It is okay to share some personal information like your name, age, and school online but not private details like your address or phone number. You should chat with people you meet online before meeting in person and only meet someone if you feel fully comfortable and safe. You should never fully trust someone you just met online and be wary of sharing private information right away.
This document provides several strategies for teachers to assess student progress during a lesson in order to demonstrate progress to observers, including lesson observations. Some strategies described are having students self-assess their understanding at the beginning and end of class using tools like confidence scales, RAG ratings, facial expressions, and exit tickets. Other strategies involve questioning students about what they have learned over the course of the lesson. The goal of these strategies is to make student progress during the lesson explicit for short lesson observations.

Additionally, the cricket teams from Bristol and Mumbai may have played against each other in the Indian Premier League.
The Three Gorges Dam is the largest dam in the world located in China between Chongqing and Wuhan. It took 17 years to build and provides renewable energy to China but required millions of people to relocate. While it supplies electricity, critics argue it caused environmental issues and used more fossil fuels than planned during construction.
The document discusses two types of transfer in learning - low road transfer and high road transfer. Low road transfer occurs when the transfer context is similar to the original learning context, triggering automatic responses. High road transfer depends on abstracting lessons from the original context and deliberately searching for connections to apply principles or knowledge in a new situation. High road transfer takes more time and mental effort than low road transfer.
Sean Fahey & Alex Brooks Mt Everest.ppttonybattista
Mount Everest is located in the Himalayan mountain range. It was formed millions of years ago when the Indian tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate, pushing up sediment and forming the Himalayas. Living on Mount Everest is extremely difficult due to the thin air, freezing temperatures, rough terrain, and lack of oxygen at high altitudes, which can be dangerous for human bodies.
The document provides tips for great teaching. Tip 1 is to plan activities and lessons around giving students time to do tasks independently rather than having the teacher act as a "sage on the stage." Tip 2 is to be clear and rigorous in instructions so students learn independence and problem-solving skills. The teacher should train students to think for themselves rather than just providing answers. Tip 3 promotes using simple, effective questioning to help students find answers on their own, such as from textbooks, rather than directly telling them answers. The goal is to help students learn to think independently.
The document discusses Bristol, England, comparing its past and present functions. In the past, Bristol was an important working harbor and source of employment, while now it also focuses on education and tourism. The main modern employers are Bristol City Council, the Ministry of Defence, and the NHS. The people of Bristol are multicultural. Historically, Bristol grew due to its port on the River Avon, which made it a center for trade, including the slave trade, until control was broken in 1698. Today, tourism, education, and regeneration efforts attract people to the city.
Poor time management can lead employees to get less work done than expected, miss deadlines, and spend uneven amounts of time on different tasks. This wastes time and causes productivity issues like demoralized staff, slowed work progress, missed targets, and delayed projects. However, developing good time management skills allows organizations to better plan work, focus employees on tasks, track project progress, and gives individuals more control over their schedules.

Specific ideas are given for using Twitter in the classroom, with a link to 60 additional ways it can be incorporated into lessons.
This document discusses supporting English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners in the classroom. It outlines that the goal is not to view EAL students as having special educational needs, as language barriers alone do not indicate cognitive issues. There are two types of EAL learners: newly arrived students with limited English proficiency, and more advanced learners who have been in the country for years and can switch between English and their native language. The document provides tips for helping newly arrived EAL students, such as using visual aids, asking simple yes/no questions, and not panicking if students are silent as it can take up to a year to begin speaking English.
The document discusses ways to capture student progress, including using a progress bar, self-assessment, and teacher-led progress checks. It describes six characteristics that enable progress, such as allowing time for student thinking, reducing the teacher's role, and fostering student engagement. Finally, it provides examples of "mini plenaries" like asking students to summarize their learning or track their progress over time using a graph.
This document discusses ways for teachers to challenge students and encourage progress through questioning techniques. It provides examples of open-ended questions teachers can pose to students at the start of lessons to stimulate thinking on different levels of challenge. It also offers strategies for questioning students during lessons, such as planning questions in advance and using techniques like posing, pausing, bouncing and pouncing. The document emphasizes making questions an important part of the classroom by modeling questioning, providing opportunities for students to practice, and responding positively to student answers rather than just saying if they are right or wrong.
This document provides a list of interactive activities that can be used in lessons to engage students in "doing" activities. It references Jim Smith's book The Lazy Teacher as inspiration. The activities are categorized into quick (10 minutes), chunky (20-30 minutes), and huge (40+ minutes) sessions.
The document provides two thinking menus that ask questions to help students reflect on a lesson they have learned. The first menu asks questions about what the student is thinking about related to the lesson, connections they have made, how they feel and how involved they have been. The second menu asks questions to help the student review and remember the key aspects of the lesson, including what was learned, skills used and how the knowledge could be applied in other subjects or contexts.
Geography and the GA in Changing Timestonybattista
This document discusses changes in geography education in the UK. It notes that geography GCSE and A-level entries have fluctuated over time but remain strong subjects. Upcoming reforms to the national curriculum, GCSEs, and A-levels will present both challenges and opportunities for geography. The Geographical Association provides guidance and support to help educators navigate these changes and ensure geography education remains rigorous and relevant.
The Holderness Coastline of England suffers from the highest rates of coastal erosion in Europe due to its soft, easily eroded geology and exposure to strong winds and waves from the North Sea. Several villages have been lost to coastal erosion over the centuries. While some areas implement hard coastal defenses like seawalls and rock armor to combat erosion, these strategies are costly to maintain and can worsen erosion elsewhere down the coast. Integrated coastal zone management is now sought to balance protection of infrastructure with the natural shoreline processes.

Integrated coastal zone management is now sought to balance protection of infrastructure with the natural shoreline processes.
The document discusses coastal processes and how waves change as they move into shallow water. As water shallows, the wavelength and velocity decrease while the wave height increases and the wave steepens. Eventually the wave breaks as the sea floor interferes. Beach shape adapts to energy conditions, becoming steeper in low energy periods to be more reflective and flatter in high energy periods to dissipate wave energy. Longshore currents transport sediment along the coast, building features like spits that extend across coastal indentations.
This document outlines an agenda for a geography best practices meeting. It includes:

3. A discussion of what makes an outstanding geography lesson according to new OFSTED guidelines.
4. A presentation on using ICT tools like websites, videos and QR codes in geography lessons.
5. A showcase of links between primary and secondary geography programs.
This document discusses the importance of understanding how and why rivers move. It is important to understand river processes and morphology because it impacts flood risk, navigation, infrastructure damage, and ecology. The document outlines how rivers transport sediment and how the balance between sediment load and transport capacity causes rivers to adjust their size and sinuosity over time. It also discusses how future climate change may impact river sediment loads and morphology, and thus flood risk, using examples from modeling of the River Eden catchment in Cumbria, UK.
The document discusses the hydrological cycle and its key components. It asks students to draw and label a diagram of the hydrological cycle. It also asks students to identify the main inputs, flows/transfers, stores and outputs of the hydrological cycle. Finally, it prompts students to consider how humans can influence the hydrological cycle and provides independent study time to review and clarify lesson notes.
The document discusses the hydrological cycle within a drainage basin. A drainage basin is the area of land drained by a river and its tributaries, forming an open system with inputs, stores, flows, and outputs of water. It instructs the reader to label a diagram of a drainage basin with features including the source, watershed, tributaries, confluence, and mouth.

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.

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
