LOVE LETTERS THAT GO UNSAID was initially an assignment for my Communication Studio IV class, a part of my manifesto project. It did not take long until I used this project as an outlet for some inner emotions and thoughts that I had carried for, in some cases, for years.
Through the publication, I decided to explore how my life, myself, my existence as a whole changed through certain relationships I have had in the past. My main goal was to seek "design" through raw emotions, and not to be tied onto a machine, losing what was most important; the experiences, the emotions, and the stories that seeped through the ephemera I had collected not only for this project, but in my personal life.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
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.

4. Our Goal
For each student to experience success in an
enjoyable and challenging educational
atmosphere.
We view education as a partnership between the
teacher, student and parents.
5. Reading Workshop
Our balance literacy program includes read-aloud,
shared, independent, and guided reading opportunities
in different genres.
Each student reads at their independent level
Each student selects ‘just right’ books for classroom and home
reading
It is important to understand the focus is not the level
of reading, but on gaining meaning from reading
to prepare students for a future academic life of
interacting and understanding all texts.
6. Your children will...
Not just decode text, but learn strategies that help them:
Think
Understand
Interact
Reflect
Infer
Synthesize
To obtain these strategies children need to slow down and
become thoughtful readers.
This slowing down gives children time to refine strategies and
become more active, fluent readers.
7. Writing Workshop
Writer’s workshop is an exciting program designed to develop
students’ love of writing, while incorporating prewriting, writing
and revision skills.
We encourage our students to learn that the process of writing is
as important as the end product and that writing is a useful,
everyday tool to communicate.
Writers Workshop Units:
Small Moments & Personal Narratives
Realistic Fiction
Nonfiction and Research
Poetry
Persuasive Writing
8. Word Study
Each student will work at their own level, learning words
through meaningful and enjoyable discovery activities.
Activities call for active problem solving, encouraging
students to discover what they know about a new word and
how it is similar to words they already know.
Weekly word study activities:
Monday - Open Sort where students explore and sort words
Tuesday - Explicit teaching of the word study pattern
Wednesday - Practice of patterns
Thursday - Exploring new words that follow the pattern
Friday - Review and assessments
9. Everyday Math
Learning Corporation University of Chicago School Math Project
This is an enriched mathematics curriculum that empowers students
to understand mathematical content far beyond simple arithmetic.
The emphasis is to develop more meaning to math by integrating
data gathering, analysis, probability, geometry, patterns and algebra.
Mathematics becomes part of the ongoing classroom routines, outdoor
play, and the spare transitional moments that occur every day.
What will you see being sent home:
Family Letters - sent home at the beginning of the unit
Home Links - homework for reinforcement of concepts or skills
Family Math Game Kit - pick up in the kit in your child’s classroom
Assessments - sent home at the end of each unit

and gentleness.

15. Reading Guidelines
Growing readers in second grade should be
reading 15 to 20 minutes each night
Reading is not considered homework
Reading with or to a parent, sibling or grandparent
Being read to by a parent, sibling or grandparent
Reading independently
16. Parent Volunteers
Parent Volunteers
Classroom parties and activities - room parents will notify you of events
Helping teachers and teaching assistants with the preparation of materials
Attending Field Trips - being responsible for a group of students
We encourage parents not to work directly in their child’s
classroom on a regular day. Previous experiences have shown
that children whose parents work directly in their classroom
often become distracted and rely on their parents for assistance.
Lunch with Your Child: You are welcome to have a special
lunch with your child. However, you may only dine with your
child in the MS/HS cafeteria. If your child would like their
friends to join you, please enjoy lunch in the ES cafeteria.
