*Although the core symptoms of depression are similar across the life span, developmental differences exist and should be taken into account in the assessment
*With increasing age, there generally is an increase in melancholic symptoms, delusions, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation/attempts.
*In contrast, younger children tend to have more somatic sxs, separation anxiety, behavior problems, temper tantrums, and hallucinations
*Direct interviews with children and adolescents are critical because parents and teachers may not be aware of the youth’s depressive symptoms
*Discrepant information between parents and their children should be solve in a cordial and non judgmental way
*Assessment of suicidal and homicidal ideation and behaviors is mandatory
*The interview process and screening questions utilized by research interviews such as the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children, Present and Lifetime Version (KSADS-PL) can be useful
*Detection and diagnosis can be enhanced by available parent and child self-report measures

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.
