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.

2. Parenting Gifted Children to
Support Optimal Development
Stephen T. Schroth, PhD
Towson University
MCGATE Webinar
July 15, 2019
3. Why worry about it?
• Gifted children’s development
varies from that of their age
peers
• Teachers, physicians, and
administrators will often be
unfamiliar with gifted
development
• Most books on parenting do not
include sections on gifted
children
4. Characteristics and Development
• Gifted children often exhibit
different characteristics than
their age peers
• These require different learning
interventions
• Unfortunately many in education
are aware of the characteristics
and needs of gifted children
5. Characteristics and Development
• Characteristics and needs of
course vary by child
• Somewhat dependent upon how
one conceptualizes and
identifies giftedness
• Despite this, there are still
certain characteristics that are
common across the gifted
population
6. Characteristics and Development
• Gifted learners frequently
demonstrate rapid learning rates
• They can understand abstract
and complex concepts (e.g.,
time, mathematics, etc.)
• Gifted children often surpass
their age peers in basic skills
7. Characteristics and Development
• In order to address these
characteristics, gifted children
need exposure to new and
challenging information
• They must have access to rich
and deep curriculum
• Access to cognitive peers who
demonstrate the same speed
and depth of learning a must
8. Characteristics and Development
• Gifted children often exhibit
well-developed memories
• They show intense and lasting
interest in certain subjects
• Gifted learners frequently
possess and use critical and
creative thinking, processing,
and problem-solving skills
9. Characteristics and Development
• Gifted learners benefit from
programs and enrichment
settings where these
characteristics can be nurtured
• Opportunity to set and evaluate
own priorities when solving
problems
• Exposure to alternative methods
of solving problems
10. Characteristics and Development
• Gifted children benefit from
exposure to tasks and problems
that let them deal with
abstractions and the
consequences of choices
• Gifted learners also need
opportunities to draw
generalizations and to test them
11. Characteristics and Development
• Gifted children often use
advanced thinking, processing,
and problem-solving skills
• Often demonstrate a high
degree of motivation
• Show flexibility and insight
within their thought processes
12. Remember Their Chronological Age!
• Gifted children are still children
• They enjoy, and often benefit
more, from age-appropriate
literature
• Attempts to hurry development
can result in the loss of many of
the pleasures of childhood
• Use age-appropriate materials but
focus upon critical and creative
thinking
13. Sensitive Periods
• Based upon work of theorists
such as Bloom and Montessori
• Those stages in time when a
child concentrates mainly on one
aspect of his or her environment
or learning to the exclusion of
everything else
• Basic guidelines
14. Sensitive Periods
• Movement (birth to 4 years)
• Refinement of the senses (birth to
5 years)
• Language (birth to 6 years)
• Weaning (5 to 6 months)
• Order (18 months to 2 years)
• Manners and courtesies (2 to 6
years)
• Numbers (4 to 5.5 years)
15. Sensitive Periods
• Visual complexity (birth to 2
months)
• Hearing (prenatal to 6 months)
• Language (18 months to 4 years)
16. Sensitive Periods
• Bloom suggested that moving
through these sensitive periods
early might indicate giftedness
• For some gifted children, their
intelligence might be represented
by more extensive vocabulary and
sentence structure
• Similarly, some believe early
reading may indicate giftedness
17. Family Dynamics
• Gifted children’s cognitive,
psychomotor, and affective skills
develop in a variety of
environments
• Home, school, enrichment
settings, other environments
• None of these is more important
than the home
18. Family Dynamics
• Nature vs. Nurture
• Interactions between parents
and children, siblings, or others
cause joy or tension
• Less tension is the goal
• Less stress means more brain
function focused upon
development
19. Family Dynamics
• Parenting styles affect the home
environment
• Family dynamics improved if all
members of the family modify
their behaviors in ways that
support the development of all
children
21. Uninvolved Parenting (aka
Rejecting/Neglecting)
• Parents make few demands
upon children
• Parents exhibit low
responsiveness to children’s
needs
• Parents offer little
communication to their children
• Children’s basic needs are met,
but parents otherwise detached
22. Permissive Parenting
• Parents rarely discipline their
children
• Parents possess relatively low
expectations regarding children’s
maturity and self-control
• Are more responsive than
demanding
• Tend to be non-traditional and
lenient in approach
• Encourage children to self-regulate
and are non-confrontational
23. Authoritative Parenting
• Demands that rules and guidelines
be followed
• Also responsive to children and
demonstrates a willingness to take
questions
• Failure to follow rules followed by
nurturing to increase likelihood
they will be followed next time
• Assertive, but not intrusive or
restrictive
• Allows children to feel supported
and fosters communication
24. Authoritarian Parenting
• Places high demands on children
with low levels of responsiveness
• Strict rules and harsh punishments
• Little time is spent explaining why
certain rules have been chosen or
implemented
• Parents seek obedience
• Parents derive status from
accomplishments
26. Parenting Style Is a Choice
• Greatly affects family dynamics
• A child’s happiness, self-esteem, and
social competence are greatly
influenced by parenting style
• Uninvolved lowest
• Permissive perform poorly in school
and have difficulty with authority
• Authoritarian obedient and well-
behaved but lower across all three
27. Family Composition
• Each child is unique
• All children benefit from
parental support supporting
their differences
• Parents must differentiate in
their parenting much as teachers
differentiate instruction at
school
30. Family Composition
• All children need a home
environment that makes him or
her feel safe to become who he
or she is destined to be
• One child’s needs are not more
significant than another’s
• Accomplishments of all should
be celebrated
31. Family Composition
• Continuum of parenting support
• Early age
• Most time at home
• Parks, libraries, museums, etc.
• Later enters school
• Outside the home
• Ask about perceptions of and from
these experiences
• Tailor outings to interests
• High school
• Opportunities to work with cognitive
peers
32. Programming Options
• In school
• Differentiation
• Cluster grouping
• Pull-out services
• Special classes
• Special schools
33. Programming Options
• Early entrance to Kindergarten
• Single subject acceleration
• Child is highly advanced in one
area
• Advanced in that area
• Remains with age peers
• Grade skipping
34. Social and Emotional Needs
• All children have these
• Gifted children’s tend to be
different
• If counseling necessary, find
someone with experience with
the gifted
35. Perfectionism
• Can be positive or negative
• Enabling perfectionism is the
drive for excellence that
represents intrinsic motivation
• Disabling perfectionism can be a
barrier to achievement or
performance
36. Enabling Perfectionism
• Empowers the gifted child to do
his or her best work
• A sense of pleasure derived from
the labors of painstaking effort
• A motivator that encourages
some gifted children to do an
excellent job
37. Disabling Perfectionism
• Gifted child may be plagued with
feelings of depression, guilt, or
shame caused by his or her work
• To compensate, gifted children
often engage in procrastination,
self-deprecation, and other face-
saving behaviors
• Leads to underachievement
38. Underachievement
• Discrepancy between expected
achievement (IQ tests) and
actual achievement (grades and
teacher assessments)
• Sometimes a consequence of
other emotional, mental, or
physical problem
• Often caused by gifted child’s
attitudes, motivations, and
perceptions
