The document outlines an accountability framework and professional learning model used by Chaffey Secondary College. It links staff professional development plans to the school improvement plan and includes targets for student learning, engagement, and transitions. The professional learning model incorporates cycles of inquiry, knowledge building, and assessment standards to guide teachers' professional practice and identify areas for growth. Staff create an individual action plan and portfolio to document their learning and reflect on impacts on students.

The intelligent game designer: Game design as a new domain for automated disc...rndmcnlly
Designing video games is commonly understood to be a creative task,
drawing on a designer's talent, inspiration, and personal experience.
The last ten years have seen multiple calls from the design community to
produce reusable knowledge about the structure of games and the design
process itself. These designers would like to establish a standardized
language and libraries of design patterns so that the next generation of
designers can benefit from the best of past generations. The
realization of such a move can be read as a transition from thinking
about game design as a playable-artifact creation process to a science
of play in which we might see the designer's goal as discovering new
gameplay structures and their production of concrete games as a side
effect of this process.
Thirty years ago, a similar-yet-disconnected thread of research in
artificial intelligence was just being born. First marked by Doug
Lenat's AM (an “automated mathematician”), discovery systems aim to
automatically produce new and interesting knowledge. Such systems
contrast sharply with the then-popular expert systems which applied
fixed libraries of “expert” knowledge to various tasks. Discovery
systems, which have commonly operated in the domains of natural science
and mathematics, are now seen as distant ancestors of contemporary,
statistical machine learning techniques which find extensive application
in a wide array of industries. Contrary to the current emphasis on the
optimal learning statistical descriptions of data, some recent
developments in machine learning, specifically combined abductive and
inductive logic learning systems, are bringing the production and
revision of structured, symbolic knowledge back into focus.
Simultaneous research in computational creativity is making inroads into
modeling the creative process and the production of creative artifacts.
This is the question I aim to answer: If we squint a bit to see game
design as the science-of-play that some designers imagine it to be, can
we build a discovery system that really works in the domain of game
design? Can we build an intelligent game designer?
In my thesis proposal I lay out a plan to build an intelligent game
designer that learns from the process of game design, including the
observation of human players, and exports newly discovered design
knowledge. This will require an operationalization of game design as an
automatable, scientific process and a detailed re-synthesis of the
creative design of expressive artifacts as a knowledge-seeking effort.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Further layers exist within the core – Departmental Priorities and Initiatives influence the Strategic direction of the plans. At the school level the AIP has specific targets around 3 main areas:Student LearningStudent Engagement and WellbeingStudent Pathways and TransitionsThis is an important document to be familiar with.PRINCIPAL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANSSets the strategic direction and plan for school improvement to reach the targets of the AIP. Identifies and specifies Professional Learning Foci (The Planets) and steers the development of the policies, programs, structures and resources to support the AIP towards success.STAFF PERFORAMNCE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANSIncludes plans for professional learning and development closely aligned with the other plans – some of this is pre-determined by the other plans. (eg. The Planets). The plans must also reflect the standards and evidence that is required of staff at their classification and role.The Annual Implementation Plan
Rather than have performance and appraisal measured at arbitrary points in time we are completing the requirements step-by-step over time.The learning and development must be connected to the classroom in real ways rather than artificially derived to meet a performance indicator at an appraisal meeting. The teachers day to day work is the ultimate decider of student success.Leadership is engaged in the process as learners and facilitators. As PLT Leaders they will guide and support you through the process.Whilst there is a ‘Zone of Discretion’ in each teachers classroom and professional decisions are required daily to best meet the needs of individual students and classes, there are common practices we seek to imbed and students should be able to see and access some consistent practices and methods across there classes, not the least of which is the approach to certain writing tasks. (p. 17 – Timperley: Case Study – Where teachers deepened their pedagogical knowledge of writing and were able to give specific feedback related to the learning objectives they were successful in raising their students results. This is what we are attempting to do with the focus on writing we began last year.)
We must keep these questions at the forefront of our work together and also provide opportunities for our students to have clear information and assistance to answer these questions for themselves. Our Professional Learning ‘Planets’ will help us to gain the knowledge, skill and understanding to be able to reflect on how we are doing as individuals, in our teams and as a school.
The first one (Cycles of Inquiry and knowledge building for teacher professional practice) is primarily the Professional Learning we do, particularly the PLT work around the Planets and the practical application in the classroom. The second one, (Review and Reflection – Assessment standards) is how we DO the work, the methods and tools we use for reflection and evaluation. It is how we monitor our own and our student’s progress and achievement against standards and expectations.
The work we have did in our PLT’s last year followed this Action based model. At stage 1 we identified particular needs from our students through data and feedback from student data, walkthroughs, Instructional Rounds etc. At stage 2, 4 Theories of Action: Learning Intentions, Written responses, Success Criteria and Feedback became the basis for the Knowledge and Skill building we believed necessary (this was also influenced by the Regional Plan). In stage 3 we engaged in Professional Learning through our PLT’s and in stage 4 we applied this in practical ways in our classrooms. At stage 5 we received feedback from our colleagues through Peer Observations, engaged in reflection and presented evidence of the effects of the changed practices.
Our Professional learning Model from 2011 and now in 2012.The ‘Planets’ will guide us through a full Calendar of Learning. The Leadership team engages in Professional Learning by forming small teams to investigate, research and develop the Professional Development around each of the Planets. This mini-team teaches the Leadership Team and receives feedback. The PD is refined and changed as a result of the feedback. PLT Leaders then deliver the PD to their PLT teams and monitor the professional actions required from the members. We expect that the our experiences of the Learning will be challenging yet supported at every stage.
These 4 Assessment Standards will be used by all teachers to provide the data needed for planning, feedback, reflection, evaluation and evidence of our Professional learning and Development and its practical application in the classroom. It is how we go about answering for ourselves and our students the three key questions of where am I going, how am I doing and where to next?
The ‘Planets’ of Professional learning will guide us through our requirements for learning for the year. We will support each other in this process through the work we do together in our PLT’s.Learning and Appraisal will run concurrently throughout the year. As staff engage in the PLT Learning and Actions they will be meeting those requirements of their appraisal.There is an opportunity for staff to pursue specific and individual development that is connected to their classification, role or a particular need.
The Portfolio will initially be a hard copy file of the elements you see on the screen. As we develop the Portfolio we would like to move it to the Staff Ultranet space. The student data refers to a variety of data available to you and that you should be referring to as you begin every new class with your students: A good starting point is the Data Sheet Toppy created for Course Counselling – it provides a great snapshot of each student. Be mindful of needing collecting and referring to data for specific and special reasons such as Koorie Education and learning Plans, PSD plans, Individual Student Education Plans etc. Data may be ‘base-line’ and also ‘post test or intervention’. It can be used for reflection, evaluation and planning as you move through continuous cycles of inquiry and knowledge building with your students.We will be using the same model of Professional Learning as we did last year – The Leadership team will be expected to engage in Professional Learning and in turn lead the PLT’s through the same learning. Each ‘Planet’ will have associated activities and requirements. These must be included in the Portfolio.PoLT surveys – We used these some time ago in the College and they provide excellent data for teachers to reflect on and use in planning. The surveys have both teacher and student components. They can be completed on the computer. A reflection activity will have each individual analyse the results of their surveys and form a plan of action around the results of the survey. This is not intended to be arduous or difficult. It is designed to have teachers respond to the identified needs of their students. Often there are small things that can be done that have a huge impact. The PLT leader will assist each teacher in this process.The PoLT Action Plan is formed from this process. – Again it need not be a huge amount of work. However, the plan will be evaluated by the teacher for its effectiveness as we get towards the end of the year.The Individual Action Plan can be connected to the PoLT plan or may be something different depending on the teachers need, classification and/or role.Peer Observation – we did these last year and they will continue. Evidence of the pre and post observation planning and feedback should be included in the Portfolio.The PLT leaders and PCO’s will do at least one Walkthrough on your class each term and provide you with feedback.Student Work Examples should feature in your portfolio to demonstrate the effects of the practical application of your learning, knowledge and skills.
Keep everything you do in your portfolio as you proceed with your work.
You will add to your Portfolio throughout the year. You should bring it to every PLT session and may be useful at your Learning Area meetings.
