The document discusses the Ratep program, which aims to increase the number of Indigenous teachers in Queensland through teacher education partnerships. It outlines the success of the off-site model, funded by MATSITI, which expanded access to students living outside of community sites. Analysis found high retention rates and completion on time for off-site students in 2014-2015. The funding enabled outreach through enhanced online learning and teacher support, nearly doubling applicant numbers and allowing greater geographic reach across Queensland.

Nicky Hockly's presentation on mobile technology projects in low resource contexts
Abstract: Is it possible to teach English with technology in low-resource contexts? Do teachers need to have expensive up-to-date technology, and reliable IT infrastructure to even consider integrating the use of technology into their English language classes? I address these questions by looking at what EFL teachers can and can't do in contexts with few resources, and provide some suggestions for teachers who would like to start working with technology in their classrooms, but are concerned that they do not have the means.

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.

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

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.

14. Culturally relevant delivery
• Indigenous staff as teachers / support officers
provide role models and mentors for students
• Indigenous specific units of competency
• All the latest communication technology: SMS, online
task submission and learning platforms
• Learning Guides written by experienced, culturally-aware teachers that
include references to diverse Indigenous lives and contexts. Regularly
reviewed by a CAB (Indigenous community advisory board).
• All students have at least 2 teachers allocated to their studies, their DET -
SS TC and the TAFE Coordinator of their course + subject teachers.
15. Ratep THEN and NOW
Originally catered to the needs of remote Indigenous
communities for teacher education on country (predominantly
in Torres Strait & Cape York)
Has organically morphed towards catering to students living in
rural, regional and urban communities due to higher entry
standards and renewed emphasis on quality outcomes
(although still some remote sites)
MATSITI help with off-site model allowed expanded delivery to
students living in previously unserviceable locations
16. Ratep Off-site model
MATSITI funding was provided to TAFE to support the
continuation and expansion of RATEP’s OFF- SITE DELIVERY
MODEL in 2014 within the Certificate IV in Education and
Diploma of Education courses.
Previous to introduction of an off-site model, Indigenous
people NOT living in or near a community with an official
Ratep site would be ineligible to study with us. At any one time
there are approx. 15 sites around Queensland. So this excludes
many potential applicants.
17. Ratep Off-site model
The model incorporates interactive virtual classroom e-
sessions, online assessment/course content and developing
mobile technologies.
Teacher-learner relationships enhanced by off-site students
having regular access to a full time, Department of Education
and Training (DET) ‘Off-Site Teacher Coordinator’ Leigh Payne
who provides additional tutorial, pastoral and administrative
support to off-site students.
21. Ratep Off-site model ANALYSIS
The offsite model funded partly by MATSITI in 2014 has been
highly successful and its continued availability in 2015 looks
again to be very successful
Knowledge of this delivery option for Ratep has spread
throughout the state in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
communities whereby enquiries for 2015 almost doubled
those of 2014.
22. Ratep Off-site model ANALYSIS
MATSITI’s support for the offsite model has enabled it to be
successfully promoted, implemented and expanded in a wide
variety of locations.
This has allowed it to gain traction and sustainability as a
viable model of teacher education for Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander people unable to attend a study site near their
place of residence.
23. Ratep Off-site model RESULTS
In view of the low attrition numbers, ‘completion on time’
rate, and growth and sustainability of the offsite model,
MATSITI’s financial support to the model in 2014 provided
excellent value for money in helping address the goal of more
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teachers in Australia.
