The document discusses interventions for children from multi-stressed families. It notes that parental stress can negatively impact children's development and behavior. Educational models and social services are needed to help families develop skills to cope with stress and prevent crises. These include health education programs, social work, family counseling, and support groups. The goal is to help families regain emotional balance and build resilience through stress management strategies.

Liaison work with regular teachers, parents, administrators, resource room teachers, Group counselling, psycho education with parents, guidance and counselling programs in regular school
The purpose of the study was to determine the major parenting styles and their influence on senior secondary school students’ social interaction in the area. The study made use of a sample of 1517 senior secondary class 2 students. It was an expost facto design with a structured questionnaire for data collection. The instrument was pre-tested to establish its validity and reliability. The results indicated that most parents seemed to adopt authoritative parenting style in their child rearing. The study showed that parenting styles have significant influence on students’ social interaction. It was inferred that authoritative parenting enables students to have positive self-concept, self assertuion, self reliance, understanding, and creativity that lead to high performance and social competence while other parenting styles lead to anti-social behaviour. Authoritative parenting style is therefore recommended to enhance students’ social interaction. Parents, students, school authorities and Government would benefit from the study.
Holistic education is a philosophy of education based on the promise that each person finds identity, meaning, and purpose in life through connections to the community, to the natural world, and to humanitarian values such as compassion and peace. Holistic education aims to call forth from people an intrinsic reverence for life and a passionate love of learning.
Holistic Education is a multi-levelled experiential journey of discovery, expression and mastery where all students and teachers learn and grow together.
It is a quest for understanding and meaning. Its aim is to nurture healthy, whole, curious persons who can learn whatever they need to know in any new context. By introducing students to a holistic view of the planet, life on Earth, and the emerging world community, holistic strategies enable students to perceive and
understand the various contexts that shape and give meaning to life.
Holistic education recognizes the innate potential of EVERY student for intelligent, creative, systemic
thinking.
Holistic Curriculum is inquiry driven, interdisciplinary and integrated, and is based on explicit assumptions of disconnectedness, wholeness and multi-dimensional being.
It recognizes that all knowledge is created within a cultural context and that the "facts" are seldom more
than shared points of view. It encourages the transfer of learning across academic disciplines. An holistic
curriculum encourages learners to critically approach the cultural, moral and political contexts of their
lives.
Holistic Learning is organised around relationships within and between learners and their environment while empowering learners to live fully in the present and to co-create preferred futures.

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
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.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

Working with Children and their multistressed families
1. Working with children and their
multi-stressed families

3. •
An objective of specialists (educators, family counselors, social
workers etc.) in child protection - evaluation and reduction of the
impact of stress on families
•

these challenges and to prevent their entry in crisis.
4. Questions
What are the psychosocial factors implied in analyzing the
phenomenon of family stress?

are their needs?
What kinds of educational and social services are appropriate to
increase children and multi-stressed family quality of life and to
strenght childrens solidarity and creativity ?
5. Objectives
1. the problem of children at risk from multi-stressed families
(establishing a diagnose of risk psychosocial factors implied in
children and their multistressed families)
2. developing an intervention methodology to decrease :

•
The term of stress has enjoyed growing popularity
•
The number of articles on stress and mental disorders

•
Family stress represents the imbalance (real or imagined)
between:
1. demands faced by the family
2. the family's ability to adapt to those demands (McCubbin,
I.H., Sussman, B.M., Patterson J.M. 1983)
7. Stressed family
• Madsen W. proposes an alternative to the traditional description of
struggling families
• suggesting to specialists:
- to see family members as distinct from issues in their lives
- to discover resources available beyond these issues
• the concept of stressed family is a more appropriate label and
defines :
- the difficult reality of families lives
- the capabilities, skills and resources that families
can access to face this pressure or stress
8. Family stress
Many families experience a number of symptoms in a given time
Distress occurs when the family is living with these events
continuously over a long period of time
-
Parental stress is associated with :
parent's individual emotional problems (anxiety, depression etc.)

11. •
In assisting parenting resources, the educator examines the ability
of parents to meet the basic needs of children
•
For raising a healthy child it is need guiding limits and loving,
compassionate care.
•
Relationships that a child will have in later life are built on previous
experiences that a child has with his parents
•
The child who did not received early educational interactions with
his parents will have difficulty in building friendships and in
overcoming the ups and downs that should be expected in future
relationships with his peers (Brazelton T.B., Greenspan S.I., 2013)
12. Adapting to family events
•
a complex, dynamic, multidimensional process
•
each family member having its own :
-dynamics of emotional and behavioral adjustment
-resources and coping strategies
•
involve, in varying degrees, all family members
13. Individual and family educational
interventions for stress
management
•
The desired outcome for children and families is to regain and
maintain the best physical, emotional and vocational condition.
•
Stress management strategies and methods have one of the
following objectives:
to identify, avoid or eliminate stressors
to recognize and minimize negative emotions
to reduce the intensity of emotions and build emotional reserves

changes in lifestyle and building of reserves in the body
-
14. Interventions for family stress
management
•
Health education with families
•
Social work and family counseling
•
Family therapy
•
Support groups
15. Health education
•
Health education is a multidisciplinary approach that aims to :
-change health risk factors through lifestyle changes
-improve functional capacity, self-confidence
-reduce psychological distress
•
Health education programs, primarily addressed to children and
their families, are very few in Romania
16. •
A very important method in adaptation to stress is :
identifying emotions
expressing them
restore emotional
reserves
•
Only a person in emotional balance can look towards needs of
others, showing solidarity
•
Health education which targets multi-stressed families refers to
emotional health which means that a person:
is able to cope with stress as to keep emotional balance in
stressful situations
remain flexible
negotiate or make concessions in conflict situations
-
17. Family health education
•
In dealing with stressful situations, health education services concern two major
components:
1. The educational content – a philosophical dimension (What we know?)
- what kind of information is necessary for a better understanding and awareness of
the phenomenon of family stress
- refers to the information content provided by psychological and sociological health
sciences
- provides knowledge about the history and research on stress family and human
health
1
2
2. The educational process - a practical dimension (What we could do ?)
- aimed at forming behaviors and skills using behavioral sciences
- skills and resources that can be useful in adapting to stress
- training techniques for developing individual and family resources
(Bedworth A.E./Bedworth D.A., 1992)
18. Educational process
• Health education should be :
-easily understandable
-individualized to meet specific needs
• Using several ways, depending on :
- the educational objectives
- needs and learning styles of the target children/parents
• The methods used in the practice of health education can be
focused :
- on the educator (teacher, social worker, counselor etc.), some of
which are: lecture, demonstration, case study and simulation.
- on groups of participants such as brainstorming, small group work,
role-playing technique or aquarium.
19. •
-
Learning at children is based on the use of:
games
books
stories
simple words
•
-
For preschool level children is recommended to use educational
methods such as:
role playing
imitation
involvement (asking questions)
simple explanations using psychomotor skills and discussions
•
For teenagers collaboration and problem solving
•
Adult (independent and self-centered) learning has more success if
they:
-use their experience to solve problems
-collaborate, talk or to perform certain activities.
20. Health promotion
•
Goals achieved through the public information aimed in a particular
community
•
local authorities can plan and provide health education strategies for
-the entire community
-specific community groups (children, youth, parents)
•
use of media and other techniques
•
these educational strategies for health promotion can be included at
the primary level counseling and social services for children, youth
and families in the community
21. Social work and social counseling
•
Family counseling is practiced in local welfare departments
•
•
Social workers are participating in marital and family counseling in a variety
of agencies and organizations, both public and private.
Meanwhile, social workers - an important role in private agencies and family
counseling services which are offered to improve the quality of life for
families (Skidmore, A.R., Thackeray, G.M., Farley, O.W. 1997)
•
Social counseling and the teaching/learning process take place as a whole
•
The process of social counseling made by social worker includes the steps
of :
1. initial evaluation of learning needs
2. social/psychosocial diagnose
3. planning for learning
4. implementation of the plan
5. evaluation of the results of teaching/counseling process
22. Family Counseling
•
A type of intervention with children and families affected by stress
•
A type of brief psychotherapy that can help the families or their
individual members to
gain better relationships
promote understanding among family members
-
•
assumes sharing information, sending and receiving of knowledge,
ideas and theses that are important for successful communication
within the family and in resolving problems.
23. •
Families may have many coping skills to stress
•
For example, the family members are satisfied with their current way of
life when:
do things together as a family
they are careful that each family member improves self-esteem
the family develops community support networks
family members respect each other lifestyle choices
•
Family counseling should include the entire husband-wife-children
group.
•
-
For example, a family counselor can help parents :
become aware of the child's emotional and behavioral reactions
to know how to speak to children about parents problems without
exacerbate feelings of guilt or loyalty sharing
keep their personal worries and concerns for themselves and not
overload children with emotional inadequate disclosures or
responsibilities.
-
24. Parental counseling
•
a family counseling component
•
set of preventive measures and direct support to family members
aimed to increase proper care and education of parents.
•
In assisting parenting resources, a counselor examines parents'
ability to meet the basic needs of their children
•
-
provides favorable actions to :
strengthen parental roles in education
to maintain family cohesion, mainly in the sphere of concerns with
facing the educational function and building attitudes and parenting
and family skills
25. Family therapy
• Is required:
- if the stress is not resolved
- if chosen coping strategies are inadequate
- when individual and family resources are scarce
- family stress progresses into family crisis
•
-
-
Family therapy services were established and developed
in developed countries
in the civil service system for families
have expanded into the public system
can be achieved by the family through complex services provided by
multidisciplinary teams consisting of family therapists, doctors,
social workers, psychologists, lawyers etc.
offer today increasingly focus on
* a comprehensive bio-psycho-social approach to problems
* how these issues affect relationships and behaviors within families
26. •
The family stress management counseling is a cooperative
process.
•
Therefore, before deciding if a family needs help and could get
adequate support from a family therapist, the counselor will
have to build a relationship with family members in order to
understand their worries, asses the magnitude of their
difficulties, needs, skills, resources and weaknesses.
•
Family therapy is :
- a restructuring of family relationships
- which is done in time
- with systematic actions
- based on specific techniques that grant interpersonal skills
- that allow full development of the family members.
(Nichols P.M., Schwartz, C.R., 2005 )
27. Collaboration
* involves recognition of the expertise of all parties involved
* family members are the best experts in their lives
* when this experience is known and clarified, they are able to change
* counseling which involving respect :
- process of knocking on the door and wait to be invited in, rather than
to destroy the door to enter by force and then expect to be received
with open arms (Alan Jenkins,1996)
-
collaborative process that emphasizes abilities, skills and knowledge
of both parties
28. •
Counselors have expertise in creating contexts that support
family members in finding their opportunities and developing
resources to cope with problems
•
"watch people more compassionately and less suspiciously“
•
Appreciative alliance expression refers to the position that
allows family members to experience the fact that the specialist
is on their side (Epston D., 1999)
29. •
The objectives of family therapy are:
-
effective resolution for problems faced by the family in everyday life
dealing with situations of transition in the life cycle of the family and
facilitating adaptation to changes imposed by these
assisting individuals to be aware of certain needs, emotions, negative
thoughts, behaviors and problematic situations
listening, understanding and accepting feelings of inadequacy of the people
involved in the counseling process
identifying the causes of problematic situations, as well as finding alternative
solutions
promoting family well-being in harmony with their needs
improving the family environment
solving communication disruptions
finding best approach regarding the common tasks and role, improving
functionality of the system
clarifying the issues affecting the family that require a concerted group effort
to be solved
children can learn to do well in school, to verbalize their feelings
family can learn constructive ways to support them, removing those who
undermined functionality and caused anxiety
-
30. Support groups
•
Another kind of intervention with multi-stressed family
•
A support group is an indispensable method of helping
clients/families to deal with loads of issues while adapting to new
and unexpected situations
•
A support group is an essential method to help children/families face
the task of adapting to new situations
•
Is an educational process that focuses on development and social
adaptation of an individual through voluntary association in a group
and using this association as having the significance of other
socially desirable finalities
31. •
is a tool that helps children with behavioral disorders to prepare for
reintegration and participation in community life
•
parents can be directed to community support groups to help them
cope with their emotions and reactions, subsequently providing
maximum understanding for their children
•
the purpose of the group can be described based on the following
aspects:
declaration of the problems, symptoms and present concerns
identification of the aspects of normal development of a child
a goal of all group members to become better informed and prevent
problematic behaviors by acquiring clear information or by learning
problem solving skills (Malekoff A., 2004)
-
32. Conclusions
•
•
•
The medical and social systems of Romania present gaps such as lack of
specific forms of support for multi-stressed families
the rudimentary health education among a significant part of the population
results in reduced usage of preventive services
some of the priorities in the field of stress management care may be the
following:
- education of children from multi-stressed families through development of
educational and counseling programs that encourage healthy lifestyles with
a focus on maintaining health
-awareness regarding the needs of children
-change of attitude towards stress from considering it something
unavoidable towards regarding it as a distress that could be prevented
-use of multiple channels to transmit messages
-education of professionals by developing continuous educational programs
for family physicians, educators, social workers, family therapists who
provide preventive and counseling services, including how these programs
can be integrated into their practice
-training of parents and specialists to improve networking and
communication skills with children etc.
33. Solidarity and creativity
•
two important features of a society in which family education and
intergenerational learning are key interventions
•
can be hardly found in families that fail to manage stressors that put
pressure on them
•
can be developed only in families who preserve authentic relationships
based on love and mutual respect
