Let's talk
This document provides suggestions for teachers to create opportunities for children to express themselves through talking. It recommends having children talk about themselves, objects around school, pictures, and stories. For pictures, children can discuss what they see and predict outcomes. Stories should allow children to relate to characters, imagine events, and recreate the story. Role playing story characters develops communication skills. Teachers should let children speak fully, show interest, and respond by elaborating on what was said and asking for more details.
Chapter 8.
This document discusses strategies for telling stories to young English language learners. It provides tips for telling stories, such as using gestures, pictures, and varying one's voice. Retelling stories is recommended as it helps children practice language skills. When retelling, teachers can use props like flashcards or have children act out parts. Asking questions about the story helps check comprehension. Stories can be used for various activities with children like listening, speaking, reading, writing, coloring and acting.
Flash Cards
1. Flashcards can be an effective resource for teachers to use in the classroom as they appeal to visual learners and help reinforce vocabulary, structures, and other concepts.
2. The document outlines various activities teachers can do with flashcards, such as drilling vocabulary, identification activities where students guess the word, and total physical response activities where students act out or point to the flashcard.
3. Flashcards are suggested as a way to warm up, present new material, practice, review, assess learning, and reinforce concepts throughout a lesson. When used correctly, they can be a fun and engaging tool.

Lesson plan family_sixth grade_mmichael
This lesson plan aims to teach 11-12 year old students about past simple tense and family relationships through the story "The Enormous Turnip". The 40 minute lesson begins with an introduction where students make predictions about the story by sequencing pictures. As the teacher reads the story aloud, they will stop at various points to ask questions and have students make further predictions. Afterwards, students will identify the important characters and their actions in the story, noting the use of past simple verbs. Finally, students will evaluate what they have learned by observing their engagement with the story and comprehension of past simple tense formation. The objectives are for students to understand the main idea of the story, retell it using time connectives, and understand the function

Books
This document provides guidance on book selection and use for children of different ages in a learning center. It recommends that preschoolers have access to a wide variety of book categories and genres. Infants and toddlers are best suited to board books with pictures of routines, objects, people, animals and transportation.

The teacher's role is to encourage children's involvement with books and keep story time engaging. Early literacy development involves connecting oral language to written symbols.
How to study with flashcards
Flashcards are a popular study tool that allow students to self-test and identify weaknesses. However, flashcards alone don't encourage deep understanding. This document provides a strategy for using two stacks of flashcards - one with concepts and one with instructions - to interact with concepts in new ways and improve understanding beyond memorization. The key is to randomly select a concept card and corresponding instruction card, such as describing a concept without its definition, and verbally responding to help solidify learning. This flashcard strategy can be used across various subjects.

ACTIVITY-BASED-LEARNING. For Demonstrationpptx
Activity-based learning is a student-centered approach where students are actively involved in learning activities rather than just listening. It emphasizes learning by doing. Teachers act as facilitators, planning exploratory, constructive, and expressional activities for students. Examples include art, writing, cooking, science experiments, games, and digital tools. The method develops students' skills, confidence, and understanding while making learning engaging and relevant. However, it requires more time and effort from teachers to plan and ensure activities are properly structured for learning.
Strategies for Reading Instruction
The K-W-L approach is a three-column reading strategy used to help students actively engage with a text. It consists of columns labeled K (Know), W (Want to know), and L (Learned). In the K column, students brainstorm what they already know about a topic. In the W column, they generate questions about what they want to learn. As they read, students record what new information they learned in the L column. This helps improve comprehension and metacognition by tapping prior knowledge and setting learning goals.

Sergiovanni
This document summarizes key ideas from the book "Leadership What's In It For Schools?" by Thomas Sergiovanni. Sergiovanni argues that effective school leadership is based on shared ideas rather than policies or personalities. He advocates for "ideas-based leadership" where teachers and leaders share values and beliefs. Sergiovanni also believes leadership should be distributed and that the principal acts as a "lead follower" who engages others through conversation rather than directives. He criticizes standardized leadership models and argues schools require a flexible approach tailored to their unique contexts.

Pollock and Snow "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape, Session One: Setting Expec...National Information Standards Organization (NISO)
This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
