Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
1. Service Learning Project Sarah Repp & Trent Trias srepp00@knights.ucf.edu triast2009@knights.ucf.edu April 10, 2010 EEX 4070
2. Going into this project, we were unsure on exactly what to expect both from the students that were participating and the elderly individuals that were involved. We were concerned with the quality of work that we would receive and the acceptance of the work by the elderly. There was a slight feeling of excitement when we actually were able to begin the project and see what the students would create. Early Perceptions
3. We visited two different school sites for the learning project. Oakcrest Elementary School is located in Ocala, Florida. This school is currently seeking International Baccalaureate accreditation and has achieved a school grade of “A” for the last 3 years. We chose to use the children in the ASD unit to assist us with the service learning project. Introduction to the Setting
4. We also chose a high school to participate in the service learning project. Vanguard High School is also located in Ocala, Florida. Vanguard High School continues to stay on the cutting edge of curriculum offerings, has one of the largest active School Advisor Councils in the state and is a leader in school-wide technology. Introduction to the Setting

8. Engagement Activities Planning: 6 hours total. We worked as a team creating activities that the children would participate in. We had the students decorate construction paper with different designs. We provided markers, crayons, scissors, and paper. Each student had the opportunity to be as creative as possible to design each of their placemats. Vanguard High School: 3 hours total. We worked in Mrs. Raym’s ESE self contained classroom. Oakcrest Elementary: 3 hours total. We worked in Mrs. Rodriguez’s ASD classroom. Final touches: 2 hour total. We took the placemats to be laminated, and then cut them individually. Nursing home: 2 hours total. We delivered the placemats to the nursing home, and personally talked to a few of the recipients.
9. Participant Demographics Oakcrest Elementary: The age in the ASD classroom varies from 7 years of age to 11 years of age. The unit consists of 8 students, all that are labeled as Autistic, and are considered to be high functioning. The ethnic backgrounds of these students varied. One student is from Jamaica and another is from Mongolia. The rest of the students are either African American or Caucasian. Vanguard High School: The age in the ESE self contained classroom varied from 14 to 18 years of age. The classroom consisted of 12 students. The ethnic backgrounds of these students varied. The students consisted mainly of African American and Caucasian. Oakhurst Care and Rehab: The age of the recipients was 55+. Due to security reasons the only people we were able to speak to were the staff members, and select patients. In doing our service learning project were able to produce 30 placemats which will serve numerous patients at Oakhurst Care and Rehab.
10. Reflection of your Experience This experience has broadened our knowledge of how to incorporate school with the community. We realized through this project that simple everyday tasks that come very easy to us serve as difficulty to others. We also recognized and appreciated the strength that these children have and the impact that even though these children have disabilities, they could prove to have a positive impact in the community. The experiences that had the most significant impact were when the children were able to express their creativity through art. It was motivating to watch children create artwork through a selfless act of kindness for a perfect stranger. Through this experience, we have gained an appreciation for community service. Both of us have not participated in a community service project since high school. We can honestly say that this experience has been both humbling and rewarding. So many teachers are petrified to teach in an ESE field mostly due to the lack of knowledge about children with disabilities. This experience showed us that working with these children could be very challenging but could also be very rewarding. These students considered us to be more than a visitor that just walked in the room. One of the most important insights that we gained was classroom structure. These students knew exactly what time each transition would happen and exactly what they would be doing. Overall, this service learning project has been a positive influence that will be carried into our personal classrooms. .
