What stereotypes do we have around growing older? Are these realistic or do we fall victim to what we hear and see in media? This interactive session will give the opportunity to reflect on how we label different generations and ways in which we can break down barriers around ageing.

Connecting generations through walkingAlison Clyde
Paths for All is a Scottish charity and champion everyday walking as the way to a happier, healthier Scotland. They want to get Scotland walking, everyone, everyday, everywhere.
Paths for All, through its Walking for Health project is a leading delivery agent for the Physical Activity Strategy. The role of Walking for Health is to develop walking schemes in community settings as well as in workplaces. Through projects the aim is to increase the awareness of the benefits of being physically active as well as encourage more people to become active and stay active through walking.
During this workshop Paths for All will discuss how they can get everyone across the generations walking together including information on the new Dementia Friendly Walking project (funded by the Life Changes Trust).

Every community, regardless of size or location, has businesses, organizations, and institutions with global connections that can support a school’s mission. A globally focused school intentionally engages, cultivates, and nurtures partnerships with these community stakeholders to build its capacity to deliver high quality global learning opportunities for youth. In this workshop, participants will learn about the important role of community partners in the Global School Design Model and new Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA); how to identify and initiate work with community partners that align with the school’s goals; and strategies for cultivating and nurturing mutually beneficial partnerships. We will also share examples of successful school-community partnerships to spark discussion and potential approaches that can be adapted at participants’ own schools or districts.

Film Themes and Discussion Questions
EXCELLENT PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN ALL COMMUNITIES
Q-1: In Waiting for “Superman”, we travel with five families on their journey to enroll their children in public schools where students are challenged and supported in programs that prepare them for college. What is your vision of a great public school? What are the key characteristics of a great school?
Q-2: Who is responsible for creating and sustaining great public schools? What is your role – as a parent, teacher, student, administrator, community member, businessperson,
city official or philanthropist? What needs to happen in your community to create more
public ownership of your local public schools?
Q-3: In the film we see several examples of schools characterized by a culture of low
expectations and low achievement. Are there schools in your community that fit this
description? What do you believe are the root causes of these chronically low-performing schools? What is being done to improve them? What should be done?
Q-4: Research shows that what happens outside of school – such as neighborhood violence or inadequate health care or housing – has a significant impact on classroom learning and student achievement. In your experience, what is the relationship between neighborhood quality of life and student achievement?
Q-5: Public charter schools were first envisioned as laboratories of innovation, where new ideas and strategies could be tested and best practices then implemented more broadly in traditional public schools. Although some information sharing has occurred, it is not a widespread practice, due in part to the isolation and at times distrust that exists
between charter schools and school districts. How can public charter and non-charter
schools learn from each other so that successful programs, practices and strategies are
shared and broadly implemented? What can you do to support information sharing and
collaboration between public charter and non-charter schools in your school district?

Advancing Teacher Leadership Through Advocacy - Nov 2016John Segota
All educators play a critical role in improving the lives of their students, however this is especially true for educators in the TESOL field. Advocacy is at the core of being a TESOL educator, but what is the best way to be an effective advocate for students and programs? This presentation will discuss how TESOL educators can answer the call for advocacy, and identify ways that educators can shape the policies that impact their programs, their jobs, and their students’ lives.

Racial justice and the climate movementEPIPNational
A challenge as complex as climate change demands approaches that link its social and ecological dimensions. Importantly, the destructive effects of our fossilfuelbased way of life are uneven, harming some people more than others. The impacts of climate change are also uneven. For example, coastal storms, sea level rise, and drought disproportionately affect certain populations. Real solutions to the climate crisis will require a significant level of socioeconomic change, as we decarbonize many sectors of society including energy, agriculture, and transportation, to name a few. Socioeconomic restructuring on this scale raises the critical issue of equity: solutions must work for everyone.
To best create climate solutions that meet the needs of everyone, we must create space for historically less privileged populations to lead. A more inclusive and intersectional movement will allow all groups to learn how patterns of oppression and privilege operate in our society, as well as, understand how they intersect with environmental justice and the ability to influence public policy. It will also build trusting relationships that leverage the power of diverse alliances and intersections, broadening our work beyond the confines of singleissue environmental organizing.
To that end, this webinar will answer the following: “How can we honor the intersectionality of climate change in a way that invites historically excluded populations to lead us toward an unstoppable climate movement?” Participants will walk away with guidance and lessons learned from philanthropists and practitioners who are applying an inclusive and intersectional approach to strengthen their work.

A truly Digital Future is only possible if we are inclusive of all in society, bringing the right access to the right people who have the confidence and skills to make the most of it. It is for this reason that the Scottish Government has put Digital Participation at the forefront of creating a World Class Digital Nation.
Scotland's community based networks have collaborated over six-month period to produce this joint vision of how Scotland's community sector can grow and develop.
The report sets out our shared vision for communities to become more empowered and for community sector as a whole, to become stronger.
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.

2. Background
• 11-18 Academy based in Blackbird Leys, Oxford
• Area of high social deprivation (in top 10% most
deprived in the country)
• Strategic review in Jan 2015 concluded that the
academy needed to:
Become Outward Facing
Develop greater levels of trust with its community
Develop a management structure for community links
Become an agent for community support, change and
development
Innovate – find and develop bolder, broader solutions to
address priorities
3. Why Old School?
• Community strategy identified intergenerational
work as an area to target
• Local issues with social deprivation & isolation:-
-The Oxfordshire health inequalities commission
report states wards in our local area (Blackbird Leys,
Rose Hill) are in the top 10% most deprived in the
country. There is also a significant issue with loneliness
affecting older people within urban areas of the county.
