A year at the com: A developers journey into leadership.
So you're thinking of taking the leap and going from being a developer to a director (or similar role) but you aren't quite sure? This session is for you. Thinking of promoting that rockstar developer, but not sure if it's the time? This session is for you. I am here to share my expectations, my fears and what they turned out to be. There were many mistakes, there were a few big successes and everything I thought it would be, it isn't.
WHAT WILL YOU GET OUT OF THIS SESSION?
How a leadership role differs from a maker role.
What the day to day life of a manager is really like.
How it's different from what most makers think it is.

As a remote leader, it can be difficult to provide support and feedback, address issues outside one's responsibilities, and feel disconnected from decision-makers. The document suggests developing ten tips both for remote leaders on how to effectively lead from a distance and for organizations on how to better support distributed leadership models.

2016 Esmeralda CSD Superintendent - Board Retreat
The document outlines the agenda for the 2016 Esmeralda CSD School Board Superintendent Retreat in Las Vegas, NV. The agenda includes introductions, leadership videos and discussions, reviewing and adopting district policies, analyzing student and staff data, developing district goals and mission statements, and a pre-evaluation of the Superintendent.

Introduction to Flipped Classroom
The document discusses the flipped classroom model of instruction. In a flipped classroom, traditional homework is done in class and lecture content is delivered through videos for students to watch at home. This allows class time to be used for active learning activities like discussions and problem-solving. The flipped model has evolved from being used for absent students to a full redesign of classroom activities that places the teacher in more of a guiding role. Tools like YouTube and video editing software allow teachers to easily create and share video lessons for students.
Plan an activity
The document provides a 9-step process for planning and carrying out a leadership activity: 1) Set a goal, 2) Gather ideas and decide on an activity, 3) Determine details, 4) Gain necessary approvals, 5) Organize and publicize the activity, 6) Implement the activity, 7) Evaluate how well it went, 8) Thank those involved, and 9) Archive all relevant documents. Key aspects emphasized include planning early, having backups, involving others, properly publicizing, and evaluating the activity's success.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
