- The document discusses several global trends that are forcing changes in education, including the rise of a knowledge-based global society, evolving job markets, and increasing life expectancies.
- It notes that the skills needed for jobs are changing rapidly due to advances in technology and globalization, but education systems have been slow to adapt. As a result, students may not be receiving an education that prepares them for the future job market.
- The document also highlights specific challenges in Texas, such as rising poverty, dropout rates, and the number of uninsured children, which can negatively impact the state's economy if not addressed.

THE SMARTEST INVESTMENT: A FRAMEWORK FOR BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT IN EDUCATIONUNICEF Education
Investing in education is essential to developing a skilled workforce for the future and improving economic growth. As of 2011, more than 57 million primary aged children are still out of school and 130 million children have failed to learn the basics even after four years in school. A new Framework for Business Engagement in Education, launched at the UN Global Compact Leaders’ Summit last month makes the case for putting education at the center of business investment. It provides practical advice on how business can be an effective partner in improving education systems and learning worldwide.

NewSchools Venture Fund presents ReimaginED, a 50 slide overview of the present and future of education.
From TED talk playlists to government speeches, everyone agrees: education is changing. Exactly how, why, or what it all means is still up for debate. Are the low United States PISA scores a sign of stagnation or creativity? Does technology replace or enhance face to face interaction? Are we trying to teach skills, concepts, or learning mindsets?
At NewSchools, we’d like to set the stage differently, in the context of the ground up innovation already happening. While some see the systemic challenges facing us as signs of a depressed age or solemn future, we see it as a call to action. The time is now to re-imagine our education system, and the landscape that’s developed over the last several years offers fertile ground for new approaches.

Introduction to the DePaul University Office
The Office of _____ is a division of Student affairs that focuses in on the adult
population of students. They work with various resources to help adult students
transition from their lives into the academic space. They are there to provide a
helping hand to students above the age of 24 pursuing any degree at the University.
The three primary methods this office utilizes are Programs, Advocacy, and Services.
By offering these three essential methods of support, this office hopes to ensure
success to all and any Adult Students who seek it.
DePaul University has built a name on diversity and a personable experience to
learning. To help assure that all populations of students are serviced, the University
has allocated many departments. The DePaul Office not only services adult students,
but leads a joint effort to provide for Veteran Students as well as Commuter Students.
Thus this Department is known as the Office of Adult, Veteran, and Commuter
Student Affairs. Each wing uses their own coordinators and resources to provide the
best experience for their populations.
II. Environments Affecting Higher Education For Adult Students
A. The education industry is vast. This specific market of education would be
considered higher education. This encompasses colleges, universities, specialty
programs, and any sort of higher learning. It larger than a 10 billion dollar
industry and growing every year. Competition for the education industry is the
work force or services where possible students begin working or enlist in
government programs. They also compete with households because many may
choose to be stay at home parents. The Higher Education Industry has many
subsets of programs and offices that help enhance the education experience for
Students. Advocacy programs compete with athletics and other inner school
departments. They also compete with hobbies such the gym or outside clubs with
no affiliation with the school. The amount of students seeking higher education is
a market of about 21.6 Million projected to be about 24 Million by the year 2020.
31% of Undergraduate enrollments are of Adult students (Aslanian 4). These are
adults seeking higher.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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.

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.
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

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.

The job market is continuing to evolve, yet we are still teaching students the same subject matter that we have presented for the last 30 years.
The job of today depend on the ability of our students to “think outside the box.” Students need to learn how to use knowledge rather than how to memorize facts.
Other countries want our business. Labor unions do not dictate to CEO’s. Production is simpler and more economic in other countries than in the United States. We have gone from a major producer to a major consumer.
Workers need to understand the concept of individualization. Team work is important but the individual that develops the plan for improved production or new efficiency it the one that will move ahead.
People can teleconference, communicate globally, and work from anywhere in the world. There is no limit to interaction with the available technology and this will only improve astronomically with time.
The job market has changed, but the education students receive in high school is stagnant. This is why students now need at least 2 years of college to compete with their peers. When they enter college, they have to take general courses to catch up with students in other countries. Our students lack the education to be at the college level in the core subjects.
If we do not learn new skills, there are not going to be enough jobs for people of all ages. As we learn more about medicine, life expectancy will continue to increase. What will we do with the population? Will it be possible for people to “buy” a longer life? What are the moral implications? What will life be like for those without the means to support themselves as they age? What will we do with all the people? How “long” should we choose to allow people to live. Case in point– Stephen Hawking.
Are our students ready to compete in a global economy?
Where do US students rank in college readiness with other countries? Observe the yellow bars. 23/30 in math, 21/30 in science, 15/30 in reading, 24/30 in problem solving.
Our education system is not keeping up with the information students can access on their ipods. The information we are giving students is already obsolete. What we have to do is use technology to our advantage and challenge students to find and use new information.
The measure of one’s IQ will not be the same as what we measured 10 years ago. Creativity and use of information will be the centerpiece and prediction of success.
Schools have got to change to meet the demands of a student population that is learner centered or public education as we know it will be obsolete. Online classrooms education is expanding. Students are able to interact with others from home while taking an array of classes not offered in traditional schools. By the year 2014, the average time students spend in face to face setting will be half the time spent now. Students will learn virtually for at least half of the school day.
The labor market is changing and US colleges are not. This causes a gap in the skills needed in the labor market. US college students are not equipped for the job market when they graduate. Further training is needed.
The drop out rate for teenage girls is on the rise.
Dropouts among the children of foreign born parents is increasing.
Dropout rates are increasing nationally and the dropout rates for border states is continuing to rise.
Increasing numbers of dropouts will have a devastating effect on our economy.
From 1990 to 2007, there was an increase of 1,362,683 children in Texas.
This means there are more children in poverty although the percentages seem to be steady. 22.5 % of 1,362,682 is 306,604 more children that are in poverty and need assistance or free school lunches. It costs more to educate this population or students in proverty.
There is an increasing number of Texas children on food stamps. These numbers were taken in 2007, the recession was not yet impacting our economy. 20.5% means that out of 100 children, 20.5 are receiving food stamps.
In 2005, the number of uninsured children was 23.3%.
In 2005, there were 385,537 live births. This means that 89,830 of these children were not insured.
Due to poor prenatal care and nutrition, there were more children born with a low birthweight in 2006 than in 1990. There has been a 35% increase in children born in Texas was a low birthweight. Think about how many were and are still uninsured.
In 2006, 38% of the Live Births in Texas were to mothers that had no prenatal care.
Of the live births in 2006, 53,954 were to mothers between the ages of 13-19. These are the children in poverty having more children that are born in poverty. Not only is there an alarming number without proper care during pregnancy, the quality of care and nutrition continue to plague these children during developmental years.
TAKS scores are not really giving us an adequate picture f the number of children passing TAKS. TAKS scores are determine by the TLI each year. Texas still ranks 49 th in college entrance scores.
Although the number seem to show the gap is closing for non eco and eco disadvantaged groups, the truth is students from socioeconomic advantaged homes score higher than do their low socioeconomic counterparts. The number of low socioeconomic students in our public schools is on the rise. The gap is still there and for more students. The math behind percents is the more students there are, the more are needed to impact percent. In other words, if there are more low socioeconomic students than there were 10 years ago, then more students can score lower on tests without impacting the percent. Therefore by having more students in s subpop, the more can fail.
