Education for All; Teaching students with intensive needs in the internationa...Lori Boll
The International School Bangkok has just opened its doors to six students with intensive needs. In this presentation, delegates will hear about the journey ISB took to educating ALL students, regardless of academic ability, and why this presenter believes that all schools can and should be doing the same. Lori will share how her classroom is set up, programs and curriculums used to promote learning and independence, and show videos of her room in action.
A Google Hangouts egy ingyenes videó beszélgetést lehetővé tévő alkalmazás. Mondhatnánk azt is, hogy olyan mint a Skype, de néhány dologban jelentősen több lehetőséget biztosít annál.
De ne ragadjunk le a technikánál! A célunk nem az, hogy bemutassunk egy szoftvert, hanem hogy inspirációt adjunk Önöknek, hogyan tudnák kihasználni a technológia adta lehetőségeket a saját szakmai és üzleti céljaik elérésére, hogyan kerülhetnek a piac elé befektetés nélkül, szinte azonnal. A Hangouts on air alkalmazás használatával új lehetőségek nyílnak meg mindenki számára.
Videótananyagok készítése, egyéni vagy csoportos videó beszélgetések szervezése, a beszélgetések rögzítése és megosztása az ügyfelekkel, online prezentációk tartása (webinárium), videó üzenetek készítése és még több tucat olyan lehetőség, ami konkrét üzleti és szakmai előnyöket jelenthet. És mindezt teljesen ingyen és pont olyan egyszerűen és innovatívan, mint azt a Google-tól már megszokhattuk.

Do The Green Thing Social Media MetricsAndrew Sleigh
At Do The Green Thing, we spend a lot of time finding the best inspiring Green Things, and sharing them with you on our website, Facebook page, in our monthly emails and on Twitter. We love to hear what you think, and naturally, we're also keen to know if we're helping you to Do The Green Thing.
We track the numbers for all our digital presences to see how many people we reach, and how interesting you find us. There are a lot of numbers to collect, and it's not always obvious what they mean, or whether they're useful. So we've been doing some work recently to come up with a simple system to collect data from all the different sources (our email software, Facebook, Twitter and so on), combine it, and give us some monthly indicators of how well we're doing.
We've posted up a slideshow here that shows how our system works, what assumptions we're making, and what we get out of it. And we're sharing it for two reasons:
1. If you're involved in something a bit like Do The Green Thing, you might find it useful as a model for measuring your own success. You'll likely have to tailor it to fit your circumstances and objectives, but it might provide a useful starting point
2. We'd love to get your feedback on whether you think this is a good model, and how you would improve it.
So please let us know what you think, and if you find it useful. Thanks.
Over a third of the student body at Notre Dame College is first-gen. Many of these students were unaware of available resources and felt embarrassed by the prospect of asking for help. Resultantly, retention rates for first-gen students between freshmen and sophomore year were alarmingly low: just 57% in 2013. After only three years of implementing a peer mentorship system at their FirstGen Center, they are seeing retention rates rise to over 70%. One of the most powerful tactics NDC has implemented is creating a positive association with being first-gen.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

3. Objectives
1. To understand the effects proximity has on student independence
2. To realize how peer and teacher relationships are affected when a student is
supported by a paraprofessional
3. To appreciate the value and benefit of peer support in helping students gain
independence
4. To embrace the idea of “aide, then fade” and learn other strategies to support
students without hovering
5. To become familiar with 4 levels of support
3
4. 4
Realize that your services are an IEP need for support,
not the need for a 1:1. Often times, paras are assigned to classrooms, not students.
5. Benefits of 1:1 Support
• Assists in providing special education and related services under the
direction of a qualified teacher/certified staff
• Implements positive behavior interventions, supports and strategies
• Facilitates social interaction between peers with and without
disabilities
5
6. Effect on Teacher’s
Role?
• May defer important curricular , instructional,
and management decisions to the para
• Para may be viewed as the “expert” in
understanding the student’s needs.
• Responsibility for the student’s educational
progress transfers to the para (Marks, Shrader,
&Levine, 1999; Giangreco, Broer, & Edelman, 2001)

8. Proximity Effects on Student Independence
Paras maintain close proximity
with student
• Physical contact
• Sitting immediately next to
student
• Accompanying students
everywhere

9. Proximity Effects on Student Independence
• Student learns to rely on the
aide
• Minimizes the frequency and
type of peer interactions
• Decreases student’s opportunity
to become an independent
learner.

10. Effects on Students’ Social/Emotional Development
• Paras may separate the student from
his/her classmates
• Hovering paras interfere with natural
peer supports
• Paras interaction with the student may
interfere with the general education
students’ attention and concentration
• Students may feel a loss of privacy
(Giangreco, Edelman, Luiselli, & McFarland, 1991)

………..say some students in your classrooms………
Imagine this
being a student
saying this
instead of a
teacher.
12. Have you heard this before?
“Hover cover, Velcro effect”
12
13. Think about it……
• 2 examples of how you have “helped” a student
• 2 examples of how you have “hovered” over a student
Together: Choose 2 students at your school with whom you may or
may not work on a regular basis. For each student, list three
independent skills that he or she needs to acquire. What might the
role of a para be in maintaining and increasing the students’
independence with those skills?
13
14. How to Decrease Dependency
How to Increase Independency
• Create a mindset: I should not do for the students what the student can do
for himself.
• Use “fading” and “prompting” intentionally and strategically.
• Understand and appreciate that your job is not to keep the student from
bothering the teacher (Levine, 1999).
• Allow student’s work to be authentic, rather than completed by para.
• Defer communications with parent to teacher.
• Advocate for cross-training/rotating of paras with students.
• Ask if 2 paras can be assigned a student with demanding needs (am and pm)
• Hope for time to discuss plans with teacher.
14
15. Increasing Student Learning
and Independence
Promote self-sufficiency by:
• Resisting urge to step in and do things for them
• Asking leading questions:
• What’s next?
• What should we do first?
• What else?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMwaruBi3M4 (1:18)
15
16. Ask yourself :
1) Can the student participate independently?
2) Is there another student who can provide support?
3) If my support is required, how can I “aide, then fade” ?
4) Am I supporting this student out of need, or out of habit? Does this student truly
need support at this moment or am I just in the habit
of offering support in this kind of situation?
16
17. Role of Para: Social Support/Peer Relationships
• Facilitates appropriate social interactions between students
• Allow students time to communicate independently using their
mode(s) of communication
• Provide and encourage association with appropriate peer role
models.

23. Intentionally plan to FADE prompts/support
• Facilitate independence by VARYING the amount of support,
monitoring, and prompting based on need and independent level of
student.
• Plan, systematically with the teacher, on when and how to fade.
• Replace your support with visuals. Teach natural, environmental cues.
• Aide then fade.
