Classroom Styles as Discerning and Constructivismijtsrd
Constructivism improves thinking skills, statement and social talents, encourages unusual methods of appraisal, helps student's removal skills to the real realm and promotes intrinsic inspiration to learn. Discerning and Constructivism are the big notions in education. Their inferences for how educators teach, and study to teach are immense. Rather than getting ‘knowledge' from professionals in training periods, teachers and executives will have to team up with peers, academics, and their own scholars to make intellect of discerning and constructivism. Merely then we can convert our nation, via education, into an attentive, critical, scientific area, imbued with the desire for truth and for total social prosperity. If we want a futurity that is much more solicitous, vastly more compliant, greatly more concerned, and a lot more amorous, then we have to devise it. The prospect is in our schools, schoolrooms and humanity today.

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.
Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
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

Baccalaureate
The International Baccalaureate (IB) began in 1968 in
Geneva, Switzerland
IB began its Diploma Program (DP) for internationally
mobile students who were preparing for university.
A non-profit educational and non-governmental
organization (NGO)
Funded by fees from IB World Schools
5. IB has expanded and now consists of 3 programs.
1. Primary Years Programme
3-12 year old students
PreK3 – Grade 5 at CISB
2. Middle Years Programme
11-16 year old students
Grade 6 – 10 at CISB

6. The IB Mission
Statement
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring,
knowledgeable and caring young people who help to
create a better and more peaceful world through
intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools,
governments and international organizations to develop
challenging programmes of international education and
rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world
to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who
understand that other people, with their differences, can
also be right.
7. What does it mean to be “internationally
minded” and why is it important?
It is a thoughtful, critical perspective that applies to
who we are and what we do.
It includes how we communicate, our political
awareness, cultural understanding, celebrating
diversity, global awareness of global issues
It is a reflection on how knowledge is constructed and
applied. At CISB, we would like to focus on moving
students toward becoming people who reflect the
characteristics of the “Learner Profile.”
9. Teaching and Learning in the PYP
“Commitment to structured, purposeful inquiry that
engages students in their own learning.”
“inquiry… is recognized as allowing students to be
actively involved in their own learning and to take
responsibility for that learning. Inquiry allows each
students’ understanding of the world to develop in a
manner and at a rate that is unique to that student.”
How does PYP differ from “traditional” methods? Work in groups and share.

30. Why is PYP important at our school?
CISB students
• Will be taught WHY they should know something
• Will learn HOW it connects to other subjects and the world around them
• They will experience high quality teaching and learning
• Will have great opportunities to study for college/university worldwide, and
opportunities to make friends with other students at IB schools around the world.
31. Why PYP for CISB?
Structured inquiry as the vehicle for learning
Six transdisciplinarythemes provide the framework for exploration and
construction of knowledge
Students develop an understanding of important concepts, acquire essential
skills and knowledge, develop particular attitudes and learn to take socially
responsible action.
International standards for measuring teaching and learning
Challenging academic programs
A global professional network for educators to learn effective classroom
practices and teaching strategies
Curriculum framework, program evaluation and mentoring

Editor's Notes
The PYP has constructed a set of eight key concepts, which answer the question: What do we want the students to learn? Questions in each unit of inquiry can fit into one of these key concepts.
As part of the PYP, we focus on the development of positive attitudes towards people, towards the environment and towards learning. At CISB, the Attitudes are addressed explicitly throughout every aspect of our curriculum.
In addition to the concepts and attitudes, knowledge of the curriculum, and the transdisciplinary skills of research, communication, thinking and self-management, action is one of the most important. The International Student is challenged to choose his or her action based on the learning. We want to give the students the opportunity and the power to choose their actions, to act, and then reflect on these action in order to make a different in the world. The action component of the PYP involves service in the widest sense of the word: service to fellow students, to the staff, and to the community. Through such service, students are able to grow both socially and personally, developing skills such as cooperation, problem solving, conflict resolution, and creative and critical thinking. These actions are, moreover, ways in which the students exhibit their commitment to the attitudes that teachers seek to engender within the PYP classroom.
Teachers will be using a planning tool from IB. All teachers will be teaching the same unit, but inquiry allows children to come to their own understanding so what occurs in one grade 2 class may not be identical to what occurs in another grade 2 class.
Is the nature of their inquiry developing over time? Do they apply their knowledge base to new inquires? Etc.Assessing, Recording and Reporting of curriculum- We also have to report on the learner profile.
Use this to review the 5 essential elements.Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes, Actions and Concepts
Parents will be provided with individual sheets to complete and leave with us.A few will share their worries and strengths they see in the PYP
