on my experience in
theatre to empathize with my crew
and understand their viewpoint
Soon they started trusting me to
communicate their issues and
concerns with our clients and
upper management
8. As I developed my ability to understand
others, I was slowly able to influence them and
motivate them by giving them what they really
wanted
YOU KNOW OUR CREW IS
DEMOTIVATED RIGHT?
THEY ARE WORKING
OVERTIME EVERYDAY
ON SOME DAYS THE CLIENT
HAS SOME VERY
IMPORTANT WORK AT
NIGHT.. SINCE WE HAVE
ONLY ONE TEAM, WE HAVE
TO ADJUST. I DONâT KNOW
HOW TO SAY NO TO HIM!
I used my natural analytical ability and improved
communication skills to provide creative solutions
and solve my crewâs and clientâs problems. I
discovered I was effective at resolving conflicts as I
found solutions to satisfy both parties
SIR, OUR CREW IS FATIGUED DUE TO
WORKING OVERTIME CONTINUOSLY.
I HAVE A SUGGESTION- HOW ABOUT WE
SPLIT THE CREW IN HALF ON THE DAYS
YOU REQUIRE EXTRA WORK, SO EACH
HALF WILL BE WELL RESTED AND MORE
PRODUCTIVE?
NOT A BAD IDEA
ANIRUDH! I HAVE NO
ISSUES WITH THIS PLAN
9. Having come a long way from my
introverted tendencies as a child, I was
immensely satisfied to have developed
a sense of camaraderie with my crew
Moreover my success resolving problems
working in teams boosted both my own
and my managementâs confidence in my
leadership ability. I was now able to
confidently express the ideas I had
For example, I suggested plans for a new
base for an upcoming project in Barmer,
Rajasthan in 2015. Management was
impressed with my enthusiasm
They made me the Engineer-in-Charge for
this project, and I was selected as the team
leader to set up the new Barmer base, 1 of
only 4 bases for Schlumberger in India
10. I wish to continue using my creative problem-
solving abilities to help my clients overcome
their issues by working in teams in a top
management consulting company
I believe the world is at the brink of an energy
revolution, and there is a multinational effort to shift
the global energy system away from fossil fuels. I
hope to one day use my breadth of knowledge and
expertise to guide companies and governments
making high-level strategy decisions in this exciting
period of time, and hopefully play a role in facilitating
the transition to clean sources of energy
I believe MIT Sloan, with its analytical, team-based
culture, will provide me the perfect platform to realize
my vision. The closeness to the scientific community at
MIT campus is an added bonus, as it will keep me in
touch with the latest technological developments in my
chosen sector
