This presentation offers parents 10 reasons to join the PTA. Enhancing the education of children is easier when parents are involved and the PTA offers a wide variety of volunteering options. Please share as you see fit and thanks for considering your school PTA - your children will thank you for it!
I will explore some of the key policy developments in relation to fathers that have emerged under the rubric of work/family balance and identify how these relate to a less well documented set of developments which call upon child welfare services to ‘engage’ fathers.
Family and Childcare Trust's annual review is a record of our achievements over the past financial year, including details of our funders, alongside details about our staff and members of our trustee board.

The implementation of the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 has highlighted the role that parents play in ensuring that their children are successful learners who grow into confident adults able to take up their roles as citizens and contribute effectively to society. Schools and parents need to work in partnership in order to achieve these ambitious aims.

Positive involvement of fathers in parenting E35Sophie40
Research is consistently showing that the positive involvement of fathers in the upbringing of children is directly linked with improved childhood well-being. This session seeks to explore the characteristics of an effective service in supporting vulnerable families and in particular fathers. This discussion will be informed by research and will allow participants to explore the issues further with a view to improving practice and informing future
research in this important area.

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.

The Parent Factor in Education
∗ telling stories or reading books to children when they are very young is
strongly related to how well they read and how much they enjoy
reading, later on.
∗ talking about social and political issues, or about books, films and
television programmes with adolescent children is related to better
reading performance at school.
∗ children whose parents have more positive attitudes towards reading
are better at reading, themselves, and enjoy reading more.

“Food for Thought” was dreamt up by Primary 6 & 7’s when they
were learning about Global Citizenship.
It has developed a sense of community and is raising money for
their sister school in Ghana and other local groups.
Pupils have gained and used many skills during this opportunity such
as literacy during marketing and PR, numeracy during ordering
stock, pricing and keeping their accounts and IT skills for Graphic
Design, invite design, newsletters, Twitter and blogging.
Critical Success Factors - enthusiasm, commitment, going above and
beyond, keep it manageable and have a good business plan – it’s
essential.

‘A hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of
car you drove, what kind of house you lived in, how much
you had in your bank account, or what your clothes
looked like.
But the world may be a little better because you were
important in the life of a child.’
